Abstract

A new era dawned in South Africa in 1994 as the apartheid regime was replaced by a democratic one and freedom for all citizens seemed possible at last. Amidst the changing political landscape, the late president Nelson Mandela pleaded for reconciliation among all racial groups. He stated that physical freedom was not sufficient, and that economic freedom had to be cultivated (Ponte, Roberts & Van Sittert 2007; Tangri & Southall 2008). A staggering 80% of black business owners felt that their foundation was weak at the end of apartheid, and that they could not compete fairly with white individuals (Masito 2007). One suggestion to level the playing field was to introduce legislation to promote Black Economic Empowerment (Acemoglu, Gelb & Robinson 2007; Jeffrey 2014).

广泛的黑人经济赋权和企业财务健康

1994年，随着种族隔离政权被民主政权所取代，南非迎来了一个新时代，所有公民的自由似乎终于成为可能。在不断变化的政治格局中，已故总统纳尔逊·曼德拉(Nelson Mandela)呼吁所有种族群体和解。他指出，身体自由是不够的，必须培养经济自由(Ponte, Roberts & Van Sittert 2007;Tangri & Southall 2008)。令人震惊的是，80%的黑人企业主认为，在种族隔离结束时，他们的基础很薄弱，他们无法与白人公平竞争(Masito 2007)。公平竞争环境的一个建议是引入立法来促进黑人经济赋权(Acemoglu, Gelb & Robinson 2007;杰弗里·2014)。

期刊介绍： The South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences (SAJEMS) is a leading South African-based publication for interdisciplinary research in the economic and management sciences. The journal publishes and disseminates high-quality academic articles that contribute to the better understanding of the interaction between economic, environmental and social perspectives as applicable to the broader management sciences in an African environment. The editorial board therefore invites authors to submit their research from areas such as economics, finance, accounting, human capital, marketing and other related disciplines that break down common intellectual silos and prepares a new path for debate on the operation and development of sustainable markets and organisations as relevant to the broader African context.
