Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Over the past few years considerable debate has taken place regarding the role of
Local lndustrial Parks (LIPs) in stimulating the growth and development of Small,
Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) in South Africa.
LIPs are normally established to achieve specific development objectives, namely, job
creation, sector specific support, entrepreneurship/small business promotion and the
provision of affordable workspace. Through interviews with centre managersof each of
the LIPs located in the Western Cape Province, and the collection of other relevant
information, this document appraises the performance of UPs against those criteria.
The author further postulates that the term UP has evolved from a variety of other
"period-names" for facilities that provide accommodation/business premises to
SMMEs, and has become the current term for defining such facilities.
Given the high demand for appropriately priced business premises for SMMEs, and the
decision by the Cape Metropolitan Council to actively promote the establishment of
UPs as a core activity in its local economic development strategy, this document
recommends what services should be provided by UPs to ensure that the services
offered represent value for money, and achieve the desired goals of an UP programme. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die afgelope paar jaar is daar hewig gedebateer oor die rol wat Plaasklike Industriële
Parke (PIP) in die stimulering van ontwikkeling en groei van Klein-, Medium- en Mikro-
Besighede (KMMB) in Suid Afrika speel.
PIP's word normaalweg ontwikkel om spesifieke mikpunte te behaal, naamlik
werksskepping, sektor-spesifieke ondersteuning, entrepreneurship/kleinbesigheids
promosie en verskaffing van bekostigbare werksareas.
Deur 'n proses van onderhoude met sentrum bestuurders van elk van die PIPs geleë in
die Wes-Kaap Provinsie, en die versameling van ander tersaaklike inligting, meet
hierdie dokument die sukses van PIP's in die lig van bogenoemde kriteria. Die outeur
postuleer verder dat die term PIP 'n uitvloeisel van ander "periode-name" van fasiliteite
wat werksareas en besigheids persele aan KMMB's verskaf het, is en dat dit die
huidige term is om na sulke fasiliteite te verwys.
Met die hoë vraag na besigheidspersele vir KMMB's teen 'n redelike tarief, en die
besluit deur die Kaapse Metropolitaanse Raad om PIP's aktief te bevorder as 'n sleutel
aktiwiteit in die plaaslike ekonomiese ontwikkeling strategie, meld hierdie dokument
aanbevelings in terme van dienste wat deur PIP's verskaf behoort te word om te
verseker dat hierdie dienste waarde vir geld verteenwoordig, en die beoogte mikpunte
van die PIP bereik.
