Eiendomsbestuur in die Wes-Kaapse Onderwysdepartement : 'n ondernemende benadering

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The Western Cape Province experiences a shortage of funds, which results in provincial departments,such as the Western Cape EducationDepartment (WCED), not being able to fulfil all its needs. Alternativemethods of funding have to be found to supplement the traditional tax-based funding by the State.The Provincial Administration: Western Cape (PAWC) owns immovable properties which are not fullyutilised or managed cost-effectively. Properties, if managed entrepreneurially, offer the advantage of anincome to the PAWC, and the WCED in particular. This study investigates the possibility of entrepreneurialproperty management in the public sector. Literature has been studied in order to establish what propertymanagement is about, what public management and entrepreneurial public management entail, and thecharacteristics that organisations should have to manage themselves innovatively.The present property management system in the PAWC and the WCED was examined and problemsregarding the system highlighted. Guidelines for entrepreneurial property management were then drawnfrom the literature. With a view to ensuring the optimal management and use of property and acomprehensive service to clients, an organisational structure model was developed and illustratedschematically. The existing public management system was evaluated and found to be unsatisfactorymeasured against the guidelines and model for entrepreneurial public management. Recommendationswere made for changing and renewing the organisational structure and management style of the PAWCand WCED.
