Sansia Blackmore Mimie

In her thesis, Reversing poverty: the role of institutions, state capacity and human empowerment, the promovenda explores the fundamental causes of poverty persistence, which remains a central challenge of the modern world. In theory, rising political participation operationalises checks on state predation and cultivates development-enabling state capacity. This did not materialise in post-colonial sub-Saharan Africa. The theoretical foundation of this premise is further brought into question by the development achievements of strong, capable non-democracies. The study used a dynamic, panel-data model to explore a probabilistic development hypothesis that fused institutionalism with modernisation and human empowerment. The model relied on regime-independent state capacity to trigger the transformational impetus of rising existential security, autonomy and individual agency. Ensuing shifts in societal value orientations towards emancipative mind-sets drive the progression towards prosperity. The results show that the poor-country deficit in human empowerment, represented by mind-broadening education and emancipative values, dwarfs the shortfalls in all other drivers of prosperity, including exports and investment.

In her thesis, Evaluating the impacts of energy and environmental policy on South African households, the promovenda investigated how different policies and measures designed to reduce CO2 emissions would affect South African households. Following a mixed-method approach consisting of quantitative and qualitative methods, the study provides important insights for policymakers to achieve their strategic objectives in the energy and environmental space, without harming low-income and vulnerable households. Based on a detailed household consumption profile at a disaggregated income level, the researcher used an econometric model to analyse the determinants of electricity demand in the residential sector, taking into account the effects of load-shedding and recent electricity price increases. Finally, a computable general equilibrium model was used to analyse the impact of the carbon tax alongside gains in the renewable energy sector on different household groups. The evidence presented in this thesis makes a significant contribution to the understanding of policy impacts at a disaggregated household level.

In her thesis, Developing a communication strategy for bilateral relations between UAE and South Africa, the study investigated the overall impact of a communication strategy in reference to bilateral ties, as well as the power game between the UAE and SA. The aim of this study is to analyze the significance of bilateral relations between the two countries and provide possible suggestions on how these relationship can be further strengthened. It explores the strategic communication as an umbrella term used to define the activities of disciplines related to management communication, public relations, and promotion. Content analysis and questionnaire were used to collect data. Content analysis was conducted by analysing published news in the most six important newspapers in both countries, plus official press, and government websites. In fact, bilateral ties between the countries are comprised of their overall cooperation in trade, including imports and exports, expats, investment, tourism, mining as well as their correlation to culture. SA and the UAE are important partners with considerable influence in the Middle East and the African continent.

A review of the leadership literature revealed that although there was a need for leaders of character, little was known about the concept of leader character from a research perspective. The emerging construct of RL is a normative theory of leadership that considers leaders’ responsibilities in the global societal context and resonates with the moral and societal themes of virtue ethics. A moral philosophical argument was applied in studying the works of the moral philosophers Aristotle and Alasdair MacIntyre to develop an understanding of the concept of leader character. This research extends the conceptual foundation of responsible leadership by developing the concept of leader character which lies at its core.

In his thesis, Essays on General Equilibrium Models with imperfections, the promovendus introduced a selected number of imperfections to the general equilibrium model. This thesis comprises five independent chapters whose common theme is general equilibrium models with imperfections. The imperfections are income inequality, socio-political instability, tax evasion, inflation aversion and statutory reserve requirements under an inflation targeting regime. Specifically, these imperfections were introduced to an endogenous growth model whereby growth is endogenised by incorporating government expenditure into the production function. The researcher solved each of the five theoretical models and analysed the growth dynamics that emerged. Their impact on selected macroeconomic aggregates were identified by way of either a technical analysis, calibration or empirical investigation. The study broadens understanding of public policies in the presence of commonly observed imperfections that characterise most developing economies.

In his thesis, Essays on macroeconomic dynamics and stability in a dollarised economy: the case of Zimbabwe, the promovendus investigates and model the central role that fiscal policy plays in a dollarized economy. In the first part of the study, the author analyses empirically the dynamic of the Zimbabwe economy under dollarisation, using Bayesian time series mehods. The main finding is that fiscal policy works mainly via its effect on the risk premium and the cost of capital, with a strong contractionary effect of fiscal expansion. It also showed that, although hyperinflation in Zimbabwe was conquered by dollarisation, the foundations of dollarisation were not firmly anchored. As soon as the fiscal strains intensified, the budget instabilities quickly resurfaced. This relation between fiscal balances and economic equilibrium is then modelled in a Dynamic General Equilibrium model of a dollarised economy, estimated on Zimbabwean data. The model shows that the optimal fiscal policy in a dollarised economy requires the use of fiscal policy to control the risk premium, while the actual fiscal policy is found to be clearly the source of volatility of output and prices. The research confirms that under dollarisation, caring about fiscal policy is a necessary condition for a stable macroeconomic framework.

In his thesis, Creating a policy framework for growing the middle class: the case of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, the promovendus utilised the convergent parallel mixed-methods case study design to profile the aspirant middle class. He is able to firstly, identify the key determinants of social mobility of the aspirant middle class towards becoming part of a stable middle class. Secondly he analyses their key characteristics. Thirdly, he ascertains the impact of the identified key determinants of social mobility in promoting their upward mobility. Finally, he creates a policy framework with recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of future policies that will ensure that the aspirant middle class grows and becomes part of a stable middle class. The thesis reveals that the aspirant middle class tends to adopt the lifestyles of the stable middle class, but without the prerequisite resources to sustain these lifestyles. The thesis further reveals a significant relationship between upward social mobility and education, racial inequality, asset ownership, access to economic opportunities, and proximity to developed amenities. The findings were useful to establish a framework for local government policies that could positively influence these determinants to improve the social mobility of the aspirant middle class in sustainable ways.

In his thesis, Inter-relationship between the capital structure and distribution policies of companies listed on the JSE, the promovendus investigated whether companies’ financing decisions and distribution strategies were inter-related. Following a quantitative approach, the research confirmed the existence of an interplay between the two policies directly and through some joint determinants. Justification was provided for financial managers to consider the two policies in tandem to avoid undesirable side effects, in order to build sustainable and competitive businesses. While financial managers consider the capital structure to be an important factor in pay-out decisions of their companies, they seem not to grasp fully how the level of risk and return associated with the capital structure affects pay-out decisions. The study addresses this challenge by proposing a strategic framework for effective capital structure decisions leading to the maximisation of shareholders’ wealth.

In this thesis, Leadership in natural capital accounting, the promovendus investigated the relational dynamics of how leadership was co-created in the evolution of the concept of Natural Capital Accounting. Natural Capital Accounting is a multi-layered and multidisciplinary case study that provides the unit of observation to reveal the ontology of co-creation in relational leadership. The study revealed five key interacting tenets of “ambiguity”, “credibility”, “conversation and or dialogue”, “structures and systems”, and “optimism” that explained how co-creation of leadership takes place in the emergent case of Natural Capital Accounting. The key elements that emerged from five predefined themes were developed into a co-creation model for relational leadership that complements and addresses some of the limitations of existing and emerging leadership theories. The research improves our understanding of how leadership is co-created.

In the thesis, The role of renewable energy in the South African energy supply mix and economy, the promovenda proposes an optimal energy supply mix for South Africa considering the role of renewable energy, the cost of the technologies, and emission generation of the supply mix, as well as the impact of the choice to the economic growth of the country. In a historically fossil fuel-dependent country such as SA, the Energy Plan model results showed that the most optimal growth scenario showed that the planned minimum 26% RES share capacity planned in the draft IRP 2019 could be surpassed to 29.3%. As expected, the junk status scenario which was found to be most optimal in terms of RES share and least emissions, mainly due to the decreased economic activity and low investment, would be expected to lead to a decreased demand and hence lower emissions.

In his thesis, Fiscal decentralisation and autonomy of subnational entities in Ghana, the promovendus investigated the effectiveness of fiscal decentralization in supporting subnational autonomy and the impact of subnational fragmentation on subnational revenues. The study applied mixed research methods consisting of quantitative and qualitative approaches, as well as innovative data coding techniques. The research confirmed the successful implementation of political and administrative decentralization in Ghana. Fiscal decentralization delivered mixed results given that revenue assignment was limited relative to expenditure assignments of subnational entities due to financial capacity constraints. Intergovernmental transfers had an aggregate negative impact on own-source revenues, but no impact on property taxes. Fragmentation of assemblies had an overall negative impact on own-source revenue and property taxes. Fragmentation of metropolitan assemblies had an overall positive effect on property taxes, relative to non-metropolitans, while municipal fragmentation had a net positive effect but an overall negative effect on property taxes.

In her thesis, Investigating the mediating role of managerial engagement in the relationship between innovation and organisational performance, the promovenda purports that managerial engagement mediates the relationship between innovation and organisational performance in the South African service retail sector. The study applied a mixed method research design and was conducted in two phases beginning with the qualitative study aimed at exploring the perceptions of first-line managers regarding the constructs under study. The outcome of the qualitative study revealed the interdependence of the constructs and informed the quantitative study which was the main research strand. The results of the quantitative study revealed that managerial engagement partially mediated the relationship between innovation and organisational performance in the South African service retail sector. The digital revolution has challenged organisations to embrace and manage innovation effectively. The study addresses this challenge by providing insight into how organisations can invest in managerial engagement as a key driver and facilitator of innovation.

In the thesis, Power, privilege and identity at the margins: identity work transitions of lower echelon managers, the promovenda developed new theory to explain the role of national historical dynamics of power and privilege in the identity work of first-level managers-those at the lowest level of the management hierarchy in organisations. By integrating constructivist grounded theory with narrative inquiry and critical discourse analysis, her study revealed that first-level managers engaged in subjective temporality as they struggled for a valued managerial identity at the margins of managerial power in the context of the significant societal and political changes that characterised the first twenty-five years after the repeal of apartheid legislation in South Africa. Through contested processes of episodic and continuous identity work transitions, they constructed identity narratives of identity substitution and invidious discursive performativity as they navigated the loss and gain of socio-political power and privilege. The emergent theory suggests ways for South African organisations and policy-makers to understand the complex challenges of achieving transformation in the workplace better.

In her thesis, Conceptualising balanced reliance on internal audit work by external auditors, the promovenda used Glaserian grounded theory to explain reliance on internal audit work by external auditors conceptually. The major contribution is the new substantive theory of balanced reliance. The theory explained that when management, audit committee and internal and external auditors (stakeholder groups) balance their reciprocal roles, interpretations, interests and practices, reliance becomes appropriate and fair (balanced), irrespective of the reliance decision. Facilitative communication and balancing oversight by a strong audit committee support stakeholder groups’ willing reciprocal synchronisation of their influences on reliance, as a foundation for voluntarily forming a team mindset. Such a mindset mediates habitual integration and fair alignment of internal and external audit work. The theory overcomes prevailing implementation problems and academic knowledge gaps arising from the complexity of reliance. The resultant appropriate and fair reliance meets audit effectiveness (quality) and audit efficiency expectations.

In the thesis, The role of gender in brand anthropomorphism of brand spokes-characters, the promovenda explored the role of gender in the brand anthropomorphism of brand spokes-characters in a non-profit context. Although research on brand anthropomorphism is increasing, research on the variance in the brand anthropomorphism of brand stimuli, such as brand spokes-characters, using a gendered lens is scarce, especially in a non-profit context. As gender conversations and norms are currently changing in society, a gendered lens was deemed especially important. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, the researcher found evidence for the potential of brand anthropomorphism to yield long-term success in the non-profit sector. The results suggest that the perceived gender of brand stimuli impacts unobserved characteristics associated with brand spokes-characters, thus influencing brand benefits. Furthermore, consumer gender impacts the relationship between brand anthropomorphism and prosocial behaviour. It was found that gender differences of both the brand stimuli and consumers are important considerations for effective marketing strategies.

In her thesis, Energy demand and energy poverty: a reconsideration of basic household needs , the promovenda focused on energy demand and basic energy needs in the residential sector within the developing context of South Africa. The study investigated factors associated with household energy demand, as well as the consequence of the inability to meet household energy requirements, namely energy poverty. The study first examined determinants of household electricity consumption in South Africa to better understand which factors affect South African household energy consumption. It then presented a modelling method for the estimation of required household energy consumption by assuming that basic household energy needs only relate to household size and composition. Based on the estimated required energy consumption, the research was able to measure energy poverty in South Africa. The proposed method for required energy consumption offers options for the development of accurate measurement of energy poverty to ensure that energy policies targeting energy poor households can be designed more efficiently.

In her thesis Entrepreneurial opportunity incubation: A micro-process view, the promovenda explored how entrepreneurs evolve new venture ideas into prospective venture concepts. The granular level of activation accessed by the study, revealed entrepreneurs’ cognitive and behavioural competencies in driving enactment. The study advances theory through empirical insight into the iterative character of new venture opportunity incubation as enacted by seasoned entrepreneurs. Case study analysis featuring longitudinal data promotes a lived experience-led conceptualisation of key constructs and their relationships. The findings identify and describe the micro-processes that constitute new venture opportunity incubation. Finally, the study identifies the venture concept artifacts that seasoned entrepreneurs prioritise when shaping new venture concepts. The degree Doctor of Philosophy

In her thesis, Social Entrepreneurs’ Conceptions of Incubator-based Learning, the promovenda explored the ways social entrepreneurs experience learning in an incubator in South Africa. A phenomenographic approach identified eight conceptions of incubator-based learning, and the divergent use of phenomenography in a non-formal learning environment indicated two differences in commonly held conceptions of learning. Using the eight conceptions, a model of the informal learning process of social entrepreneurs in incubation programmes was developed, contributing to theory by demonstrating that this learning process is different from informal learning processes in other contexts. Further analysis identified five learning archetypes, visualised through a phenomenographic outcome space showing how each archetype experiences each conception, and therefore the overall experience of learning, in a distinct way. Although incubators are rarely designed with learning in mind, this study identifies actions incubators can take to better support the learning process. The degree Doctor of Philosophy

Nelson Solan Chipangamate In his thesis, The process of constructing and maintaining a social licence to operate in a developing market, the promovendus applied a dynamic process approach to demonstrate how an emerging market multinational enterprise sustained a social licence to operate in a developing host country agricultural sector undergoing heightened corporate-community conflicts. By triangulating data from in-depth semi-structured interviews, observations and archives, the thesis demonstrated that corporate-community engagement is a necessary but insufficient condition for a lasting social licence. Findings suggested that transactional, transitional and transformational engagement are three processes responsible for constructing a social licence at the level of acceptance, approval and psychological identification respectively. The researcher identified organisational reflection as the central mechanism triggering an organisation to shift engagement processes. To highlight important social licence conditions, engagement legitimacy and reciprocal trust were proposed. The thesis advances our understanding of dynamic processes responsible for constructing enduring social licence, at a time in which the licence is globally seen as the leading risk for multinational enterprises operating in communities.
