Surfacing factors that prevent small businesses in economically deprived areas from growing: a multiple case study in Site C, Khayelitsha by Ncoliwe, Lwazi

“…Identifying these factors and understanding their dynamics can assist in developing strategies which will help in overcoming these challenges. The study utilised a multiple case study approach. Choosing businesses situated in the same geographical area ensured that certain external factors were held constant (for example, the socio-economic status of the surrounding community, distance from economic hubs, and crime levels), and therefore the use of multiple case studies allowed. …”

Developing a pathway out of poverty in the Global Coffee Production Network - a case study of employment creation for baristas in the speciality coffee industry by Anderson, Robyn

“…With a narrowly defined unemployment rate of 26.5% in South Africa, this paper contributes to the salient task of exploring a job creation programme in a high growth sector of the global coffee production network, namely the production of espresso based beverages by baristas for sale in restaurants, cafes, and hotels. Situated in the qualitative paradigm with an inductive research agenda, this research utilises the case study method to explore Ground UP, a skills training programme of a local not-for-profit, which provides barista skills training that unemployed people can use to become economically active in context of the specialty coffee industry. …”
