Abstract
M.Comm.
The face of the modern organisation has changed. We are truly entering a global
economy. This is evident from the mobility of the workforces in the South African
organisation.
In the course of this study, theory is directed to ensure that information within the
organisation is preserved. The aim is to investigate the concept of mentorship
and how it can be utilised to ensure that information is retained by the
organisation.
Finally, in having formed the holistic view of mentorship and the structure of a
formal mentorship programme, the implementation of such a programme is
discussed. Recommendations will then be put forward on how management
should go about in implementing such a mentorship programme to ensure that it
is to the benefit of the organisation.
