Entrepreneurial development through CSI UWC Entrepreneurship Colloquium

Presented by: Michelle Matthews
What is CSI?
• CSI refers to a company’s contributions (cash and non-cash) to people, organisations or communities that are external to the company and conform to the following broad criteria: – excludes contributions to employees but may include input or
giving to families of employees or local communities from which employees are drawn or where they live,
– predominantly or entirely focused on disadvantaged individuals and communities,
– excludes commercial sponsorship but may form a developmental arm of commercial sponsorship,
– not marketing or public relations-orientated but could have a communications element.

Why do companies fund development?
• It is difficult to operate a business profitably (at least in the long term), in a situation where there is civil unrest, crime, rampant health problems, a lack of an educated workforce and government legislators that repeatedly introduce regulations and policies that are counterproductive to business.
• Business relies on markets that have the means to purchase their products and services. A country where only a very small portion of the population can afford to buy from business is far less attractive to one in which affordability is more widespread.

Why support entrepreneurs and micro/small businesses as part of development spend? • Unemployment stood at 25.2% in the first quarter of 2013 • It was estimated that 48% of the country’s youth were unemployed in 2012 • The economy created 646 000 jobs since the third quarter of 2010,
representing an annual growth rate of 1.4%, which falls far short of the expected 5% annual growth required to meet NDP target of 11 million jobs by 2030
• Formal sector employment increased by 77 000 jobs in the first quarter of 2013 compared to 86 000 jobs in the informal sector during the same period
• South Africa’s informal sector generates approximately R60 billion turnover a year, representing 10% of the country’s GDP
• Only 6% of working South African adults operate their own businesses, and of these just 14% are intentional entrepreneurs compared to an average of 27% for efficiency-driven countries
• DTI research indicates that more than 80% small businesses in SA fail within the first two years of establishment
