  • The Impact of South African Supermarkets on Agricultural Development in the SADC: a Case Study in Zambia, Namibia and Botswana
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Papers in Economics Agrekon, Vol 48, No 1 (March 2009) Emongor & Kirsten The impact of South African supermarkets on agricultural development in the SADC: a case study in Zambia, Namibia and Botswana R Emongor1 & J Kirsten2 Abstract Supermarkets have expanded rapidly in SADC during the last decade, leading to fears that small-scale farmers and food processors could be excluded from access to urban markets. To assess the impact of supermarket chains on various participants in the supply chain, a survey was carried out in Botswana, Namibia and Zambia in 2004, 2005 and 2007. To determine the factors that influence the choice between the supermarket or traditional market channel and the impact of participation in the supermarket supply chain, a two-step treatment model was used. The results showed that over 80% of all processed food products in Botswana, Namibia and Zambia were imported from South Africa, and that supermarkets used a mixture of procurement systems for fresh fruit and vegetables and processed food products. Participation in the supermarkets channel had a positive impact on small-scale farmers’ incomes. Farmers who supplied fresh fruit and vegetables to supermarkets had a significantly higher income than those who supplied to traditional markets in Zambia. The expansion of South African supermarkets into the SADC countries may be beneficial to small-scale farmers and therefore efforts should be made to incorporate them into the supermarkets’ fresh fruit and vegetable supply chain. Keywords: Supermarkets; fresh produce and processed food; procurement practices; SADC; regional impact 1.

When entering bargaining processes, information relating to company revenue, profits and directors’ pay can assist negotiators in securing securing employees’ wage demands. Directors are employed by a company in the same way as any other employee, be it on managerial or entry level. There is thus no reason why the remuneration approache applied to directors should differ from that applied to other employees. This guide gives a step-by-step approach to assist Global Union Federations (GUFs) and their affiliates in utilising company information when preparing for bargaining processes. YOUR Summarised Checklist on Bargaining with Multinationals What appears below is a quick, easy-to-use checklist to refer to as the process is followed.

KAZEMBE3, JEREMY WAGNER4 SERIES EDITOR: JONATHAN CRUSH 1 Balsillie School of International Affairs, 67 Erb St West, Waterloo N2L 6C2, Canada, [email protected] 2 University of Namibia, 340 Mandume Ndemufayo Ave, Pionierspark, Windhoek, Namibia, [email protected] 3 University of Namibia, 340 Mandume Ndemufayo Ave, Pionierspark, Windhoek, Namibia, [email protected] 4 Balsillie School of International Affairs, 67 Erb St West, Waterloo N2L 6C2, Canada, [email protected] Abstract Africa is urbanizing at an unprecedented rate and food systems are undergoing rapid transformation. This transformation is being driven in part by a global supermarket revolution. However, the idea of an inexorable supermarket revolution on the continent has recently been contested. This paper examines the role of supermarkets in Namibia’s capital city Windhoek to test the applicability of the model. The paper is based on (a) a review of the literature on South African supermarket expansion; (b) a survey of the food purchasing behaviour of a representative sample of 875 households in Windhoek; and (c) a comprehensive product inventory of three supermarkets in Windhoek. Since the end of apartheid, all five major South African supermarket chains have expanded their operations into other African countries, especially those most geographically proximate, such as Namibia. Windhoek is a city of 350,000 people and has over 30 supermarkets, which cluster in middle and high-income areas. However, over 90% of households, including those in low-income areas and informal settlements, patronize these supermarkets. A major reason for growing supermarket domination of the urban food system is the proximity of South Africa and the integration of Namibian supermarkets into South African supply chains.

MBA 2011/12 Evaluation of Greenfield Strategies of Retailers in Sub Saharan Africa: A Two Case Study Approach ANNIE LUGUBE 11356881 A research report submitted to the Gordon Institute of Business Science, University of Pretoria, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Business Administration 7 November 2012 © University of Pretoria Research Project – Annie Lugube Page ii ABSTRACT This research seeks to provide a more concise understanding of multinational Greenfield strategies in emerging markets. A lot has been written pertaining to their conduct in established markets and this has proven inadequate as far as application to emerging markets is concerned. Scholars have developed theories on how multinationals operate but how practical are they on the ground? A two case study approach was seen as the most effective way to grasp the complexities involved in managing multinational firms in emerging markets. The scope was limited to sub Saharan Africa with two retail giants Shoprite and Game being the subject of scrutiny. Literature was developed on the basis of results of previous research and enhanced by in-depth interviews with top retail managers directly involved in the expansion process. Similarities and contrasts between the two firms’ strategies where examined with the aim of acquiring insights on retail Greenfield investments in emerging markets.

  • 'Retail Renaissance' Or a New Colonial Encounter at South African Compani
    White Managers and the African Renaissance – a ‘retail renaissance’ or a new colonial encounter at South African companies in foreign, African countries? Abstract: Codesria 11th General Assembly, Maputo, December 2005 Darlene Miller Senior Lecturer, Sociology Department, Rhodes University. Grahamstown. South Africa [email protected] Multinational companies are dynamic agents of regional integration. Post- apartheid Southern Africa brought expectations of South Africa's capacity to generate economic and political benefits for the region and the continent. The moment of openness offered by the political change in South Africa allowed for a reconfiguration of regional power relations. One concrete instance where these regional power relations are reconfigured is in the workplaces of South African multinational companies in foreign, African countries. Drawing on a case study of Shoprite, a South African retail multinational, in Mozambique and Zambia, this paper shows how South African companies create managerial hierarchies in host countries that both restructure and reinforce South Africa's regional domination. While NEPAD and the African Renaissance claim a moment of regional regeneration, the organisational structures and representational strategies of the regional South African firm refashion a colonial encounter. Forms of workplace organisation, while not the only factors that affect regional perceptions of workers, have important consequences for the regional dispositions and claims of workers employed by these firms. The case study below shows that Shoprite, a South African regional multinational, is led primarily by white South Africans. The political significance of this enduring racial pattern is not lost on local hosts. A discourse of modernisation informs the dispositions of these white South African managers 'in the field'.

  • Fruit and Veg City
    COMPETITION AND REGULATION: COMPETITION, BARRIERS TO ENTRY AND INCLUSIVE GROWTH: CASE STUDY ON FRUIT AND VEG CITY Reena das Nair and Shingie Chisoro Dube Centre for Competition, Regulation and Economic Development, University of Johannesburg [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Located within a broader project on barriers to entry undertaken for National Treasury, this case study explores the typical challenges faced by new entrants in the supermarket industry in South Africa. It draws insights from the experiences of Fruit and Veg City Ltd. and Choppies Enterprises Ltd., successful entrants in the South African supermarket industry. Vibrant competition in the supermarket industry not only benefits consumers across all income groups, but also has a significant impact on farmers, producers and manufacturers that supply supermarkets, given that supermarkets are often a key source of demand and route to market. Supermarkets can therefore contribute to poverty alleviation and inclusive growth objectives, making it a particularly important sector in South Africa. The formal South African supermarket industry however remains concentrated, with large supermarket chains - Shoprite, Pick n Pay, SPAR and Woolworths - dominating particularly in grocery retail. Nevertheless, Fruit and Veg City, a relatively new entrant, has managed to make substantial inroads into the industry. Further, reversing the trend of South African supermarket chains expanding into the southern African region, Botswana-owned supermarket chain Choppies has recently entered South Africa and has grown significantly with a focus on low-income consumers. This case study highlights both the typical structural and strategic barriers to entry, including potential anti-competitive conduct by incumbent supermarkets, faced by new entrants in the supermarket industry in South Africa.
