    Cives Corporation Case Study

    If Mr. Manual had checked the drawings, he would have noticed that Cives conspicuously indicated on the drawings that the relevant connection was to be field-welded. Consequently, as Mr. Manual testified, if he had known the connection was to be field-welded, he would have informed Midwest’s foreman that temporary support was needed. Moreover, if Cives did indicate on the drawings that temporary support was suggested or recommended, even though the standard of care does not require it to do so, Mr. Manual would not have seen the notation because he never looked at the drawings before making a critical decision regarding his coworkers’ safety. Additionally, the actions of the parties overwhelmingly establish that it was not Cives’ obligation to indicate temporary support was needed for any connection on the project. Instead, Midwest determined if temporary support was necessary for other connections on the structure. Finally, Starr’s appointed counsel has repeatedly informed Starr that Lend Lease’s theory finds no support in the…

    Capitec Strategy to success

    History shows that the South African banking sector has predominately focused on middle to upper class income groups in the market, whilst neglecting the needs and demands of low income groups (Manson, 2012). Capitec Bank on the other hand, focused on the needs of these low income groups, creating a business model that was specifically tailored to their needs. Capitec was introduced in the banking industry during a time of crisis, Saambou Bank, which focused in micro lending had collapsed (McNulty, 2009). However Capitec has managed to endure this predicament and since its inception, has emerged as a force to be reckoned with, in a relatively short period of time. The bank has managed to penetrate the South African banking sector with progression in a matter of a few years due to its implementation of the inventive Bottom of the Pyramid (BoP) strategy aimed at targeting the lower end consumers (van Themaat et al, 2013). It is therefore essential to evaluate the BoP strategy, along with all of its aspects. For this reason, this essay will examine the history of Capitec Bank and in particular outline the successful adaption of the BoP strategy as well as its growth and current position in the banking sector. However, the main objective that will be discussed in detail will be on the aspects of Capitec’s strategy crucial for leverage in its position in the South African banking sector.…
