Dear Sanjay, thanks for the support.
A view of Technopark by international media.
Dr Barnard is a senior lecturer at the Gordon Institute of Business Science, University of Pretoria.He suggests South African companies to emulate technopark companies
A story of remarkable success. More than 100 firms have located in the
Technopark. We are about to visit
a film animation firm with more than 450 employees.
In its five-year history, it has grown dramatically and has secured contracts with leading film companies.
-----
The back room of the facility, where the 3D animators work on personal computers, more closely resembles our stereotypes of high technology. This is where experienced animators get promoted.
This firm
sees quality, not low-cost labour, as
its competitive advantage.
It is situated in a science park with large gardens, a cafeteria and gym, and it hires only graduates, preferably finance graduates.
In the next several years, the South African companies that find ways to identify and develop the potential of underskilled employees will have a substantial advantage over their competitors.
An animation firm in Kerala has already found one way of achieving that goal.
