Gencor
Article Abstract:
Gencor has undergone a transformation since the late 1980s, becoming South Africa's first mining group to unbundle its non-core operations and refocus. Gencor Chmn Brian Gilbertson says the strategy stemmed from a realisation that South Africa itself was being transformed, and a belief that foreign investors would therefore become more interested in South African firms. Gencor's aim was to become a world-class mining firm, and to this end disposed of its non-mining related assets, cut head office staff numbers and made two major purchases: RandCoal and Billiton.

The previously-prepared position
Article Abstract:
The psychic distress associated with retirement cannot be anticipated, defined, and handled in the same manner as loss of income. Corporate efforts to protect the retiree from psychic as well as financial retirement trauma are characterized as 'misdirected'. It is suggested that the retiree ignore the advice of those who would have them maintain an accustomed schedule of work, play, and sleep time. The value of leisure and idleness is extolled.
