Many forums have been recently organised in South Africa to discuss the level of State intervention in the minerals sector, the expropriation of private mining companies, and the transfer of mineral wealth to the people. The objective of this research was to explore the possible impact that the nationalisation and the introduction of a resource rent tax will have on the capability of platinum mining companies to create sustainable employment while remaining profitable in South Africa.The research was qualitative and exploratory in nature. The sampling frame included major platinum group metals companies, which constitute an industry concentration of more than 50 per cent. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 senior managers and executives from the platinum mining industry.The results have shown that nationalisation of platinum mines, where the government has total ownership or majority control of the company, will not create sustainable employment in South Africa. In addition, nationalisation of mines will isolate South Africa from external capital because private investors have been reluctant to put their money where mining companies were nationalised, especially in Africa. Although the introduction of a resource rent tax may be viable in a short term, it is believed that the competitiveness of mining companies operating in South Africa will be compromised. / Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2012. / Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) / unrestricted

In recent years, along with the soaring housing price level, housing problem in China turned out to be in the spotlight more than ever before. With the high housing price, low and moderate-income families find itvery difficult for them to buy their own dwelling. In order to meet the needs of low and moderate-income families and lessen the overheating, Chinese government carried out some plans, one among which was the Public Rental Housing program. Public Rental Housings mostly serve for low and moderate-income family to live, with a lower rent than market rent on the same condition. And there are other limits or drawbacks such as monitoring and housing register problem. Details of the limits differ from city to city. In this thesis, public renal housing project in Chong Qing, the first city implemented public rental housing to a great extent in China will be studied. Market analysis on both demand side and supply side is carried out to examine the influence on residential market and whether public rental housing can ease the overheating in residential market. A questionnaire is used to study public acknowledgement and satisfaction with public rental housing projects in Beijing (for convenience). The finding is: current public rental housing can ease the market but this policy requires better financing resource, subsidy policy to backup, monitor system and more involvement of society resources.

<P> This dissertation provides an investigation into the confluence of three basic themes; geography, land values, and municipal taxation. This research examines the role of geography as it applies to addressing the inherent structural problems of the municipal property tax system, which result in inequities in municipal tax burdens. These structural problems are caused, in part, because traditional specifications of mass appraisal models are unable to sufficiently incorporate the impact of geography and because the property tax system is based more heavily on the value of capital improvements, such as buildings, than the value of land. Convincing evidence suggests a municipal taxation system based more heavily on the value of land could help mitigate many negative consequences of the property tax; thus, this research examines a spatial paradigm for the estimation of urban land values in order to study the short-run implications of transitioning to a land value tax system. </p> <P> After reviewing geography's contribution to the professional practice of real estate appraisal, this dissertation describes a spatial decision support system (SDSS) that was used to extract and validate sales of vacant land from the population of real estate transactions that occurred in Hamilton, Ontario between 1995 and 2004. Vacant land transaction prices were used to explore the spatial dynamics of land price appreciation and depreciation rates, investigate the potential for spatial models to improve the accuracy and fairness of mass appraisal, and to simulate the spatial distribution of shifting tax liabilities for residential land uses under the property tax and land value tax systems in order to examine their relationship to area-based deprivation indices. Results suggest there remains much potential for geography to make significant contributions to assessment practice, municipal taxation, and urban planning. Furthermore, there is much potential for land value taxation to contribute to equitable and sustainable cities. </p> / Thesis / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

RENT: A Director's Process describes the process a director undergoes in the creation of a piece of theater. It uses as its example Temple Theaters' 2010 production of RENT, and it examines how an MFA thesis production encapsulates the material garnered over three years' intensive study in a conservatory setting of the art and craft of directing. It explores the methodologies behind the pre-production process, including concept, approach, design, and casting, and continues into the production process, including rehearsal and performance. This thesis suggests a method of directing that is based on a formal approach, and shows this method to be as applicable to populist styles, such as musical theater, as it is to more experimental forms. / Theater

Master of Agribusiness / Department of Agricultural Economics / Bob Burton / The purpose of this thesis is to compare the net income and risk associated with custom farming, cash rent, and crop-share. This analysis will help provide insight on the best option for my 40 acres of farm land, which I recently was given from my mother. The 40 acres is located in Codington County, SD and has been previously in a corn, soybean, and wheat rotation. Another goal of the thesis is to create a business plan for Hauger Farm, which will lay out the activities involved for custom farming. The 40 acres will continue to be in a corn, soybean, and wheat rotation. A 12-year analysis was developed to determine the net income and risk associated with custom farming, cash rent, and crop-share. The analysis consisted of historical data from the past nine years while predicting the next three years. After creating the net income statement, the option providing the most income over the long-run was to have the land custom farmed. Custom farming also brought the most income variability or risk; while cash rent showed to have the lowest risk with the least variable income.

<p>Aim: The purpose of this study is to increase the knowledge around the location’s importance when rent setting office premises. Furthermore, I want to get broader knowledge about the real estate market as a whole when since it is of current interest.</p><p>Method: The study is performed with the aid of qualitative interviews on persons with experience of office premises in Stockholm city. Theoretical dates mainly have been gathered via literature and the Internet. Then I have put together the interviews in order so that I finally can analyze empiric with theory.</p><p>Result & conclusions: The results that have been achieved with this essay are how the concept location has been used within the real estate sector, also how important long-term thinking is when letting of premises, not only office premises.</p><p>Suggestions for future research: Future studies can increase my study with more interviews, with for example real-estate owners. It was unfortunately no real-estate owners that wanted line up for an interview in my essay. The other proposal is about studying differences between having a company and a home association as a landlord, with starting point from a tenant’s eyes. The proposal is based on my own ambition to find out the truth.</p><p>Contributions of the thesis: This essay has contributed with new knowledge by considering and using the concept’s actual meaning is used. According to the dictionary location is a word that describes in what way something is placed with respect to it environments. Location is therefore relative and should be used thereafter. Not like today when the expression is used unmoved of its proper importance. This is my study's contributions.</p> / <p>Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att öka kunskapen kring lägets betydelse vid hyressättning av kontorslokaler. Vidare vill jag få bredare kunskap om fastighetsmarknaden i sin helhet då detta känns aktuellt i tiden.</p><p>Metod: Studien är utförd med hjälp av kvalitativa intervjuer på personer med erfarenhet av kontorslokaler i Stockholms innerstad. Teoretiska data har främst samlats in via litteratur och Internet. Sedan har jag sammanställt intervjuerna för att avslutningsvis kunna analysera empiri med teori.</p><p>Resultat & slutsats: Det resultat som har åstadkommits med denna uppsats är främst en bild av hur begreppet läge har kommit att användas inom fastighetsbranschen samt hur viktigt långsiktigt tänkande är vid uthyrning av lokaler, inte bara kontorslokaler.</p><p>Förslag till fortsatt forskning: I kommande studier kan man utöka den studie jag redan gjort med hjälp av fler intervjuer, exempelvis med fastighetsägare. Det var tyvärr inga fastighetsägare som ville ställa upp på intervju i min uppsats. Mitt andra förslag handlar om att studera skillnader för en hyresgäst av att ha ett företag respektive en bostadsrättsförening som hyresvärd. Detta förslag bygger på min egen strävan av att få veta hur det ligger till.</p><p>Uppsatsens bidrag: Den här uppsatsen har bidragit till ny kunskap genom att man ska betrakta och använda begreppet läge på ett annat sätt. Inte ett nytt sätt, utan det sätt som begreppet verkligen innebär, det vill säga att läge är ett ord som beskriver på vilket sätt något är placerat med hänsyn till omgivningar enligt ordboken. Läge är alltså relativt och borde användas därefter. Inte som det har blivit i dagens läge där uttrycket används oberört av dess egentliga betydelse. Detta är min studies bidrag.</p>
