"With the signing of new sustainable development goals in 2016, marking a new phase of global development focused on ecologically and fiscally sustainable human settlements, few countries offer a better testing ground than post-Apartheid South Africa. Since the coming to power of the African National Congress, the country has undergone a revolution in policy, driven by an urgent need to improve access to services for the country's black majority. Twenty years after the end of Apartheid, Building a Capable State asks what lessons can be learned from the South African experience. The book assesses whether the South African government has succeeded in improving key services, focusing on the vital sectors of water and sanitation, energy, roads, and public transport. Emphasizing the often-overlooked role of local government institutions, Building a CapableState demonstrates that effective service delivery can have a profound effect on the social structure of emerging economies, and must form an integral part of any future development strategy. Employing a detailed, country-focused case study, this book will be essential reading for practitioners of public policy and researchers across the social sciences."--Provided by publisher.

The business world has undergone major upheavals since 2020, when the world started to experience a completely different business environment. Businesses had to adapt their operations in a drastic and profound manner simply to survive. With the world literally shutting down, the way in which business had previously been done came to an end. As the saying goes, the only constant in the business environment is change. The pandemic that hit the world in 2020 has led to massive changes in the business environment. All businesses had to adapt their ways of doing business. This led to many innovations, with businesses being forced to be proactive and innovative in their approach. In many respects, businesses have adapted to the challenges posed by the environment and, even though some businesses did not survive, many have excelled and grown in these turbulent times. These changes have forced businesses to build relationships with their customers and to improve loyalty. The focus in the short term will be on the customer experience, customer retention and customer loyalty, as businesses work hard to survive over the next few years. In order to meet the expectations of today's demanding and unpredictable consumers, marketers and students of marketing alike need to be aware of the latest trends in marketing methods and technologies and how to use them to attract and keep customers. The fifth edition of Marketing Management: A South African Perspective, the leading marketing textbook in Southern Africa, adopts a new perspective on the business environment and the way in which businesses can deal with changes in that environment.

Accounting literature refers to the procedural and conceptual approaches in the teaching of an introductory accounting course. This book integrates these two approaches by teaching students to understand the why, before considering the how of accounting. The pedagogical philosophy used here is referred to as the 'concepts model', hence the title. This impacts on both the order of teaching the topics as well as how various topics are taught. The effect of the concepts-based approach is particularly evident in the chapters that relate to the accounting process which give students a complete, conceptual understanding of the underlying transactions before applying the accounting equation and then only processing the transactions through bookkeeping entries. By this means, students are able to acquire a conceptual understanding of each topic before considering the procedural aspects. The seventh edition of A Concepts Based Introduction to Financial Accounting is up to date with the requirements of the 2018 as well as the current requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This book is accompanied by Questions, Exercises and Problems in Financial Accounting: A Concepts-based Introduction by the same author.
