Suicide - a global overview and focus on the South African situation
- Authors: Alonso-Betancourt, O

- Description: As a medical doctor you learn how to deal with death and you feel that your duty is to encourage people to fight against illness for their lives but, when you face suicide, you feel defenseless because it is the person him or herself who chooses to die. Another reason for choosing this topic is that I’m advocating the development and implementation of a Suicide Prevention Program in South Africa and this could be a good forum to talk about this important issue.

Key drivers of change and their implications for Construction Management in the next decade: an eclectic approach
- Authors: Shakantu, Winston
- Subjects: Change , Construction industry , f-sa
- Language: English
- Type: text , Lectures
- Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10948/20912 , vital:29416
- Description: I chose to look at ‘key drivers of change’ as change is the only constant in our lives; its winds keep blowing in perpetuity. Drivers of change are factors that induce or compel organisations to modify their actions in response to change. The drivers of change originate mainly in the macro-environment and in most cases in the micro-environment. As for why ‘implications for construction management research’ it is because of the four areas of responsibility for an academic, that is, Teaching, Research, Engagement and Administration, research informs all the four. Therefore, it seems to be the logical departure point for a professorial exposition.
