What are the factors affecting entry and participation in sectors where there are historically strong incumbent firms? Opening the South African Economy brings to light the challenges of concentration, inequality and exclusion in different sectors of the South African economy. The book begins with an assessment of the current state of the economy. Detailed case studies then recount the experiences - good and bad - of well-known South African entrant firms in sectors that are critical for facilitating economic growth, including retail, food, fuel, telecommunications, airlines and banking. Important cross-cutting chapters reflect on the role that government policies can play in achieving a more open, inclusive and competitive economy and the use (and misuse) of policy tools such as competition law, black economic empowerment and state procurement. It concludes with a set of concrete recommendations for opening up the South African economy, improved coordination among state institutions and inclusive industrial development."--Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 648 7 $a Since 1991 $2 fast 650 0 $a Barriers to entry (Industrial organization) $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Barriers to entry (Industrial organization) $z South Africa $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Corporations $z South Africa. 650 0 $a Corporations $z South Africa $v Case studies. 650 7 $a Barriers to entry (Industrial organization) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00827771 650 7 $a Commerce. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869279 650 7 $a Corporations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00879777 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 651 0 $a South Africa $x Commerce. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Economic policy. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Economic policy $v Case studies. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Economic conditions $y 1991- 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 700 1 $a Vilakazi, Thando, $e editor. 700 1 $a Goga, Sumayya, $e editor. 700 1 $a Roberts, Simon, $d 1969- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317025425.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=97D12460403511EB87AA299C42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
