The success of an organisation is inherent upon the ability to correctly identify the problems and to avoid being distracted by the symptoms. The pursuit of success demands the necessity of planning, which if only internal, is in itself insufficient. The organisation needs to adapt and pursue a dynamic strategic policy, taking into account the environment in which it operates. Every organisation has a unique organisational culture. Each has its own business philosophy and principles. Its own ways of approaching problems and making decisions, its own embedded patterns of how to turn things around, its own folklore, its own taboos and political do's and don'ts - in other words, its own ingrained beliefs, behaviour and thought patterns, business practices, and personality. This dissertation will entail an evaluation of the organisations revenue division and proposes recommendations for the future. The analysis commences with an evaluation of the current structure, systems and processes, which then sets the foreground for a sharply focused analysis of future strategy to improve revenue. The benefit of this approach is that available resources are matched to a strategy, whilst identifying future resources needed for transformation. The analysis includes recommendations as to how The Msunduzi Municipality can continue to grow and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage through carefully crafted strategies that will lead it into a financial status of long-term sustainability. / Thesis (MBA)-University of Natal, Durban, 2003.
