Assignment 02 QUESTION 1 A famous South African entrepreneur like Patrice Motsepe can mentor young entrepreneurs in running a business. Discuss the reasons why most businesses fail. QUESTION 2 [20] Trade unions are by far not the only actor and most likely not even the most effective actor in bringing about, securing and maintaining inclusive economic transformation, but they are, due to their democratic, institutional and internationalist characteristics, crucial to the process. It seems that the discourse on economic transformation needs to incorporate the labour movement, even if discussions on exploitation and class struggle seem so unpopular in much of development studies and praxis. During the turbulent years of anti-apartheid agitations, trade unions played a vital role in South Africa. Now the trade unions of South Africa are politically active and they can challenge anyone irrespective of the position held by that individual in a country. 14 OTE2601/101/0/2025 2.1 Discuss about the role of Trade Unions in the economy of a country (10) 2.1 Before one can compile a cash flow plan, there are specific steps to be taken.

QUESTION 1 [20]

Reasons Why Most Businesses Fail:

1. Lack of Planning: Many entrepreneurs start businesses without a solid business
plan outlining goals, target markets, finances, and strategies.

keeping proper records lead to financial collapse.
3. Inadequate Market Research: Businesses fail when they don’t understand their
customers' needs or the competitive landscape.
4. Ineffective Marketing: Failing to market effectively leads to low brand
awareness and poor sales.
5. Lack of Leadership Skills: Inability to manage people, make decisions, and
inspire teams contributes to failure.
6. Underestimating Competition: Entrepreneurs who ignore competitors often fail
to stay relevant.
7. Failure to Adapt: Resistance to change and innovation prevents businesses
from evolving with market trends.
8. Insufficient Capital: Many businesses start with inadequate funding and
struggle to sustain operations.
9. Poor Customer Service: Businesses that neglect customer satisfaction lose
clients quickly.
10. Legal and Regulatory Issues: Non-compliance with legal requirements can lead
