Book excerpt: One of the most under-appreciated consequences of the transition from apartheid to non-racial democracy in South Africa is the unprecedented rise in the number and relative economic and political power of black entrepreneurs in various sectors of the economy from which they were previously excluded by over 800 laws and by social conventions. This change is occurring probably faster than was the case for previously excluded populations in the United States, Brazil, Malaysia, and certainly in Namibia, Zimbabwe and even several other non-settler African countries at comparable periods in their post-liberation experiences. This runs counter to the deafening but short-sighted claims that black business development or "black economic empowerment" (BEE) specifically, has benefited a few politically-connected "fat cats." Along with about 400,000 new black entrants into the salaried middle classes each year, black entrepreneurs are darkening the face of South Africa's economy, even though wealth is still disproportionately concentrated in the hands of the 9 percent white minority. Yet, a balanced and long-term view of these transformations suggests that the rise of black enterprise into the economic mainstream will have tremendous implications for black political struggles and for South Africa's democracy overall.

Download or read book Beyond Tenderpreneurship written by MISTRA MISTRA and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2020-04-16 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) policies have been a central pillar of attempts to overcome the economic legacy of apartheid. Yet, more than two decades into democracy, economic exclusion in South Africa still largely re?ects the fault-lines of the apartheid era. Current discourse often con?ates BEE with the so-called tenderpreneurship referred to in the title, namely the reliance of some emergent black capitalists on state patronage. Authors go beyond this notion to understand BEEs role from a unique perspective. They trace the history of black entrepreneurship and how deliberate policies under colonialism and its apartheid variant sought to suppress this impulse. In the context of modern South Africa, authors interrogate the complex dynamics of class formation, economic empowerment and redress against the backdrop of broader macroeconomic policies. They examine questions relating to whether B-BBEE policies are informed by strategies to change the structure of the economy. These issues are explored against the backdrop of the experiences of other developing countries and their journeys of industrialisation. The relevant black empowerment experiences of countries such as the United States are also discussed. The authors identify policy and programmatic interventions to forge the non-racial future that the constitution enjoins South Africans to build.

Book excerpt: Although female entrepreneurs struggle to balance work and family life, little attention has been paid to the effects of the entrepreneurial lifestyle on their children.A study of women entrepreneurs from the United States, a developed nation, and South Africa, a developing nation, promises to illuminate the impact of women's entrepreneurial activities on childhood experiences, perceptions, and visions of the future, as well as the factors that most influence the career plans of children who are growing up with an entrepreneurial mother.Following a review of research on women-owned businesses, the structure of the study is outlined. The South African sample comprised 10 "entrepreneurial" families, while the United States' sample included 13 families.Three surveys (one each for the mothers, teenage children, and adult children) were administered.Entrepreneurs were asked to assess the impact of the business on family life and the children's experiences and career goals, while children were asked how having a mother who owned a business affected their lives and career plans. Most entrepreneurs reported that family demands slowed the growth of their businesses but saw themselves as role models for their children; in particular, mothers felt that they had an impact on their children's appreciation for professional independence, as well as their understanding of the need for a balance between work and family. Children, meanwhile, regarded the business as disruptive of family life but generally did not resent the disruption.Although they respected their mothers' career choices and associated entrepreneurship with freedom, control, and achievement, most children reported a desire not to follow their mothers' footsteps.Overall, the study suggests that female entrepreneurs are indeed capable of balancing work and family demands and that the impact of female entrepreneurship on childhood experiences is mostly positive.(SAA).

Download or read book Entrepreneurship in Africa written by Ven Sriram and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is now widely recognized that in regions like Africa, for economic and other reasons, the public sector has had to disengage and divest from many areas of the economy and allow private enterprise, especially scalable start-ups and new ventures, to enter and flourish if economic development and employment are to grow. There is, however, a training and education gap since entrepreneurship is rarely taught formally at African universities and, when it is, it is often approached from a Western perspective which may not be appropriate given that African environments are significantly different from most Western ones in terms of economic infrastructure and political considerations. This book allows readers to understand the African entrepreneurial context by guiding them through the principal stages in the life of a new venture, and offers approaches, both Western and indigenous, that can inform their entrepreneurial actions. It concludes by examining some specialized topics, including female, youth, and social entrepreneurship, as well as real estate and technology. Exercises throughout the book will enable readers to evaluate their motivations and preparedness for entrepreneurship and learn how to communicate a new venture’s key features to potential stakeholders. By focusing on the distinctive features of entrepreneurship in the African context, and taking a conversational tone, this is an informative and practical text that will be useful for students of Global Entrepreneurship and Business as well as actual and prospective entrepreneurs in the private, non-profit, and public sectors.
