Entrepreneurial skills development is a topic that has enjoyed much attention by many a researcher, and some scholars propose that entrepreneurship may be a panacea for poverty alleviation. Many businesses in South Africa support entrepreneurial skills development through their SD and ED programmes. However, it appears as if these programmes do not result in the realisation of sustainable small businesses. SD and ED programmes can make a significant contribution to entrepreneurial skills development. It is therefore important that the effectiveness of these programmes in entrepreneurial skills development are improved. This research employed a qualitative research methodology, with 17 in-depth semi-structured interviews that were conducted with the senior managers of large corporates and consultancy firms. The perspectives of these managers provided valuable insights into the effectiveness of SD and ED programmes in entrepreneurial skills development. As this study explored entrepreneurial skills development in the uniquely South African context of B-BBEE legislation, it provides unique and valuable insights into the phenomenon of SD and ED skills development programmes, which thereby contribute to the body of knowledge in entrepreneurial skills development. The research also provides valuable insights to managers that may enable them to improve the effectiveness of their entrepreneurial skills development programmes pt2021 Gordon Institute of Business Science (GIBS) MBA Unrestricted 2021-04-22T10:33:13Z 2021-04-22T10:33:13Z 2021/04/30 2020 Mini Dissertation Barnard, JL 2020, A managerial perspective on the effectiveness of supplier and enterprise development programmes in entrepreneurial skills development, MBA Mini Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/79597> http://hdl.handle.net/2263/79597 en © 2020 University of Pretoria.
