| Beskrivning: |
Owner-controlled and owner-managed firms constitute the major part of business life in Sweden, Europe and South Africa and contribute to a country’s economic development and social welfare. To bring about the economic transformation in the South African context, black economic empowerment (BEE) and employment equity are the two primary tools of addressing socio-economic imbalances of business ownership and employment. Some of the elements of the BEE process are ownership and control of enterprises and economic assets, enterprise development, employment equity and human resource development. There is thus a demand to better understand how the capabilities for a business firm to develop and grow are related to ownership including entrepreneurial initiatives, activities, and entrepreneurial potential. The overall purpose of this collaborative research programme is to contribute with new and comparative knowledge about entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and how EO can be maintained and practiced in owner-controlled, owner-managed and/or family-owned companies in Sweden and South Africa. We are thus interested in “the new”, i.e. how these groups generate new opportunities and create a distinctive pool of resources that can be exploited as an entrepreneurial competitive advantage across time. By conducting at least 5 in depth case studies and a survey of a total of 100 respondents in each country during the 3-year period we will through the established network of STEP (Successful Transgenerational Entrepreneurship Practices) contribute to the global picture and world-wide research results about entrepreneurial orientation in an emerging interest about the role and effects of ownership. The project is highly interactive with practitioners and will have direct implications for participating companies. The Code of Good Practice in South Africa guiding the BBBEE process benefits from the results easing the socioeconomic development in South Africa. Further, the project is intended to lead to the establishment of a Sub-Saharan Africa STEP research team. Such a team will make it possible to expand the existing STEP project from being almost global to truly global. |
