Thesis (MTech (Education))--Cape Technikon, Cape Town, 2004 / The textile industry in South Africa is regarded as a labour intensive industry with high capital investment. Presently, the textile industry is facing the impact that globalisation will have on the local industry, which emphasises the importance of training and development in the face of decreasing levels of human resources. These decreasing levels of employment will result in the loss of highly technical expertise with no replacement source in the labour market, unless textile technologists are educated to compensate for the loss. The White Paper on the Transformation of Higher Education (1997) indicates that one of the purposes of higher education is to proVide the labour market, in a knowledgedriven and knowledge-dependent society, with the high-level competencies and expertise necessary for the growth and prosperity of a modern global economy. The establishment of the National Qualifications Framework in South Africa has diluted the rigid boundaries between education and training, requiring of Higher Education to establish programmes that are responsive to the needs of industry. The focus of this research project is to develop and evaluate an outcomes-based textile technologist curriculum based on the education and training needs of the Western Cape textile industry in particular, as a result of environmental changes impacting on the South African textile industry in general. The development and evaluation of an outcomes-based qualification in textile technology take place Within a world of constant change, where work and education are becoming increasingly interwoven, stressing the importance for higher education in South Africa to transform by developing learning programmes in harmony with industry and by specialising in making knowledge useful and applicable.

Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2010. / The company studied is a privately owned textile company, which is part of the CAP Germany Group of companies. It is one of the leading textile knitting mills in Southern Africa and has won several awards in this regard, whilst it has also been subject to quite a few changes over the last few years. The company recently appointed a new Chief Executive Officer to lead the textile mill into the technical market, and extend the range of the fashion apparel, which it focuses on as its main product. With the aim of keeping the company in the forefront of new development, it has become important to keep its management team well informed and for them to make strategic decisions with much focus on analysis of the information that is available to them. The textile mill has a SAP ERP system, which was implemented as to provide a source of information, hence management can analyse this information that is available to aid them in their decision-making.

Esta região começou a ser colonizada em 1850, e apenas 30 anos depois já iniciava a fabricação têxtil, tornando-se uma área de relevância no país, de modo que hoje não é compreendida sem que se entenda o desenvolvimento e as transformações de capital desta indústria. Esta pesquisa estuda as grandes empresas têxteis que ajudaram a formar e a transformar historicamente esta economia regional. Procura-se entender as especificidades desta formação socioeconômica, as origens do capital fundador deste ramo industrial e especialmente as mutações no pós-1970, diante da financeirização global e da busca de novos espaços para acumulação de capital / Abstract: Large textile groups are an essential part of the social and economic history of Blumenau and Brusque, cities located in the Vale do Itajaí region in the southern state of Santa Catarina. The region was first colonized in 1850, with textile production beginning just 30 years later. It became one of the key manufacturing areas in Brazil, in a way that cannot be recognized without understanding the development and transformation of the textile industry. This research is focused on the major textile companies that helped create and transform this regional economy. It attempts to examine the social and economic specificities of this area, the groups' founding capital and, most importantly, its transformations after the 1970s amid global financialization and the search for new places for capital accumulation / Mestrado / Desenvolvimento Economico, Espaço e Meio Ambiente / Mestra em Desenvolvimento Econômico

O conceito de família de cidades relaciona-se à implantação de novas infra-estruturas em áreas urbanas, como resposta às exigências do mercado para uma produção moderna. Sugerimos a importância da indústria têxtil no contexto geral da industrialização brasileira até os dias atuais, e procuramos mostrar as alterações ocorridas em sua distribuição espacial pelo território brasileiro, no período de 1960 a 2000. Diversos segmentos compõem o setor têxtil (produção de fibras e filamentos, fiação, tecelagem plana, malharia e acabamento/beneficiamento) e, recentemente no Brasil, observamos um processo de concentração produtiva e especialização nesses segmentos. Abordamos a atuação de empresas pertencentes a grandes grupos multinacionais na produção têxtil brasileira, assim como a reorganização produtiva desses grupos em nível mundial, especialmente na produção de fibras e filamentos têxteis de origem química. Também enfocamos a agroindústria algodoeira, com a atuação de grandes grupos, e o segmento integrado de fiação/tecelagem, com a liderança de grandes grupos nacionais têxteis. Especificamente em relação à mencionada família de cidades, sugerimos a importância da atividade têxtil na dinamização econômica dos dois circuitos da economia urbana. No decorrer da pesquisa, observamos a continuidade, a diversificação, bem como a intensificação da atuação de forças externas sobre essa família de cidades têxteis / Abstract: The present study searched to comprehend the externa I forces actuation on the process of formation and actual organization of the family of the textile cities composed by Americana, Nova Odessa, Santa Bárbara d'Oeste and Sumaré, situated in the State of São Paulo. The concept of family of cities concems to the implantation of new substructure in urban areas, as a response to the mercantile exigencies for a modem production. We suggested the importance of the textile industry in the general context of the brazilian industrialization up to the present days, and aimed to show the alterations occurred in its spacial distribution through the brazilian territory, from 1960 to 2000. Different segments compose the textile sector (production of fibers and filaments, wiring, plain texture, hosiery and finishing/refining) and, recently in Brazil, we can observe a process of concentration of production and specialization in these segments. We also set to discussion the influence of companies which belong to big intemational groups on the brazilian textile production, as well as the worldwide productive reorganization of these groups, in special in the production of textile fibers and filaments of chemical origino We focussed as well the cotton agricultural industry, with the action of big groups, and the integrated segment of wiring/weaving, with the leadership of big national textile groups. Specifically related to the mentioned family of cities, we suggested the importance of textile activity on the economic dynamism of both circuits of the urban economy. During the study, we observed the continuity, the diversification as well as the intensification of extemal forces actuation on these family of textile cities / Mestrado / Análise Ambiental e Dinâmica Territorial / Mestre em Geografia
