Aim: This article identifies the impact of increasing disruption driven by the 4IR and COVID-19 on the content and curriculum design of degree programmes in economic and management sciences offered by South African universities. Setting: Six South African and five top-tier US and UK universities. Methods: The study used a non-positivist qualitative research design and specifically the case-study approach. A document analysis of the information in university yearbooks and prospectuses was conducted, using a purposive sampling design. Results: An online presence will become more important due to increased disruption, and will not only ensure an additional revenue stream, but also promote continuity in operations and mitigate threats from competitors. COVID-19 has accelerated the extent of this disruption and expedited the migration to online teaching and learning platforms. Conclusion: Since science, technology, engineering and mathematics are integral to the majority of 4IR-related modules, South African universities must not shy away from degree programmes that ignore inter- and multi-disciplinary curriculum designs. Coupled with the challenges facing the majority of South African students to access electronic devices, data and the internet, COVID-19 has thrust this challenge to the forefront in the South African higher education landscape. By comparing the developments in South African universities with those in trendsetting, top-tier, global universities, management can assess the extent to which they are internationally competitive and adapting to the demands of the 4IR.","PeriodicalId":46244,"journal":{"name":"South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences","volume":"84 1","pages":"12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-04-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83846033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The approach used in this study differs from previous studies because it examines the skills component of human capital and its impact on economic growth. Economic growth literature highlights three mechanisms that show a causal relationship between the education component of human capital and economic growth. Firstly, education is a key instrument that shapes the human capital fibre, equipping the labour force for higher productivity levels (Mankiw, Romer & Weil 1992). Secondly, education increases the innovative capacity of the economy and brings knowledge of new technologies, products and processes which then promote efficient production activities that boost economic growth. This view is supported by theories of endogenous growth developed by Lucas (1988), Howitt and Aghion (1998) and Romer (1990). Lastly, education facilitates the diffusion and transmission of knowledge needed to understand and process new information, as well as successfully implement new technologies to promote economic growth (Benhabib & Spiegel 1994; Nelson & Phelps 1966). Acemoglu (2009) notes that in the case of farming, educated farmers accept and adapt easily to the utilisation of new technology or seeds in order to increase productivity and income levels.","PeriodicalId":46244,"journal":{"name":"South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80169127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These seemingly contradicting theories have attracted a vast amount of empirical literature in developed countries (Glauber 2007; Kelly & Grant 2012; Killewald 2013; Schmitt 2010). However, very limited evidence exists in developing countries where labour market rigidities, social norms and cultural values play an important role in shaping the extent of validity (or otherwise) of these theories (Petersen, Penner & Hogsnes 2011). Most of the studies on marriage premiums or penalties have focused mainly on the husband. According to Breusch and Gray (2004), the little evidence that is available shows positive (but small), zero or even negative effects of marriage on women’s remuneration. In many developing countries, social norms and cultural practices influence intra-household bargaining power, gender roles and resources allocation (Doss 2013). This means that analysis of the determinants of labour market outcomes and household production need to be context specific.","PeriodicalId":46244,"journal":{"name":"South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78523878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some researchers (Balogun, Nazeem & Agumba 2016; Ghebrihiwet 2019; Maduku, Mpinganjira & Duh 2016) have directed attention to the impact of SMEs on the South African economy. Others (Fatoki 2014; Makhitha 2017; Neneh & Van Zyl 2017) have concentrated on the challenges faced by SMEs in South Africa. Also, additional studies (Dzomonda, Fatoki & Oni 2017; HoveSibanda, Sibanda & Pooe 2017; Mathu & Tlare 2017) have placed emphasis on entrepreneurship factors determining the success of SMEs in the country. Yet other scholars (Aliyu, Modu & Tan 2018; Chakraborty, Mutingi & Vashishth 2019; Chingwaru 2015 three) have conducted comparative studies involving SMEs in South Africa and those in other parts of the world, such as Zimbabwe, Egypt and Nigeria, India and Namibia. Several common gears of observations bind these studies together. Firstly, the studies concur that SMEs are essential to the South African economy, contributing extensively to its growth and development. Secondly, most studies assent that the SME trajectory in the country is a difficult one and is riddled with numerous internal and external problems that have claimed the existence of numerous enterprises soon after their formation. Thirdly, the studies commonly accept that the path followed by SMEs in South Africa is neither unique nor isolated since similar enterprises in other developing countries face comparable problems.","PeriodicalId":46244,"journal":{"name":"South African Journal of Economic and Management Sciences","volume":"141 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2021-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85270949","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
