Thesis (M.Com. (Bussiness Managemet)) -- University of Limpopo, 2020 / SMEs play an important role in the economy as they contribute to job creation, poverty alleviation, innovation, economic growth and development. However, they tend to fail due to business challenges such as poor performance. One of the solutions to business failure is entrepreneurs’ level of self-efficacy towards normal and challenging business activities, which consequently leads to sustainable performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and sustainable performance. A quantitative method was used and self-administered questionnaires were distributed for the purpose of data collection. The questionnaire covered three sections which are made of demographic information, entrepreneurial self-efficacy measures and sustainable performance. This study used non probability sampling where convenience sampling and snowball sampling methods were used to select the sample. Convenience and snowball sampling were used because a sample frame of SMEs in the study area does not exist. 320 questionnaires were issued to SME owners in Polokwane Municipality, Limpopo Province. A total of 180 questionnaires were returned. Descriptive statistics was undertaken to evaluate respondents against ESE and sustainable performance. The Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) software was used to analyse collected information for confirmation of accuracy and reliability of results. ANOVA and T-test samples were used to determine the significant difference between ESE and sustainable performance according to owners’ demographic characteristics. Correlation and regression were used to determine the relationship between ESE and sustainable performance. The Cronbach’s alpha was applied to measure reliability. Findings of the study revealed that ESE positively impacts the sustainable performance of SMEs. Recommendations were made for improvement on ESE and sustainable performance of SMEs.

Magister Economicae - MEcon / In this mini-thesis, I explore what impact a particular project in Indonesia on strengthening micro, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) has on economic development. I argue, firstly that the project makes a positive contribution to development and secondly that an approach which combines training programs and technical assistance with credit makes a greater contribution than training programs and technical assistance alone. I use the view that SMEs are very important for development as the basis of my argumentation. In spite of this, there is a lack of support for SMEs from the Indonesian government. This gap of support for SMEs was and is partially filled by non governmental organizations (NGOs). The NGOs support SMEs in dealing with problems such as the lack of working capital as well as the lack of knowledge about production, marketing, and management. I focused my field study on the USC-Satunama project. USC-Satunama is a non-governmental organization which works (amongst other activities) to strengthen SMEs. Its activities include the provision of training programs and technical assistance to improve the human capital of the entrepreneurs as well as providing credit. Training programs and technical assistance are provided to all the beneficiaries of the project. However, not all beneficiaries are provided with a credit facility. Therefore, the respective impact of the two different types of support, (i)' a combination of training programs and technical assistance with credit and (ii) training programs and technical assistance alone, can be explored. I use the improved welfare of the entrepreneurs indicated by the increase of their profits as yardstick to ascertain the impact of the project on development. The result of the field study is: the approach of the USC-Satunama project, according to which a training program and technical assistance are combined with credit, indeed makes a significant and positive contribution to the welfare of the entrepreneurs and thus it contributes to the development of Indonesia.

Web development is receiving increasing attention among all kinds and sizes of companies. Web presentation has become a hygiene factor for companies nowadays. Fortunately, nowadays web developers can choose from a great number of ready-made technologies instead of developing everything from scratch. However, web development technologies have evolved much in the past 20 years. Due to the increased complexity and diversity of the alternatives, it is getting more and more difficult for companies to make an overall good choice of technologies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that usually do not have resources to make a thorough research before choosing. This thesis creates WeTS - Web Technology Stack Guidelines, which contains three parts: process, algorithm and software quality characteristics. By following WeTS, inexperienced web developers, especially in SMEs, can select web technology stacks in an optimal way. Meanwhile, WeTS could be used for experienced practitioners and researchers as a reference to have an overview about modern web development technologies. Based on WeTS Guidelines, this thesis evaluated a number of technology stacks. Then a case study was performed with a startup company named Sqore. By comparing WeTS with Sqore’s technology selection process step by step, this thesis evaluated WeTS Guidelines.
