Piketty’s fix for inequality in sync with development plan, Prof Raymond Parsons ON AUGUST 16 2012, the South African police intervened in a labour conflict between workers at the Marikana platinum mine near Rustenburg and the mine owners — the stockholders of Lonmin Inc based in London. Police fired on the strikers with live ammunition. Thirty-five miners were killed …. This episode reminds us that the…, XENOPHOBIA - BUSINESS MUST ACT, Prof Raymond Parsons The seriousness with which the political leadership across the board is now taking the worrying outbreak of xenophobia in SA is welcome. There needs to be decisive and principled action to deal with the problem from all key stakeholders in the economy, bearing in mind that it occurred previously in 2008...read more , Buck stops here and not with the dollar, Prof Raymond Parsons A period of self-flagellation inevitably lies ahead for the South African economy, which is not in a good space, thanks to the twin fiscal and trade deficits, energy insecurity, labour conflict, policy uncertainty, weak investor confidence and the strong dollar, among other things.

Foute word gemaak en probleme word soms net so gelaat. Daar is deurlopend uitdagings, soos om die beste bemarkingstegniek vir jou onderneming te identifiseer, jou…, Sakekamers kan klein ondernemings help, Prof Tommy du Plessis Almal op die AHi-kongres in Potchefstroom verlede week was dit eens dat wat Suid-Afrika nodig het, duisende nuwe kleinsakeondernemings is – ’n syfer van minstens 1 miljoen voor 2030 is genoem. Kortweg kom dit daarop neer dat hoe meer klein- en middelslag-ondernemings (KMO’s) gevestig en suksesvol bedryf kan word, hoe meer…http://commerce.nwu.ac.za/af/business/community
