Its creativity helps it to conquer obstacles and obtain sustained competitiveness for survival. The factors and circumstances of operating a business are variable. The management should treasure any creativity or new ideas that will improve the organization. The creativity and new ideas may cover the fields of strategy management, leadership management, technological research, organization restructure, marketing and operation control. These are the basis to improve the performance of a business. This research focused on the real cases of the 6 subsidiaries of China Steel Corporation, including the businesses of shipping, venture capital, steel trading, security surveillance, recreational, real estate, information management and services. The analysis of this research, through in-depth interview on key issues, studied how the companies applied their industrial advantages to create their innovative management ability. This research not only analyzes the relationship of creativity with "business characters", "industry environment", and "mission strategy", but also analyzes the business competitiveness which is created by the management renovation. Hope the suggestions concluded by these analyses would provide some helps to the studied business and the follow-up researchers.

My diploma thesis is formed through applying theoretical and practical knowledge in creation of a feasibility study.

This thesis is devoted to small business strategy. In the theoretical section all the important parts of the strategic cycle are gradually summarized. The practical section is closely linked with the theoretical one and gradually applies the theoretical knowledge from the first part to the specific example of a small business. After determining the vision and the mission a detailed internal and external analysis is described for small business. Than particular models are being applied on the specific case in order to determine the strategies for the chosen company. Based on the information gathered, the thesis deals with the evaluation of strategies, their selection and design of their implementation in practice. These three essential procedures are set out as a goal of this thesis. In the end, we get to evaluate the strategy chosen according to various criteria, its proposal to introduce into practice and recommendations for future action by the company as well as their justification.

This thesis addresses a needed shift of paradigm for mission and evangelism within the Southern Baptist Convention. The current model lacks appropriate contextualization in a postmodern world. The proposition of the thesis is that a kingdom model for mission and evangelism is more appropriate for Southern Baptists' commitment to mission. The methodology of this thesis was researching primary and secondary sources, interviews with persons currently involved within the mission of Southern Baptists, evaluation of empirical data, and testing of concepts. In Chapter One, the validity of this thesis is presented with the proposition, the limitations, the purpose, the practical nature, and the modus operandi of the thesis stated. Chapter Two explores the problems of evangelism within the mission of Southern Baptists today. Focus is on empirical statistical evidence and the failure of assumptions, methods, and models currently in practice. Chapter Three examines the birth of the mission and evangelism mandate of Southern Baptists and the subsequent development of a monolithic structure unchanged to the present day. Chapter Four traces the evolution of evangelistic witness within the early church and explores the cultural dynamics of the period. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / D. Th.

This thesis proposes that the ministry of Dr Beyers Naudé to the victims of oppression during the apartheid rule in South Africa had a missionary dimension. It argues that the credibility of the Christian faith was challenged by the victims of oppression, as a result of the way in which it was used as a supportive tool for oppression. Through his ministry, Beyers Naudé succeeded in communicating the Christian faith in a special way to the victims of oppression. This led to a change of mind for the victims of oppression with regard to their negative attitude to the Christian faith. This study further resulted in the development of a comprehensive mission (communication) strategy to the victims of oppression. The argument is that there is another form of post-1994 victims of oppression in South Africa made out of those who feel left out by government poverty alleviation, economic development and service delivery programmes. The inability of government to strike a balance between the rich and the poor as well as corruption will always yield the ‘disadvantaged’ section of society who may feel ‘oppressed’, neglected and left out in favour of the few who have ‘connections’ at higher levels of government. These victims’ response will be characterized by anger which results into protest actions similar to those seen during the time of the ministry of Beyers Naudé. The question posed in this study is ‘how to minister to angry people who feel left out by government?’ In order to respond to this challenge and to equip ministers of religion and other interested people, a comprehensive mission (communication) strategy to victims of oppression was therefore developed based on the example of Beyers Naudé. The main question posed in this study around the reason for the success of Beyers Naudé’s ministry is “what ‘muthi’ did he use to win the hearts, love and support of the victims of oppression?” In order to answer this question, there is a three step approach that has been followed. Firstly I looked at factors that made him or influenced his making i.e. his life from his birth to his ‘conversion’, South African political landscape divided into two periods (1940-1963 and 1963-1994) as well as Faith Based Organisations’ response to apartheid. Secondly, I looked at his actual ministry to the victims of oppression from 1963 to 1994. I divided his ministry between the categories of centripetal and centrifugal patterns of mission. Thirdly a comprehensive mission (communication) strategy to the victims of oppression was developed, based on his contribution to a positive Christian witness. In the concluding chapter, I made some proposals for a way-forward in terms of areas for further study which were triggered by this research. The best statement for concluding this study, indicating the commitment of Beyers Naudé for God’s mission and how this was misunderstood by his church (the DRC) was taken from Mokgoebo (2009) who states: Beyers Naudé was a prophet of his time. As the saying goes, ‘the prophet is never respected at his own home’. His witness will remain long after we have gone, as a White man who was grasped by the powerful message of the Kingdom of God, of justice and reconciliation. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Science of Religion and Missiology / unrestricted
