Thesis (MTech (Marketing))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017. / This thesis, through the lenses of technology acceptance theory, and considering the lack of online interactivity in service delivery, aimed at proposing a model of online business registration adoption for re-branding the government Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Congo-Brazzaville. Task-Technology Fit (TTF) and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) were the underpinning theories with which the study described the social phenomenon: online business registration adoption at DTI Congo-Brazzaville as branding tool. Arguably, in doctoral level, without underpinning theories, research conclusions look speculative. The use of theory to underpin this study was further motivated by its interpretative nature and the interplay between technical and non-technical factors which are involved in the process of technology adoption in service organisation. To come up with new engagement, and informed from successful implementation of DTI South Africa’s e-governance model, DTI Congo was used as case study; hence the country is known for being at the bottom of the pile when it comes to the ease of doing business ratings. Despite resultant benefits namely increased efficiency, effectiveness and improved service delivery that offer e-governance in making services nearer to citizens and easing the strenuous processes involved in manual operations, not all managers at the DTI Congo advocate the adoption of online business system. The problem is that insufficient advocacy of online business registration enforces the void of re-positioning the organisation vis-à-vis its internal customers (employees) as lean and innovative. The overall research question is: “how does the DTI Congo-Brazzaville intend to improve business registration using online business registration service as a branding tool”? The main objective therefore was to propose online service adoption re-branding and re-positioning DTI Congo-Brazzaville.

Tradition Céramique et Unité Culturelle chez les Kongo d’Afrique Centrale:<p>Une approche ethnoarchéologique<p><p>Thèse présentée pour l’obtention du grade de Docteur en Philosophie et Lettres<p>par Léopold MPIKA<p><p>En analysant la production des céramiques contemporaines Kongo, on peut s'efforcer de vérifier l'hypothèse selon laquelle les populations, qui se disent Kongo du Royaume de Kongo, sont effectivement héritières d'une formation sociopolitique ancienne et culturellement unitaire.<p>L’observation des chaînes opératoires céramiques des populations bantoues du groupe H10 (Manyanga, Sundi, Dondo, Kamba et Bembé) a permis de relever un certain nombre de convergences et de divergences techniques. Il n'y a pas de statut particulier, seules les femmes s'intéressent au façonnage des poteries. Elles travaillent seules ou en groupe organisé. Les matières premières, argile noire, grise, rouge ou blanche, ainsi que la psammite, sont exploitées sur les bords des rivières et leurs confluent et sur les flancs des collines. Ces matières premières sont extraites avec des outils utilisés habituellement pour les travaux agricoles, comme la houe ou la daba. L'argile est préparée par adjonction de psammite et malaxage sur une meule avec une molette. Le façonnage consiste à modeler un cône d'argile à base arrondie que la potière creuse pour former le fond et la panse des récipients. La partie supérieure des vases est façonnée par adjonction de colombins. Le décor intervient en deux temps :après le façonnage et après la cuisson. Lorsque l’ébauche a légèrement séché au soleil, les parois sont incisées avec une spatule, des arêtes de poisson ou au dicrotachynutans. Enfin, après quelques semaines de séchage, les poteries sont cuites en meules et décorées immédiatement à l’aide d’une décoction de bridelia ferruginea. Le contact du sel, les menstruations, les relations sexuelles sont interdits aux femmes potières pendant le façonnage des poteries.<p>Cette recherche a permis d’identifier deux grands ensembles de traditions céramiques Kongo au Bas-Congo.

Le deuxième groupe comprend la céramique Dondo, Kamba et Bembe caractérisée par le façonnage sur un fond de cône à base arrondie, une technique de cuisson sur aire plane et des décors tracés au pinceau à l’aide d’une macération bridelia ferruginea.<p>Au terme de ce travail, nous avons aussi relevé plusieurs facteurs qui caractérisent l'unité culturelle des populations Kongo-Congolaises par-delà les divisions ethniques.<p>Cette thèse est présentée en deux volumes :<p>- Volume I :Synthèse et Analyse<p>- Volume II :Données des recherches (textes et illustrations)<p> / Doctorat en philosophie et lettres, Orientation histoire de l'art et archéologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Thesis (MTech (Business Administration))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2011 / Online company registration is a service, which has been claimed by Congo-Brazzaville immigrant entrepreneurs. It has taken centuries for scientists to develop computers that successfully enable businesses to grow in an effective erasure of national frontiers for business purposes. B2B e-commerce, which heralded the dawn of globalisation in the EU, USA, India, New Zealand and South Africa, is not yet applicable in Congo- Brazzaville. Presently, B2B e-commerce has made the global economy porous, which consequently activated online business registration. This porosity has enabled SMMEs to save supply chain management costs, create jobs, improve customer care and contribute to the country’s GDP. However, owing to the characteristics of Congolese immigrants’ SMMEs in Cape Town, online business registration has become imperative to enable them to expand in Congo and to save supply chain management costs and contribute to the country’s economic reconstruction process. Recently, the Centre For Business and Administrative Procedures (CFBAP): Centre des Formalités Administratives des Entreprises’ (CFE) B2B e-commerce website has become in demand. Furthermore, at a national level, e-commerce website adoption at CFBAP will leverage the country’s standards of conducting business and will boost the pride of CFBAP, as an organisation, as well as its partners in an aspect that is at the core of its values. The main objective of this study is to analyse the benefits of online business registration for Congo-Brazzaville immigrant entrepreneurs in Cape Town. The study has established motivating factors to implement an e-commerce website at CFBAP in Brazzaville, but did not recommend any specific e-commerce technology for the institution. The research has also made an earnest attempt to illicit reasons why Congo-Brazzaville immigrant entrepreneurs invest in Brazzaville in spite of being well established in Cape Town. The research target population included Congo-Brazzaville immigrant entrepreneurs who were selected from their association and who live in Cape Town, where the study was conducted. The nature of the research dictated both quantitative and qualitative methodologies in order to gain a better understanding of the research problem that was identified. Key words: E-commerce, CFE, Congo-Brazzaville, World Bank, SMMEs, immigrants, Centre for Business and Administrative Procedures (CFBAP).
