This study covers literature and empirical studies where twenty (20) learners from violent homes in Itsoseng and Bodibe areas and eight (8)teachers of Tau-Rapulana, Tswelelopele, Opa-Diatla and Mmuagabo were selected and interviewed. The study was undertaken to investigate the impact of domestic violence on primary and high school learners. The findings of the study revealed that: > Violence cuts across all families of different social backgrounds and economic statuses > Family members are mostly the perpetrators of domestic violence. > Learners from violent families are not readily accepted by both teachers and other learners alike. > Community members and neighbours are not doing enough to address the problem of domestic violence. The study therefore suggests that: > Prevention approaches, treatment and other mechanisms be put in place to deal with the problem of domestic violence. > Schools should introduce a curriculum which teaches non-violent conflict resolution skills. > Teachers should be trained to be able to recognize abused children and to help them.>The government should increase the number of shelters to house learners from violent homes. > Peer-mediated approaches should be utilized to help affected learners socialize effectively with their peers. / Thesis (M.A. (LLC)) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2004

The purpose of this research is to increase understanding about the influence of the family on internationalisation of family firms in the Swedish context, in terms of family human, social and financial capital. Multiple cases of four Swedish manufacturing family firms were studied by conducting interviews with the family members working in the family firm. A perspective of family capital and its three components of human, social and financial capital, was adopted to analyse the empirical findings. The findings identify several positive and negative influences of the family on internationalisation of the firm. Positive factors include: family members’ deep knowledge about the firm, commitment, long-term perspective, family values like honesty, trust. Negative factors include: family firms are slow-to-change, family’s strong commitment to local society and family’s goal of slow and steady growth. Most factors confirm existing theory, on other theories these findings shed critical lights and some new insights were made. Based on the findings, future research suggestions are made.
