1. Mission / purpose

The Unit for Applied Management Sciences (hereafter UAMS) represents the research pillar of the School of Management Sciences. The reason for the existence of the UAMS is to act as the consulting and research arm for the various departments comprising the School of Management Sciences (Business Management, Logistics, Marketing Management, as well as Management and Entrepreneurship). In this capacity the Unit gives effect to the School’s mission, namely to be: A School that will be renowned for its impact on the local business and broader community through the offering of comprehensive, relevant and quality teaching and research products by respected academics.

1.1 Alignment with vision and mission of the NMMU

Values inform and define institutional ethos and distinctive educational purpose and philosophy.

Commitment to promoting equity of access and opportunities so as to give students the best chance of success in their pursuit of lifelong learning and diverse educational goals.

A vibrant, stimulating and richly diverse environment that enables staff and students to reach their full potential.

Development of graduates and diplomates to be responsible global citizens capable of critical reasoning, innovation, and adaptability.

Sustaining an environment that encourages and supports a vibrant research, scholarship and innovation culture.

Mutually beneficial partnerships locally, nationally and globally to enhance social, economic, and ecological sustainability.

The mission of the UAMS also contributes to the achievement of the mission and strategic direction of the University and Faculty of Business and Economic Sciences as the Unit strives to develop socially and technologically competent professionals from diverse cultural and geographical backgrounds through sustaining, generating and imparting advanced knowledge by means of research, consulting, teaching and networking. The Unit strives to create an environment that encourages and supports a vibrant research culture in the School of Management Sciences and to develop mutually beneficial partnerships locally and nationally as well as internationally.

The main objectives of the UAMS are:

- To establish, maintain and grow a creative research culture in the School of Management Sciences.

- To study and conduct research in the fields of business management, entrepreneurship and business development.

- To offer postgraduate students the opportunity to participate in business practice.- To promote the principles of entrepreneurship at all levels of the population.- To disseminate relevant information among particular stakeholders.- To provide advice to stakeholders through training and consultation.- To offer short courses, on an income-generating basis, at all levels of

management.- To promote the establishment of small business enterprises in the widest

meaning of the term.

Collectively, all of the above objectives converge in economic and business development with a focus on job creation and entrepreneurship. The Unit also strives as far as possible to align some of its research activities to the institutional research theme of sustainable local economic development, which is linked to the sub-themes of entrepreneurship, SMMEs and family businesses; local economic development and ethics and social responsibility. Many of the outputs reflected in this report are testimony of research conducted within these institutional research themes.

The Unit undertake to uphold the following values of the NMMU: Respect for diversity by fostering an environment in which diversity is

appreciated, respected and celebrated; Excellence by promoting, recognise and reward excellence in research within

the School; Ubuntu by being a people-centred unit respecting the dignity of others; Integrity by behaving in an ethical and professional manner and to be

accountable and transparent; Responsibility for actions and achievement of personal and institutional goals;

and

3.1 Human resources issues

The number of staff members in the School of Management Sciences, and hence the Unit, have stayed more or less the same (50 in 2012 and 51 in 2013). In 2013 there were no independently paid or NCWA appointed staff members employed by the UAMS.

4. Goals / targets for the year under review

4.1 Statement of goals / targets

As clearly stated in paragraph one the UAMS functions as a research unit under the auspices of the School of Management Sciences. Only research of an academic nature was undertaken as reflected in paragraph 4.3 hereunder (outputs). Based on the outputs of previous years, the following goals/targets are suggested for 2014:

4.2 Strategies employed to achieve goals/target

A School Research Discussion Group was established. The purpose of this group is to offer colleagues the opportunity to discuss M&D research which is being undertaken in the School and to provide input into each others work. The group also acts as study leaders for M & D students in the School. Members of the School Research Discussion Group include all staff with Doctoral degrees. The DoS scheduled a research meeting for all school members to discuss research-related issues and strategies to enhance the research profile of the school.

In 2013 a number of initiatives were undertaken by the Faculty RTI committee and the UAMS to address the needs of both emerging and established researchers. These strategies are also applicable to members of the Unit and include, amongst others:

Payment of pages fees as an incentive to publish articles in accredited journals. Faculty researcher and emerging researcher of the year awards to give

recognition to researchers in the School and Faculty. M & D colloquium held in March 2013 for the School of Management Sciences

to provide a platform for promoting and enhancing post graduate research which were externally evaluated by a panel of three evaluators.

Enhancing the qualification profile of the Faculty and School by increasing the percentage of members with masters and doctorate degrees.

Prof G. Stead presented various research-orientated workshops. A number of research-related workshops were presented during 2013 by

Research Capacity Development to equip members with better research skills and knowledge and all members were encouraged to attend.

4.4 Self-assessment of achievement of goals/targets

The table below provides a summary of the research outputs of the School in 2011 and 2012 with a brief assessment of the achievement of the goals/targets in 2012.

It is particularly encouraging to note that papers presented at conferences increased overall by 7%. A total of 45 papers were presented from which 33 were at international conferences. It should be noted that many young and novice researchers attended conferences for the first time. The amount of journal articles published increased by 21%. Although the amount of international published journal articles decreased, DOE listed articles increased by 33% and other peer reviewed articles increased by a huge margin of 400%. There was however a remarkable decrease of 50% in the number of books and book chapters written and published. Masters and Doctoral studies completed shown an increase of 16%. It should be noted that there were 11 doctorates promoted by supervisors in the School. Treatises completed decreased with 10%. Other outputs such as talks and magazine publications also decreased. It appears that the research outputs of the School are very satisfactory, although contributions are made only by a handful of staff members. Most of these categories of outputs were however higher than the goals/targets set for 2013.

Barriers and constraints

The main barriers to meeting the 2012 goals/targets relate to the lack of competent research and administrative support. The lack of a competent researcher (such as a retired academic) who could screens M & D students’ research proposals before they are allocated to supervisors was also highlighted as a barrier to increasing research outputs. Poorly written research proposals delay the process and leads to a great deal of frustration among

Page 19: Summerstrand Campus (North)sms.mandela.ac.za/sms/media/Store/Unit Reports/UA… · Web viewEmployee-related factors that impact the performance of training institutions in developing

19

colleagues. Capacity to act as supervisors is also a constraint as many staff members are overextended.

5. Highlights and special achievements

- Thirty three papers were presented at international conference as far as Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Florida, Michigan and Seychelles.

- Five papers won best paper or runner-up awards at various conferences. - Dr J Kruger received the Faculty Emerging Researcher 2013 Award.- Prof EE Smith received the Faculty Sustainability/Green Researcher 2013 Award.- Prof S Farrington received the Faculty Reseacher of the Year Award.

6. Finances

6.1 Financial review

No council funds for the NMMU are used at all. Projects are financed by the individual researchers themselves, either from personal

research allocations, own equity or donations. Post-graduate candidates pay for the paper, postage, toner and duplicating costs. The income and expenditure statements are administered via the NMMU financial

system. No cash is withdrawn from the UAMS in the form of salaries by the members of the

UAMS. Surpluses generated by the UAMS are reinvested in research projects and are also used

to attend national and international research conferences.
