Pan-Pacific Conference XXXIV. Designing New Business Models in Developing Economies

used. The construction of government-funded
industrial parks should make a provision for
production space for small manufacturing
cooperatives in the interest of revitalizing industries
in S.A. and in order to create employment as well as
an inclusive economy [35]. Correctly located
production facilities will also enable the sewing
cooperatives to attract new clients, adopt new
sewing technology and also access suppliers
promptly. Enforcement of work ethic among
members also requires that facilities be encouraging
to work from. Finally, location is a challenging
decision for a small business. However, incubators
offer great support, knowledge and the technical
know-how which makes them attractive to offering
assistance with facilities for start-up manufacturing
enterprises and sharing of facilities by cooperatives
is key as they serve social objectives and they may
leverage one another when sharing a production
facility when space is sufficient to do so; this also
refers to the growing need for inter co-operative
cooperation.
