The SRC, throughout the years, has organised reviews in order to be effective and relevant to the student population, but has been unable to produce appropriate changes or maintain outcomes to obtain the coordination they need. The 2001 Students Governance Review (SGR), initiated by the SRC leader 2000, seemed to be given adequate planning, resources and effort than the 1970 and 1997 attempts. However, these outcomes were met with huge resistance and later discarded. This problem is also due to the high turnover of student leadership. As an outsider to student governance, I could see there was a pattern of little or no implementation of the outcomes of reviews. My initial question was "why again?" As a researcher in this field, it was necessary for me to approach the problem from a fresh perspective due to this pattern in behaviour and operate within a framework that would allow me to get to the root causes. Systems thinking enabled me do this as it allowed me to get a holistic perspective of the problem. 2014-07-31T11:21:10Z 2014-07-31T11:21:10Z 2005 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5519 eng application/pdf Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
