Organisational environment. The organisational environment is largely affected by the external business environment. After a decade of economic weakness the economic downgrade and the COVID-19 global pandemic have exacerbated the depressed economy. The projected future demand for minerals in the medium to long term bodes very well for Mintek in future but this is not anticipated to have a positive impact in the next year or two. The policy inertia and uncertainty that have constrained investment and confidence, especially for the mining sector, had begun to lift however, the impact of the investment downgrade and the COVID -19 pandemic have resulted in a continued reluctance to invest in new capacity. Mintek’s revenue is generated mainly from three revenue streams: state grants, the sale of products and services, and contract research. The work undertaken under the products and services and the contract research streams is collectively referred to as commercial revenue, and comes mainly from the sector through the deployment of Mintek’s technology and providing consulting services based on Xxxxxx’s technical expertise. Mintek aims for a balance ratio of 50:50 when comparing state funding and commercial research. This ratio is currently 70:30 in favour of state funding. Even though state funding in the form of the MTEF has increased over the years, commercial revenue has decreased sharply. Xxxxxx’s revenue, in real terms, has not grown in the previous five years. In fact, its baseline has been decreasing, while additional funding on specific projects has been increasing, making it difficult for the organisation to plan in the long term. This negative growth is exacerbated even further by the ever-increasing operational expenditure, of which employee compensation is the main contributor. The medium to long term positive outlook of the mining sector is expected to ultimately reverse the decline of over a decade in Mintek’s commercial revenue, but this is not going to show significant impact for another few years. Also the investment downgrade and the Covid -19 pandemic has resulted in a decline in state funding arising from the fiscal constraint and changing priorities of government. It is important that Xxxxxx’s research priorities are aligned to government priorities in order to maintain or attract other government-related funding. The Mintek of the future requires the right balance of skills to attract state funding and support efficiency and new investments in the minerals sector. W...
