Sing, Linda ichelp@gibs.co.za Walters, Thomas UCTD Agriculture and state Land Reform Dissertation (MBA)--University of Pretoria, 2013. This research explores and describes the factors applicable to the success of community-based co-operative ventures in a land reform context. Its theory-base is rooted in entrepreneurship with useful additions gleaned from the experiences of co-operative ventures in South Africa and internationally. It makes use of a purposeful and snowballing sampling strategy to conduct qualitative research. Data were analysed using descriptive analysis and an open inductive approach. Triangulation of results was achieved through in-depth focus group interviews, background depth through secondary research and literature control making use of specific research objectives. The results suggest that a co-operative setting can identify, nurture and expand entrepreneurship. It observes that co-operative schemes can provide the means to substitute for and leverage the external institutional environment that co-operative schemes in a land reform context typically find themselves in. It offers new perspectives on how the interaction of elements affecting the success of co-operative ventures in a land reform context should be analysed. Further research is suggested to test these results. pagibs2014 Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) MBA Unrestricted 2014-07-07T06:56:29Z 2014-07-07T06:56:29Z 2014-04-30 2013 Mini Dissertation Walters, T 2013, Understanding the criteria for successful community based co-operatives – the case for co-operative schemes as a vehicle for successful land reform in agriculture., MBA Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/40565> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/40565 en © 2014 University of Pretoria.
