M.Comm. / Health care in South Africa has been well described in terms of structure. However, to what extent would it be possible to describe the health care sector in South Africa in terms of that used to describe an industry? What conclusions could be drawn at the end of the study if this was or was not possible? Strong emphasis in industry analysis is placed on the nature of the competitive forces and on levels of profitability. Can the South African health care sector also be described in those terms? The following objectives can be identified in this study: To complete a literature review on the structure of health care in South Africa in terms of facilities, geographic location, services offered, manpower, financing, remuneration, population served and legislation. To complete a literature review on models and methods that can be used to analyse industries. To determine to what extent it is possible to apply Porter's model (and others) of industry analysis to the South African health care industry. To identify key success factors for the industry. To draw conclusions from the study and make some recommendations.
