CASE STUDY Computer Data Systems (CDS) is an emerging company that manufactures and distributes computers to various businesses in and around Gauteng. In the 2025 financial year the company experienced a spike in hijackings of their delivery trucks transporting computers. It is estimated that CDS lost a total of R of their annual revenue, which is about 30% (impact factor). During a recent hijacking incident, the driver and his two support staff members were injured and hospitalised. As a result, the workers union has threatened to down tools if the situation does not get resolved. The insurance company is also refusing to further attend to the company’s claims due to a lack of proof that there were any attempts to increase or implement the necessary security measures, in order to minimise the risks mentioned above. The company policy does not accommodate or mention any aspects of security-related matters. There are about ten (10) delivery trucks and each one of them transports computers worth R600 000 per delivery/route daily. The trucks do not have tracking devices and there are no security escorts, or any security measures put in place to protect the workers and the computers. On-site orientation results revealed that the security backlog and weakness of security measures for delivery trucks are estimated at 60% and the security risk factor is estimated at 60%. Read the case study carefully and answer all the questions that follow. Your responses must demonstrate critical thinking and application of research methodology concepts.
