Organisational capabilities that influence the creation of shared value through supplier and enterprise development

Abstract

South Africa today is confronted with enormous social, economic, and environmental challenges. It is imperative that organisations across sectors work together to address issues ranging from poverty and malnutrition to social inequality. The challenges facing these poor or vulnerable societies require innovative, sustainable, and large-scale solutions. Business can assist with these social issues by applying strategies that leverage their organisational capabilities to create shared value by implementing supplier and enterprise development initiatives to enhance their value chain.
