| dc.description.abstract | ABSTRACT Effective state-business relations have the potential to make a positive contribution to economic development and growth. One of the key factors that impacts on the nature of the interactions between governments and business is the sharing of information. Information must flow in both directions if there is to be a shared common vision for development. There are challenges for a government to engage directly with individual firms, and the results has been a proliferation of business associations. Umbrella or apex private sector organisations tend to include policy engagement as a key objective, including in the area of trade. The case study of the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SACCI) illustrates the various mechanisms for information exchange and exchange and the vested interests involved. There are a number of ways in which information could be encouraged to flow more effectively between the South African government and apex bodies such as SACCI. | en_ZA |
