The extent of affirmative action in the real estate industry within the Western CapePhillips, Alan Bevan January 2003 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Human Resource Management))--Cape Technikon, Cape Town, 2003 / South Africa is a country that encompasses numerous population groups
and cultures. The country has been embroiled in controversy since the
beginning of the 20th century, notably for its human rights violations and
abuse of the majority of its people; namely Blacks, Coloureds and
Indians. The ruling parties since its inception as the Union of South
Africa in 1910, until the demise of the National Party government in
1994, has ensured bias to the White minority population group. This
favouritism was brought about politically and legislatively to protect
Whites, reserve jobs and ensure segregation for the various population
groups that were considered unequal, as it favoured Whites only.
The country's first democratic elections in 1994 brought about a change
of political will that warranted appropriate action, in order to address the
imbalances of the past, for all those who were historically, previously
disadvantaged. Programmes of affirmative action were required to
redress these imbalances and provide necessary opportunities. The vast
majority of South Africans, namely Blacks, therefore needed
employment, housing and recreational facilities as previously they were
not afforded many prospects.
The researcher wanted to establish the state of the Black residential
property market in the Western Cape, including the prospects for Black
estate agents. Accordingly, an understanding of the political background
of the last century was required. In order to implement Affirmative
Action programmes in the real estate industry, a basic understanding of
Affirmative Action was essential.
The tasks and duties of estate agents had to be clarified and the position
of the real estate industry with regards to the various population groups
in the Western Cape was also deemed crucial. The researcher accordingly
designed a questionnaire in order to conduct a survey to test public
perceptions and attitudes. The researcher also concluded interviews
with executives and principals representing the real estate industry. A
focus group was utilised to discuss the results of the survey and they
provided the researcher with qualitative data. The researcher combined
this secondary qualitative data with primary quantitative data in order
to develop a model which would assist the industry and prospective
Black estate agents.
The author believes that this model would be able to substantially
benefit all the stakeholders in the real estate industry. Furthermore, the
researcher is of the opinion that if this model and the recommendations
are implemented, the residential market for the Western Cape would
evolve naturally and Black estate agents would be in demand.

Projeto sustentável: exigência para o seculo XXI. Percepção do projeto sustentável na produção imobiliária atual / Sustainable project: requirements for the 21st century. Perception of the sustainable project in the current real estate productionPatricia Helen Lima 15 December 2009 (has links)
A atuação dos arquitetos no sistema dominante do mercado imobiliário nos últimos anos é praticamente inexistente. O ritmo adotado nos processos de incorporação transformou o projeto em produto imobiliário, sem qualidade e sem identidade na cidade, respondendo apenas à taxa de retorno dos empreendimentos. Recentemente, com grandes investimentos no setor da construção e o aquecimento do mercado, o processo de desenvolvimento do produto defronta-se com as questões da sustentabilidade, tema este que tem sido amplamente explorado globalmente, e onde o setor da construção civil participa com parcela de grandes proporções no consumo de energia, geração de resíduos e emissões de carbono no planeta. O momento, portanto, passou a exigir mudanças efetivas dos agentes da construção civil, e para este estudo, fez-se uma abordagem da organização atual das empresas de projeto, construção e incorporação, da sua adaptação frente às novas exigências e das ações adotadas, elucidando as questões da sustentabilidade do edifício associadas ao projeto, que por trazerem princípios intrínsecos às características da arquitetura, representam um novo paradigma do projeto arquitetônico na produção atual e a efetiva participação do arquiteto na construção imobiliária. / The architects role in the dominant system of the real estate market in the latest years is practically non-existent. The rhythm adopted in the incorporation process transformed the Project in a real estate product without quality and identity in the city, answering only to the rate of the return on the business. Recently, with big investments in the construction sector and the heating up of the market, the product development process faces sustainability questions, a theme which has been extensively explored globally, and where the civil construction sector participates with a part of large proportions, in the consumption of energy, generating residuals and carbon dioxide emissions in the planet. The moment, therefore, moved on to requiring effective changes from the civil construction agents, and for this study, the actual organization of the project, construction and incorporation companies, their adaptation facing new requirements and actions adopted, explaining the sustainability questions of the building associated with the Project, was borded, which by bringing intrinsic principles, characteristic of the architecture, represent a new paradigm of the architectural Project, in the current production and in the effective participation of the architect in the real estate construction.

Sustaining competitive advantage through the resource based view in a commercial real estate broking companyMotaung, Ndibu Rachel 24 April 2015 (has links)
M.Com. (Business Management) / The commercial real estate broking industry is considered one of the most competitive industries globally, with research showing that it has many competitors and the ease of entry is rather easy. This research was conducted in the context of the commercial real estate broking industry in order to examine the extent of competition in the industry and to establish how one of the companies in this industry can sustain the competitive advantage. The study revealed that gaining and sustaining competitive advantage is about strengthening the resources that are not valuable, rare and imitable in the organisation as reflected in the model by Knott (2009: 166). The primary purpose of this study was to explore how JLL SA can obtain and sustain competitive advantage in the competitive commercial real estate broking environment through the Resource Based View. The research methodology applied in this study was a qualitative study, which consisted of 9 semi structured interviews from Jones Lang LaSalle South Africa (JLL SA). The criteria for the population sample was that the respondents had to have adequate experience in the commercial real estate broking industry and had a thorough knowledge of the company under review. The research highlighted a number of challenges regarding the market position of JLL SA and that the company does not have a formal rivalry strategy. From the research, it was found that strategic planning, particularly for competition happens as and when the organisation is challenged by competition. The study also reveals that JLL SA does not communicate a strategic direction for tackling competition. The main recommendations of this study is that JLL SA adopts the model suggested by Knott (2009:166) as a measure to gain and sustain competitive advantage. The model refers to the valuable, rarity and inimitability of resources through, in which JLL SA can selects attributes or resources to evaluate in order to sustain competitive commercial real estate broking industry is considered one of the most competitive industries globally, with research showing that it has many competitors and the ease of entry is rather easy.

Professionalism, self-regulation, and the problem of dual agency : the residential real estate industry in British ColumbiaGee, Karen 11 1900 (has links)
This paper contributes to the discussion about reforming the legislation governing real
estate marketing in British Columbia. In March 2003, the government announced its proposals
to amend the existing Real Estate Act with the objective of protecting the public and preserving
its confidence in the real estate sector by providing a "least cost" regime, promoting competition
among participants, and providing a flexible, accountable regulatory framework. Interested
parties were invited to comment on a proposed direction for reform.
A recent public opinion survey conducted by the British Columbia Real Estate
Association indicated significant concern about realtors acting for both a purchaser and a vendor
of the same property. Those with concerns feared possible conflicts of interest between realtors
and their clients. Despite these results, the real estate industry did not address these concerns.
Instead, the industry endorsed dual agency - the practice of acting for both a purchaser and a
vendor in a single transaction - and claimed that to ensure professionalism for realtors, the
industry had to be self-regulating. In May 2004, the government passed the Real Estate Services
Act granting self-regulation to the industry.
This paper questions the appropriateness of the government's grant of self-regulation to
the industry. It reviews the literature on professionalism and the conditions under which it is
appropriate to grant self-regulation to an occupational group. It discusses how the real estate
industry has attempted to gain recognition as a profession and the problems that the practice of
dual agency poses to consumers i f the industry is to be self-regulating. This paper concludes
that the paramount purpose of occupational regulation should be to protect the public from harm,
not to benefit or to reward practitioners. Self-regulation should only be granted to an
occupational group with a genuine and demonstrated willingness to act in the public interest.
Recommendations are offered to the government to reconsider its actions and to consider
abolishing the practice of dual agency and adopting reforms that favour consumer interests in
residential real estate transactions. / Law, Peter A. Allard School of / Graduate
