Publication
2014.
Summary/Abstract
In line with international studies, this study reports in a case study how a South African school principal succeeded in sustaining leadership despite the challenges South African schools experience, and how the principal's leadership practice related to core leadership practices required for a school principal to be successful. Data were collected by means of open-ended interviews with the principal and his staff. The following main themes were constructed: (1) Personal traits; (2) Leadership style; and (3) Ability to sustain and improve development. Secondary empirical data from previous studies in the school supported the findings in this study. The findings of this case study have implications for South African school principals: (1) principals need to be fully committed to improve the quality of learning in schools; (2) they need to be skilful in effectively using available resources; (3) successful principalship develops over time and requires a clear vision, optimism, high performance expectations and acting with care and integrity to nurture trust among role players

University students' entrepreneurial intentions: a comparative analysis of Hong Kong and Guangzhou
/ Liu, Wan-Hsin; Bickenbach, Frank ; Dohse, Dirk
Liu, Wan-Hsin
Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract
Based on original survey data, this paper analyses and compares the role of personal traits and networks in determining entrepreneurial intentions of students in Hong Kong and in Guangzhou. The two cities are culturally closely related but differ strongly with respect to their labor market conditions and the maturity of their legal and business environments. We find that the determinants of students' entrepreneurial intentions differ substantially between Hong Kong and Guangzhou, with the findings for Hong Kong showing much similarity with previous findings for Western economies. This suggests that differences in labor market prospects and in the maturity of their legal and business environments might be more important than cultural (dis-)similarities in identifying key factors forming students' entrepreneurial intentions.
