| Title | The strategic implications of black empowerment policy in South Africa: a case study of boundary choice and client preferences in a small services firm | |
| Creator | Boshoff, Willem H | |
| Description | This paper studies the relationship between a firms boundary choices within its value chain and the BEE pressures it faces from its clients. The paper shows that BEE policy alters the value chain preferences of a firms clients. These changes in client preferences motivate the firm to altering its boundaries. More important, boundary changes due to BEE are implemented in a way that ensures that the firm retains crucial architectural knowledge, which preserves its competitive advantage. Firms therefore do not respond passively to BEE-induced changes in client preferences, but aim to meet BEE aims within their broader strategic environment. | |
