Presented during Tshikululu Social Investments' 2011 Serious Enterprise Development workshop.
How do the objectives of enterprise development under B-BBEE codes compare to those in other countries? Dr Woolley will review the basis of ED qualification under the codes; ask how a company
might engage in value-adding ED in a way that aligns with business strategy; and consider what to do, and what not to do, during the implementation of ED.
2. Ticking Time-Bomb 1 – High GINI
Coefficient “Gini Coefficient is a measure of statistical dispersion
developed by the Italian statistician Corrado Gini,
commonly used as a measure of inequality of income or
wealth. A low Gini coefficient indicates a more equal
distribution, with 0 corresponding to perfect equality,
while higher Gini coefficients indicate more unequal
distribution, with 1 corresponding to perfect inequality.
When used as a measure of income inequality, the most
unequal society will be one in which a single person
receives 100% of the total income and the remaining
people receive none (G=1); and the most equal society
will be one in which every person receives the same
percentage of the total income (G=0).”
