SynopsisThis paper summarises the findings of recent research carried out into the effectiveness of strategic planning in the South African building materials industry. There appear to be four reasons why companies in the industry should urgently reassess their attitude towards the practice of strategic planning: 1. The present openness amongst authorities in accepting new and innovative building materials.2. The change in Government policy towards housing urban blacks.3. The increased concentration and sophistication of customer groupings.4. The demise of price control over building materials.These developments are believed to be changing the traditional rules of the game, making the industry far more competitive. Formalised strategic planning might have been a luxury in the past. It is, however, an imperative for the future.

Portfolio theory is an elegant but useless creature with a prodigious appetite for data. It is the sterile offspring of an unlikely marriage of finance and mathematics.
投资组合理论是一种优雅但无用的生物,对数据有着惊人的胃口。它是金融和数学不太可能结合的产物。

1 ABSTRACTThe question is occasionally asked whether the investment yield achieved on the assets of a pension fund in South Africa is liable to be influenced, adversely or otherwise, by the size of the fund's assets.Statistical tests conducted overseas have tended to suggest that there is no noticeable correlation between size and yield. Nevertheless it seemed that an investigation could with advantage be carried out on the basis of South African conditions, to establish whether any different result would emerge here.This paper sets out the results of such an investigation. They point to the same general conclusions as those arrived at overseas, but in the process certain pertinent questions arise.
