Abstract

ENGLISH : This research explored the development of an enterprise risk management (ERM) roadmap for the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) amid growing business risks from global financial shifts and pandemics. It emphasised a holistic management approach to address PRASA’s ERM difficulties and opportunities. It also advocated a tailor-made ERM roadmap underpinned by an action priority matrix. Given the lack of ERM literature for public enterprises, this study aimed to bridge that gap using a mixed-methods approach to identify barriers, enablers, and opportunities for ERM implementation. The findings suggested that a customised ERM roadmap would enhance PRASA’s governance, efficiency, risk, and resilience, and contribute to value creation.
AFRIKAANS : Hierdie navorsing het die ontwikkeling van 'n ondernemingsrisikobestuur (ORB) padkaart vir die Passasierspooragentskap van Suid-Afrika (PRASA) ondersoek te midde van groeiende sakerisiko's as gevolg van wêreldwye finansiële verskuiwings en pandemies. Dit het 'n holistiese bestuursbenadering beklemtoon om PRASA se ORB-probleme en -geleenthede aan te spreek. Dit het ook 'n pasgemaakte ORB-padkaart bepleit, ondersteun deur 'n aksieprioriteitsmatriks. Gegewe die gebrek aan ORB-literatuur vir openbare ondernemings, het hierdie studie daarop gemik om daardie gaping te oorbrug deur 'n gemengde-metodes-benadering te gebruik om hindernisse, bevorderaars en geleenthede vir ORB-implementering te identifiseer. Die bevindinge het daarop gedui dat 'n pasgemaakte ORB-padkaart PRASA se bestuur, doeltreffendheid, risiko en veerkragtigheid sou verbeter, en tot waardeskepping sou bydra.
