Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Communication Science at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2009. / According to Grobler, et al (2005:315) organisational learning is a characteristic of an adaptive organisation, i.e. an organisation that is able to sense changes in signals from its environment (both internal and external).
One of Ticor South Africa's1 (TSA) corporate values is to be a learning organisation. This implies that the organisation actively creates, captures, transfers and mobilises knowledge which enables it to adapt to a changing environment TSA utilise an interactive learning strategy.

The Wikipedia . website (2009:http/en.wikipedia.org/wi3d/ Organisational culture#cite-note-hill iones-Q#cite_note-hill iones-0) states that it deals with a specific collection of values and norms that are shared by people and groups in an organisation. It controls the way they interact with each other and with stakeholders outside the organisation.
In any new dynamic organisation the diverse background of a new workforce and their cultural differences creates a purist culture. This also adds to the implementation of the organisation's vision.

Towards developing a communication strategy for water re-use in South AfricaMamabolo, Mamogobo Rosinah January 2020 (has links)
Thesis (M.A. (Communication Studies)) -- University of Limpopo, 2020 / This study aimed to develop a communication strategy for water re-use in Basic
Education, which included illustrative learning materials which were suitable for online
learning. To attain the intended aim, the study focussed on the subsequent objectives:
to review and analyse learners’ and educators’ perceptions and understanding
(knowledge) of water re-use; to examine strategies that could be employed to gain
learners’ and educators’ understanding and acceptance of water re-use; to develop
information or learning materials that would educate and enhance their understanding
and informed decision making related to water re-use; and to discuss approaches to
communicate water re-use in Basic Education. A qualitative orientation utilising
participatory action research was employed as a research design for this study. A
sample size of 80 participants, from four primary and four secondary schools in
Mankweng Township was selected. 40 learners and 40 educators were selected.
Convenience sampling was used to select the participants for this study. Data was
collected by means of interviews, focus group discussions, workshops, teaching and
participant observation. Thereafter, thematic analysis and NVivo software were
employed to analyse data.
This study employed Geertz’s notion of culture, Vygotsky’s social constructivism and
the behaviour ecological model as theoretical frameworks to guide the research.
Geertz’s interpretation of cultures was employed to understand culture and its effects
on human behaviour, Vygotsky’s social constructivism was employed to understand
the process of effective learning in educational contexts and the behaviour ecological
model was employed to understand individuals’ behaviours and the background of the
given behaviour. Understanding an individual’s behaviour and experiences towards
water re-use assisted in developing water re-use illustrative learning materials. It also
assisted with a communication strategy, which integrated Steyn and Puth’s steps, in
the formulation of a communication strategy, joint approach model and a step by step
content of a communication strategy and action plan model.
The study revealed that the majority of individuals have negative perceptions and
attitudes towards water re-use, due to a lack of awareness, knowledge and education.
The “yuck” factor and health apprehensions were revealed to be major causes of such
perceptions and attitudes. Education, campaigns and programmes, traditional and
v
new media, community meetings, rules, policies and regulation were reported as
strategies which might be employed to promote water re-use. The study revealed that
individuals’ home language must be made use of in all the water re-use promotional
strategies. Communication approaches which promoted a platform for community
participation, were revealed as appropriate for development programmes. As a result,
participatory and development approaches to communication were considered
suitable for communicating water re-use in Basic Education. The study further
indicated that posters and storyboards were effective illustrative learning materials
which could be employed to educate learners and raise their cognition regarding water
re-use as a water conservation method. This would increase acceptability, awareness
and practice and reduce negative perceptions, attitudes and concerns. The study
indicated that water re-use communication should consider an individuals’
environmental, religious and cultural backgrounds, which would affect water re-use
projects. The study also indicated that there was a relationship between an individuals’
perceptions, attitudes, education and culture.
