- Description: The tender system is a complex process requiring attention to detail; when followed correctly, it is advantageous for both the vendor/service provider and the customer (public or private sector). However, many factors affect it and end up contributing to its ineffectiveness. This study mentions political interference and bureaucracy, maladministration, fraud, corruption, flawed tender practices, delay in payments and lack of skills by tender administrators. Against this background, the primary objective of this study is to contribute to improving the tender system in Buffalo City Municipality by investigating the factors that make it ineffective. A quantitative research design was used, and a sample was taken from contractors carrying out work for Buffalo City Metropolitan Municipality in the Eastern Cape Province. Convenience sampling was used while conducting this study. This study’s demographic data is analysed in percentage form using simple descriptive statistics. Once data had been gathered from the independent and dependent variables, the researcher used it to draw a conclusion and inferences using inferential statistics to show relationships between multiple variables to generalise results and make predictions. A multiple regression analysis was also employed. , Thesis (MBA) -- Faculty of Business and Economic Sciences, Business School, 2024

- Description: This study investigated the impact in the telecommunication and broadband sectors on growth, employment creation, and poverty alleviation. It employs micro-simulation techniques and an economy-wide Leontief-based social accounting matric multiplier model to assess empirically the influence that fiscal injection into these sectors has in achieving South Africa's macroeconomic objectives. The study found positive but declining trends in output multipliers in the telecommunication sector over the past recession period (2009-18), signifying the enervation of the intersectoral multiplier effect over the post-recession period. Fiscal injection into the telecommunication and broadband sectors led to poverty reduction and to job creation in South Africa. However, the overall findings of this study highlight gender biases, spatial imbalances between urban and non-urban, an age gulf between young people and adults and further imbalance between formal and informal employment. The study commends that the government follows a priorities- weighted state spending policy which concurrently targets projects generating high gross value added and employment multipliers and with high capacity to address the disparity caused by the legacy of aparthied , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Business and Economic science, 2022
