<p.South Africa lacks an efficient regulatory environment that promotes business rescue. The fact that the introduction of a regulatory environment with modern business rescue principles will be a step forward in making South Africa more competitive and bringing it in line with the modern global economy makes the topic pertinent from both a political and business perspective.At the core of the current discourse regarding business rescue is a fundamental shift in the approach to insolvency, namely that a debtor-friendly approach will encourage early intervention in the affairs of a distressed company. Initiating a state of business rescue without a court order and entering into a moratorium with the resulting impact on the rights of creditors introduces a move towards a debtor-friendly approach. This move in turn presents the problem: What form should the local regulatory environment pertaining to entering a state of business rescue and the automatic take? This report examined international practices and local developments, and includes local research. It puts forward a proposal as to what the minimum requirements for initiating a state of business rescue and the moratorium in a new regulatory environment should be. A summary of the status quo in South Africa, with recommendations, is also presented. It also identifies areas for further research. / Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2010. / Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) / unrestricted

This study attempted to explore how nonprofit and government organizations conceptualize disaster response effectiveness using an internet survey. Unfortunately, the data collected through this method was insufficient for meaningful data analysis, and, therefore this study was unable to generate significant findings with respect to its research question. Thus, rather than focusing on a presentation of results from data collection and interpreting the significance of those results, this thesis focuses on justification of the need for research on this topic, review of the literature that suggests it is likely that nonprofits and government perceive disaster response effectiveness differently, recounting of the initial data collection efforts undertaken and the problems encountered, offering of hypotheses for future testing based on analysis of the flawed data, and recommendation of an alternate data collection method that should be used in the future.
