What is the business model for low-cost airlines? What can a SWOT analysis teach us about the beer war in South Africa? How does changing labour legislation affect staffing decisions. Business cases 2e is a case study book which is complementary to the Introduction to Business Management product suite (including Multiple Choice Questions for Introduction to Business Management). The cases illustrate how business management theory is applied to local organisations. This holistic approach exposes students to the important aspects of owning and managing a business, especially in the South African context. Business cases 2e is written for first-year Business Management students who are studying towards a degree or diploma. It may be used to accompany any introductory business management textbook.

What does corporate citizenship entail? What is the rationale for corporate citizenship? What essential capabilities are required for corporate citizenship roles to be successfully incorporated into the key functional areas of business? Corporate Citizenship answers these and numerous other related questions, by providing a comprehensive foundation that equips students with the tools to analyse the development and implementation of globally responsible business behavior. While corporate citizenship may be a theoretical and philosophical subject, this textbook offers a broad range of examples and situations that give students the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a critical manner within a business context. The book is written for senior undergraduate students at universities and universities of technology, who are studying subjects within the field of Commerce.

Leadership is an increasingly important concept which is being heralded as a necessary topic to be included in undergraduate courses at South African institutions, given the dearth of leadership skill displayed in especially the public sector. Leadership is a subject which should be approached in a holistic manner, particularly within the Economic and Management Sciences. The purpose of this textbook is to identify the principles of leadership in contemporary business organisations and to develop the students' understanding of the interrelatedness of leadership and management in order to achieve organisational goals. The textbook also covers contemporary issues in practicing leadership for success. The book aims to encourage students to understand the principles and the importance of effective leadership in modern organisations, to understand the leadership skills that are necessary in modern organisations, the role of leaders in workplace relations, the role of leaders in teamwork, the importance of leadership ethics and the formulation of leadership standards and evaluation of leadership performance.

Gallium nitride (GaN) is an emerging technology that promises to displace silicon MOSFETs in the next generation of power transistors. As silicon approaches its performance limits, GaN devices offer superior conductivity and switching characteristics, allowing designers to greatly reduce system power losses, size, weight, and cost. This timely second edition has been substantially expanded to keep students and practicing power conversion engineers ahead of the learning curve in GaN technology advancements. Acknowledging that GaN transistors are not one-to-one replacements for the current MOSFET technology, this book serves as a practical guide for understanding basic GaN transistor construction, characteristics, and applications. Included are discussions on the fundamental physics of these power semiconductors, layout and other circuit design considerations, as well as specific application examples demonstrating design techniques when employing GaN devices. With higher-frequency switching capabilities, GaN devices offer the chance to increase efficiency in existing applications such as DC–DC conversion, while opening possibilities for new applications including wireless power transfer and envelope tracking. This book is an essential learning tool and reference guide to enable power conversion engineers to design energy-efficient, smaller and more cost-effective products using GaN transistors. Key features: <ul>
<li>Written by leaders in the power semiconductor field and industry pioneers in GaN power transistor technology and applications.</li> <li>Contains useful discussions on device–circuit interactions, which are highly valuable since the new and high performance GaN power transistors require thoughtfully designed drive/control circuits in order to fully achieve their performance potential.</li> <li>Features practical guidance on formulating specific circuit designs when constructing power conversion systems using GaN transistors – see companion website for further details.</li> <li>A valuable learning resource for professional engineers and systems designers needing to fully understand new devices as well as electrical engineering students.</li> </ul>
