Thesis (M.Tech.: Business Administration)-Dept. of Management, Durban University of Technology, 2006
ix, 154 leaves / The challenges of the 21st century have influenced the transportation of growing cargo volumes at ports that intercept major shipping routes along the coastline of Southern Africa (McCan, 2003:32-34). In view of these challenges, rivalry between ports along the coast of Southern Africa has increased (Nevin, 1998:27-28). Empirical research focuses on the financial management,
management processes and competitive attributes at the port of Durban, South
Africa. The primary objective investigates the impact that the nature of port
administration had on the competitiveness of the port.
