Abstract

There is an overall lack of information on the interaction between state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and small and medium enterprises (SME) that provide services to SOEs, with the exception of larger SOEs, such as Eskom, Telkom, Transnet and the Post Office. Johan Viljoen looked at the question of the role SOEs can play in the development of SMEs.
