- Description: M.A. (Communication) , The study comprises the testing and application of the theory of Peters (1972) as framework for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of film content. A survey of literature in the field C film content showed a lack of research on the film as semiological structure. This could be attributed to some amount of disagreement amoung researchers on the specific characteristics of film code or language. Existing theories overarticulated either technical or aesthetical aspects of film. The theory of Peters (1972) was used as framework for content analysis because it incorporates both technical and aesthetical aspects of film. Two empirical studies were conducted. in the first study the validity of Peters' theory was tested. The study was completed in three stages: (a) The compilation of a 30-item fimcriticism questionnaire. (b) The rating of two films by two groups of subjects on the mentioned questionnaire. (c) Factor analyses on the ratings of the two films. Results showed a high degree of similarity between the different factors and Peters' theoretical segments of the film. In the second study the theory of Peters (1972) was applied as framework for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of a sample of South African films. Results confirmed Peters' theory as being sufficiently comprehensive for the measurement of both technical and aesthetical aspects of film.

- Description: M.Com. (Business Management) , Communication is the focal point of the enterprise. It is central to the control and survival of organisations, and is a prerequisite to effective management. Consequently it can be stated that communication pervades'the total managerial process, integrating the managerial functions and linking the enterprise with its environment. The present study set out to define the concept of communication and to develop a theoretically sound model of organisational communication with the objective of providing a frame of reference for future research. A literature survey was conducted during which the concept of communication was traced from its semantic origins through to contemporary interpretations thereof. A subject as complex as communication is best approached through an in-depth, comprehensive observation from different angles and varying perspectives. The variables in the communication process were discussed, utilising communication models as a theoretical framework. In addition, the role of perception in communication was reviewed. Communication variants and the concepts of enterprise, organisational environment. organisational communication structure. formal and informal communication channels were discussed. This review and subsequent analysis served as the theoretical foundation for conceiving a model of organisational communication. The components of organisational communication are presented in a model of organisational communication. The framework of organisational communication advanced in this model is multidimensional; it presents the concept of communication not as an isolated phenomenon or a singular, purely idealised process, but as interrelated constituent processes that operate at varying levels of complexity. Finally, a comment is made on the actuality of the organisational communication model and a multitude of research opportunities are indicated.

- Description: LL.M. (Commercial law) , This dissertation seeks to explore the fundamental differences between the rights of employees in terms of windiqg-up procedures and that of business rescue proceedings. I will be specifically looking at each procedure, winding-up and business rescue proceedings, and the effect that each of these procedures have on the rights of employees. In terms of the analysis of the procedures, I will be looking at the history of both insolvency law and labour law, as well as a look at the old Companies Act of 1973 and specifically at judicial management. By looking at the history we can gain an outlook on the problems we encountered then and how they can be improved today. I will then move on to look specifically at the specific proceedings of winding-up in Chapter 14 of the old 1973 Act and Chapter 6 of the new 2008 for the provisions on business rescue. Through analysing the proceedings I will also look at the legal position in other jurisdictions on the specific matter into account. Specifically I will look to the UK and Australia. Additionally, I will be looking at the International Labour Organisations position on employees' rights in terms of insolvency law. The specific rights of employees that I will be considering are employees rights to commence proceedings, their right to be informed, their right to be consulted, the effect on their employment contracts, retrenchments, claims which they may have against the company as well as the specific rights of employees in the case of a transfer of the business. In analysing all of the above aspects, I will come to conclude from my findings that the rights afforded to employees under business rescue and Chapter 6 of the 2008 Act are extremely beneficial to the employees and are so extensive that they cover almost all rights of employees. In comparison with the rights afforded to employees' in terms of winding-up procedures under Chapter 14 of the 1973 Act these rights are stiII beneficial to employees but they are not as extensive. Both procedures afford employees a significant amount of protection.

Aanpassings deur Yuri Vladimirovich Andropov in die USSR voor en tydens sy bewind as Sekretaris-Generaal, 1982-1984

- Description: M.A. (History) , In 1985 the world took renewed interest in the Soviet Union with the ascendency of its dynamic new leader Mikhail Gorbachev. His policies of glasnost and perestroika made an unprecedented impact within the Soviet Union and the Western world. As a result of all the attention Gorbachev's restructuring received, and the subsequent drama and disintegration of the Yeltsin "take-over", interest in the two leaders who preceded Gorbachev, i.e. Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko, waned considerably. Andropov and Chernenko, together with Brezhnev, were often perceived as a trio of ineffectual old men, endeavouring to keep together a tottering Soviet system. While this perception may be appropriate to Brezhnev in the latter decade of his rule, and to a lesser extent to Chernenko, it is not a justified evaluation of Yuri Andropov's leadership. While he came from the same dispensation and was a contemporary of theirs, he set out with determination and dedication to bring new life into the fossilized system he inherited from Brezhnev. Andropov was a highly intelligent and competent person who had a long and varied political career behind him when he became Secretary General. He had been a member of the CPSU for more than four decades and during this time he served as Komosomol leader, Ambassador, Secretary, Chief Ideologist and headed the KGB for 15 years. In each of these capacities he strived for excellence and conducted himself with integrity. (Dissidents who had dealings with him during his period in the KGB may be of a different opinion, however.) When Andropov took over from Brezhnev, the Soviet system did not correspond to his ideals of Socialism. Over the decades and especially during the last stagnant years of Brezhnev's rule, corruption had become rife in the Soviet Union and it appeared to be entrenched in every aspect of Soviet life. The situation was aggravated by the gigantic bureaucracy which was not in favour of change as it was well-entrenched and elitist. Resistance to change had had a paralyzing effect on all previous endeavours. However daunting the task seemed to be, Andropov set about fighting corruption on every level. Corruption went against the grain of his puritan personality and even more importantly, against his perception of the ideal Socialist system. It was often alleged that Andropov's anti-corruption campaign was merely a mechanism with which to eliminate opponents and attain power. There is some truth in this, but it was not his primary reason for trying to eradicate corruption. He did achieve power through eliminating corrupt officials, but even when he had reached the ultimate position, a sound administration remained a priority for him. Indeed, the fact that he was not selective in this process reflects his determination in this regard. Even very high officials, persons within the Kremlin and members of the Brezhnev family itself were not spared. He not only fought corruption but strived to upgrade social, and labour discipline in the Soviet system. A strict disciplinarian himself, he saw many of the negative aspects within the system reflected in the lives and attitudes of the Soviet citizens. This led him to try to install discipline as a way of life and he stressed a high work ethic. However,Andropov must not be perceived one-dimensionally as the ex-KGB chief using police methods on a civilian population. His chief priority in his internal policy was to rectify and improve the declining Soviet economy. The gross corruption that existed had a negative effect on the economy, so eradicating corruption was a prerequisite for economic recovery. As a staunch Marxist-Leninist, he believed that any economic reforms had to be brought about within the strict framework of Socialist principles. He never queried the validity or superiority of the Socialist system and he ascribed the economic ills not to the system itself but to the way it was functioning. He never deviated from Socialist principles and indeed repeatedly warned against the dangers of bringing about changes alien to the nature of Socialism. He was in favour of the centrally planned system but not of the rigidity and corruption that had become part of it. His ideal was for greater flexibility and greater participation with more input from worker, manager and minister. He believed each individual should take full responsibility for the aspect of production or service he was involved in. Only if the total creative force of the masses could be released could the system function as it was originally intended to. The pillars on which this could be achieved were greater democratization and decentralization.

- Description: M.Com. (Industrial Pyschology) , The critical labour situation in South Africa makes industrial peace absolutely vital. In addition, industrial peace creates a healthy climate, both for productivity in companies and the economic progress of a country. The South African economy has, since the twenties, been oppressed by industrial unrest. The strikes of 1920 and the Soweto unrest of 1976 are good examples of this. In spite of these critical situations, a very narrow—minded view of industrial relations prevails. The only factors which, to date, have received any real attention are political/ legislative or economic in nature. In addition, these factors cannot be manipulated by the majority of people in any organisation or in the country — they are factors which are handled by top management or the Government. The levels of management most in contact with workers on the floor, are therefore not represented in the framework for improvement of industrial relations. The objective of this research is to build a more comprehensive framework for the improvement of industrial relations. Intensive study has highlighted the fact that three behavioural skills, namely empathy, flexibility and judgement appear to have a considerable influence on the relations between manager and worker. These behavioural skills are manifested in communication in the management process and in the following key behavioural areas: (a) Listen and react consistently and fairly. (b) Continuous feedback: Follow—up date and action. Constructive criticism. Maintain or build self esteem. (c) Encourage the subordinate to participate in situations with which he is familiar and which affect him. the subordinate in unfamiliar situations. Inform the subordinate about situations which affect him. With the use of a questionnaire, it was established that these key behavioural areas and communication between workers in all racial groups are seen to be significantly more important in relationships between manegement and worker. It was also found that management training in planfling, organisation, control, leadership and communication, based on the behavioural skills and key behavioural areas, had a very positive effect on all the key behavioural areas and communication. Although this effect was seen by the total group to be considerable, in the case of two individual racial groups, i.e. Whites and Asians, it was not considered to be significant. This tendency is, however, explained by the time Epread of the training in the company where this research was carried out. Generally, therefore, it appears that scientific management practices, namely behavioural skills and key behavioural areas, have a considerable influence on industrial relations and that management training has a significant contribution to make to its improvement.

- Description: LL.M. (Law) , The position with regard to a number of fairly small result of the proximity of these islands to the coast of South West Africa and the fact that the latter is also entitled to lay claim to maritime zones, the potential for overlapping claims to such zones clearly exists. Consequently a solution is proposed to delimit these zones equitably. It amounts in short to awarding an enclave jurisdictional zone of 12 nautical miles to each of these islands, delimited in accordance with the equidistant principle. It is conceded, however, that in the final instance, the eventual delimitation of all these maritime zones depends on agrertent between the two parties concerned. islands off the coast of South West Africa/Nar'ibia, generally known as the Penguin Islands, their status as well as the maritime zones they may generate, are examined in this study. With the emphasis on the 1958 Geneva Conventions and the 1982 Law of the Sea Convention the endeavours to codify the rules of the Law of the Sea are set out as the backdrop against which the rules applicable to the position of these islands are to be discovered. The various definitions of islands in these codifications are identified and the elements of the definition in the 1982 Convention as well as some of the elements proposed by a number of delegations to the United Nations Law of the Sea Conference, are examined in detail. An investigation into the applicable conventional provisions and state practice, prove that in principle islands, just like mainland areas, are capable of generating territorial waters, a contiguous zone, an economic or fishing zone as w all as a continental shelf. In terms of the 1982 Convention so-called rocks do not qualify to generate areas of jurisdiction to the same extent as islands. The effect of islands on the delimitation of maritime zones between adjacent and opposite states is examined with a view to finding principles which could by analogy be applied to the delimitation of the maritime zones generated by the Penguin Islands and the mainland of South West Africa. In the case of territorial waters, it is initially left to the parties concerned to come to an agreement. Failing such agreement the equidistant principle applies unless a historic title or special circuitstances requires an alternative solution. In a number of instances the solution eventually arrived at amounted to awarding enclave maritime zones to islands and delimiting such zones against that of the opposite state by way of the equidistant principle. In the case of the delimitation of the continental shelf state practice revealed that, depending on their relative geographical location in relation to their own and opposite states, islands are accorded full or limited weight in delimiting the continental shelf between the mainland states concerned. Corresponding principles are applied in the delimitation of economic or fishery zones. South Africa's claims to territorial sovereignty over the Penguin Islands have been repeatedly questioned but the records show that these claims can he indisputably substantiated. Compliance with the definition of an island is of the utmost importance in ascertaining whether an insular formation is entitled to generate any specific maritime zone and, therefore, a description of each of these islands is provided. As a result of the proximity of these islands to the coast of South West Africa and the fact that the latter is also entitled to lay claim to aritime zones, the potential for overlapping claims to such zones clearly exists.

- Description: M.A. (Economics) , Any political objective is limited by economic factors and dependant on the efficient administration of the state. Political and military objectives are of prime importance where a country is on a war footing but even here, strategic planning and programming are dependant on economic factors. It can therefore be said that a country's chances of survival during war is primarily dependent on the flexibility and sophistication of its economic system. An attempt is made in this study to determine the adapta bility and flexibility of the economical system of S.A. and thereby determining the economic survival potential of S.A. if she were placed on a war footing. Apart from the fact that South Africa is already experiencing a war economy (functionally), there are several factors that can expand this war economy situation (a full scale insurgent struggle or a total conventional war) such as the East-West conflict, North-South conflict in Africa, the greater hold of the oil magnates on the world economy and the tendencies of political instability in the third and fourth world. This study consists of two parts, the first, laying the foundation for the discussion which is continued in the second. Part one evaluates the present economic potential of S.A. with respect to the four basic production factors (labour, capital, resources and entrepreneurship) and also determine to what extent the S.A. economy is dependant on international trade. An attempt is also made to determine the effectiveness of economic politics in S.A. and highlights the advantages of the free market mechanism over a "controlled" economy. Part two covers the survival potential of S.A., should she find herself on a war footing. The discussion in part one is used as a basis to determine the adaptability of the economic system as regard to efficient utilisation of production factors under a different set of economic objectives, which would serve both the war effort and also maintam n an acceptable level of prosperity. With respect to war economy a distinction is made among sanctions on war material imports, anti-insurgent warfare and total conventional warfare. It must be noted at the outset that it is impossible to determine accurately the survival potential of S.A. as it is, dependent on the intensity of the struggle. This study however does try to determine what is to be done to put S.A. in the best possible position to survive any onslaught. According to the study it would appear that sufficient capital, labour and raw material are available, but problems could occur as a result of the shortage of skilled labour. Foreign and domestic investments, agriculture and mining as well as the initiative of entrepreneurs could also be affected in a war economy. From a national security viewpoint, it is important that S.A. maintains a prosperous socio-economic system during peacetime, but, also to be prepared to support efficiently the war effort if needed and still to satisfy particular and collective needs as far as possible. This forms the basis of the study.

- Description: Ph.D. (Didactics) , This study deals with the problems encountered in the teaching of history in black secondary schools . Amongst others it refers to the poor performance in examinations, and the general apathy of pupils towards the subject . It is proposed that empathy should be an integral part of history teaching - from a teaching strategy to evaluation. The study consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 serves as introduction and states the problems and subsequent methodology of the research. Chapter 2 further analyses the reality of history teaching in black secondary schools. Attention is specifically given to how history is taught and textbooks are analysed from an empathic perspective. Chapter 3 contains an exposition and analysis of the concept "empathy". An attempt is made to establish whether an empathic -approach· is feasible in South Africa. Chapter 4 considers the thorny issue of the evaluation of empathy and seeks to integrate the divergent standpoints on evaluation into a theoretical model. In Chapter 5 a trial-run is undertaken in a few secondary schools to qualitatively test this model for the teaching and evaluation of empathy. The final chapter draws the findings together. The central argument is that , aside f rom the present political reality , there is nothing basically wrong with e subject history at school , but that there are several lacunae in the presentation of history . The teaching and learning is generally centred on the teacher , consequently pupils are not really able to experience the past empathically . Therefore it is necessary to strive after empathy-related skills and evaluation techniques . These ills could be useful in the struggle of history to survive as a subject.

Enkele faktore wat die gemotiveerdheid van sekretariele studente beinvloed

- Description: M.Ed. , This study was aimed at investigating some of the factors influencing the motivation (willingness to learn) of secretarial students at the Technikon Witwatersrand. After the relevant literature had been studies, empirical information was obtained by means of a questionnaire specially compiled for this purpose. This questionnaire was completed by all first year students who registered at the Secretarial School in 1983 and an analysis of the responses was made. It became evident from the literature that the personality of the first year student is still in a stage of development and is consequently subject to much change. Advanced cognitive abilities must therefore in this phase of life be further development together with the personality. At the same time, the establishment of a positive self image and own identity during this period, is a prerequisite for a meaningful willingness to learn and for the student to identify with a particular future career. It needs to be mentioned that a student who has a negative self image as a result of unsatisfactory learning progress at school, may anticipate further failure at tertiary level. This anticipation of unsatisfactory future learning progress has a restraining effect on the student's willingness to learn. A person generally has an intense desire to prove himself or to realise his potential. Self actualization is possible, inter alia, by achieving success in some area. When a person becomes aware of a gap in his existing cognitive frame of reference, he may also search for the cause of this uneasy feeling and attempt in future to avoid similar con flicting incidents.There has until now been no research into the factors influencing the motivation (willingness to learn) of the secretarial students at the Technikon Witwatersrand. In the course of this study, factors that have a negative influence on the motivation of this group of learners were identified. Further research on learning motivation in this school is essential in order to gain more insight into the problem areas mentioned.

To achieve this purpose a conceptual model based on a literature survey is firstly developed. A questionnaire covering the various dimensions of this model is then drawn up. The questionnaire was completed by a sample of 413 people coming from a wide variety of organisations. The main dimensions of organisational behavior as measured by the questionnaire are isolated by means of factor and item analyses. It is found that the results of these analyses confirm the nature of the conceptual model to a hih extent. The questionnaire does not, however, succeed in identifying all of the subsystems of the model. To alleviate the shortcomings of this study, a number of recommendations for further research are made.
