Long term Financing and Development of Small and Medium Enterprises in Uganda: A case study of MPK GRAPHICS

Author (s): 

Sabiiti Mulema

Abstract

The study intended to identify how long-term financing influences development of Small and Medium enterprises (SMEs). It focused on MPK Graphics as a case study. The purpose of the study was to establish the impact of long-term financing on development of SMEs in Uganda. The research design was descriptive and the study used both quantitative and qualitative research approach. Stratified and purposive samplings were used to select respondents. The data collected was analyzed using SPSS version 22.0. Descriptive analysis was used to draw the picture of the respondents, Pearson correlation was used to test the relationship between the study variables, while regression analysis was used to test the effect between the variables of the study. Therefore, factor analysis was employed to determine long-term financing dimensions in small and medium enterprises in Uganda. The major findings of the study were that there was a positive relationship between Long term financing and Development of SMEs in Uganda (r = 0.751, P-value < 0.01); a positive relationship between financial performance and Development of SMEs in Uganda (r = 0.436, P-value < 0.01) and showed (R= 0.810) in a combination of Long term financing, financial performance in assessing the level to which they can predict the level of Development of SMEs in Uganda. These variables explained 59.7 per cent of the variance of Development of SMEs (R Square =.597). The most influential predictor of Development of SMEs was Long term financing (β = .622, Sig. 294). Long-term finance frequently defined as all funding for a time frame exceeding one year may contribute to faster growth, greater welfare, shared prosperity, and enduring stability in two important ways: by reducing rollover risks for borrowers, thereby lengthening the horizon of investments and improving performance.

Key words: Long-term Financing, Small and Medium Enterprises, SME Development, MPK GRPHICS, Uganda.

Geotechnical Characterization for Slope Stability Analyses of Noseri and Sandhok Landslides

Author (s): 

Raja Khurram Mahmood Khan, Md Nasir Uddin, Fahad Saleem, Zeeshan khan

Abstract

Landslide is a global geological hazard because of its high frequency and wide loss distribution. Two major landslides situated in Azad Kashmir along Neelum valley road were selected for this study. The region has active faults, experienced earthquakes, heavy rain, and snowfall. Consequently, landslides have caused many deaths in the past decades and have frequently damaged roads, infrastructures, agricultural lands, and dense forest cover. The present study deals with geotechnical studies of soil and rock for pre-stability analyses of the Noseri and Sandhok landslides with a special focus to find out the reasons for slope failure. Finally, remedial measures for landslide stability are put forward. The study includes field investigations, comprising site geomorphology and characteristics of each site, and laboratory tests involving physical and engineering properties of soil. The results show that rainfall has no obvious effect on the landslides, whereas varying temperature has a little impact on their failure. It is concluded that the instability of Noseri landslide may be related to seismic activities, and slope failure occurs along the active fault zones as it lies along the hanging wall of the thrust fault (MBT). While, Sandhok landslide may be caused by fractures and cracks occurred under tectonic stresse.

Key words: landslide; geotechnical studies; pre-stability analyses; slope failure; seismic activities.

An Analysis of the Impact of GDP, Trade openness, Inflation rate and Market size in Attracting Inward FDI in Bangladesh Based on Empirical Analysis

Author (s): 

Md Kamrul Hasan & Nurun Nahar Nishi

Abstract

This study aims to find out the impact of different variables like MKTS, GDP, TO and INFR in attracting FDI in Bangladesh. Using various statistical test like Augmented Dickey- Fuller (ADF) Unit Root Test, Phillips- Perron (PP) Unit Root Test, Granger Casuality Test & Ordinary Least Square Method (OLS Method), this research has found that some variables has positive influence in attracting FDI in Bangladesh where some variables has negative relation with FDI. Data has been analyzed by EViews in OSL regression method and it is found that OLS regression is 0.924341 that indicates 92% representing the variation in independent variables can explain 92% variation in attracting inward FDI. P value for MKTS and GDP is less that 5% that means MKTS and GDP has an impact on FDI and they are statistically significant. OLS regression analysis for another two variables- TO and INFR is not statistically significant as the P value is greater than 5% but they have negative relationship with FDI.   This study is actually to make up a decision whether the variables can accelerate the trend of attracting FDI in respect of Bangladesh. Furthermore, this research will show the way to government how to deal with the investors. Therefore , this study is needed to sort the present economic situation of Bangladesh & figure out the most probable reasons & technique to attract more FDI in the country with future research in this field.

Key words: Bangladesh, Foreign Direct Investment, Positive influence, EViews, OSL method, GDP.

Author (s): 

Maksura Akter, Mahtab Uddin, and Mohammad Jakaria

Abstract

We examine the effect of part-time employment on students’ academic performance using primary data collected from randomly selected 108 students of Hajee Mohammad Danesh Science and Technology University (HSTU), Dinajpur. We estimate the impact of both work participation and work intensity of student involved in part time job on academic performance using ordinary least square (OSL) method. The regression results show that there is a significant negative relationship between work participation and academic performance of the students. Further, it was observed that the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) declines with increment hours in part time employment.

The Impact of Management Styles on Business Decision Making: Exploring the Different Models of Decision Making

Author (s): 

Alaegbu Anastecia Nkeiru & Barisua Fortune Nwinee

Abstract

Decision-making is fundamentally a function of a company’s top members’ prerogative. Any success attributable to an organization depends wholly on the choice of its management styles and their grasp of administrative decisions and approaches to decision-making. Decision makers therefore, need to understand the concepts that ensure rationality and effectiveness in decisions; clarity in decision, time, work, and implementation and in follow-up evaluation needs to be taking into cognizance. Any style so adopted by management is seen to be the adhesive that binds diverse operations and functions together. It is the philosophy or set of principles by which the manager leverages on the workforce. Every organizations needs a better insight on the approach managers adopts in solving real life organization’s problems. This paper is a theoretical paper and accessed and explored related literature. The research demonstrated that there are series of management styles which influence decision making styles. Hence, the paper concluded that; management style suggestively affects the degree of decisions made by both individual employees and the management team in an organization.

Author (s): 

Godwin Orakpowenri Orovwiroro & Barisua Fortune Nwinee

Abstract

Managerial economics as a field of study has become popular in recent times as a result of the increasing variability of business environments. Business organizations’ demand for tools that will aid them in making informed decisions in an environment characterized by change and competition has become increasingly prevalent. This study theoretically examines the relationship between managerial economics and business strategies formulation and identified eight different strategy methods that form the basis for smart decision-making processes for managers who aim to increase their profitability, market share and competitiveness. In establishing the link between these two concepts – both which are essential for a company to grow, thrive and compete in an environment of uncertainties in the business world, the study identified the critical elements managers need for achieving its goals and optimizing its financial success. Practically, this study would expose top managers on how to strategically plan organizational programs no matter how small because no organizational program is insignificant.

Key words: Managerial Economics, Business Strategies Formulation, Implications, Decision-making, Uncertainties.

On-farm Phenotypic Characterization of Ogaden Cattle Breed in Gode District of Somali Regional State in Ethiopia

Author (s): 

Asefa Masha Mengesha

Abstract

The study was conducted in Gode District in Somali regional state in Ethiopia to describe phenotypic characterization of the breed on its natural production environment. The interview was addressed to 126 households who keep cattle for multi-purposes.  Data on qualitative and quantitative traits collected from 612 cattle for five-month. The majority of body conformation of the breed indicated that the females were dairy type while males were beef type. The major coat color was white for female but white-black shade for male population. Female population has small erect hump largely positioned cervico-thoracic whilst males have medium to large erect hump positioned thoracic. The mean height at wither, heart girth, flank girth and the body length for female were 112.66 cm, 161.20 cm, 162.10 cm and 121.28 cm, respectively while as for male were 123.18 cm, 170.91 cm, 169.20 cm and 125.16 cm, respectively. The mean daily milk yield in the study area was 2.72 kg. The mean age at calving was 53.39 months having good mothering feature. The mean age at which the males were allowed to mate was 54.87 months. Based on the findings, it was concluded that distinct phenotypic characteristics can be observed among individuals of different sex within the breed on its natural production environment. Also, the breed has distinct phenotypic characteristics with a better on-farm performance compared to some other east African zebu type.

Gender Impact on Execution of Business Strategy for Effective Economic Performance in Nigeria

Author (s): 

Titilola I. Egbuwe &  Barisua F. Nwinee

Abstract

This paper explores the differences adduced in literature between the females and the males’ sexes regarding their aptitudes in executing impactful business strategies to effectively advance economic performance in Nigeria. Extant literature produced significant gender variant strategies regarding policies execution in meeting with organizational objectives. However, this was reviewed to validate the proposition that performance is not limited to gender but an integration of some identified five taxonomies implicit in strategy execution; the dimensions of rules, emotions, initiatives, immediate action and integrity. We further explored the frontiers of gender management by examining specific factors of various dimensions of strategy execution in the context of whether or not gender has an impact on economic performance. Remarkably, attempts were made to obviate the inclination on gender as inappropriate in determining performance to organizational practices. Literature indicated that both women and men seemed individually inspired by a blend of push and pull factors. This study proves its contribution by stating that despite the empirical evidences in male-female differences in problem-solving abilities, analytical skills, competitive drive, enthusiasm, civility, or learning abilities. An integration of a proportionate gender synthesis will function more effectively in the execution of a business stratagem. The modern society thinking is therefore eroding on the earlier boundaries set between life style and achievement of both sexes.

Key words: Gender, Execution, Strategy, Taxonomies, Performance.

Author (s): 

Tracy Wangechi Maina & Jackson Ndolo

Abstract

Online shopping has become a major trend in the 21^st Century. In order for a business to achieve success in this line of sales, it is highly important to know the customer’s requirements and provide the suitable offers in the appropriate time. The innovation of online shopping is encouraged by consumers as well as retailers. In view of that, understanding the behaviors of consumers in relation to decision making becomes a critical issue for retailers. There are various aspects that are unique with regards to online purchases and decision-making. They include price sensitivity and brand choice. In addition to that, it is worth noting that a number of motivation aspects, including situational elements, product features, and the experience of former e-shopping can affect the attitudes of customers to buy online. Notably, in the past decade, a drastic change in consumer purchasing behavior can be observed as shopping patterns have been altered. Despite the fact that individuals continue to buy from a physical store, others perceive online shopping as a very convenient method. This is because purchasing through the internet frees significant time that a customer can use to personally visit a shop. Moreover, online shopping has certain benefits including saving time and effort in making decisions and purchasing items. People can make search a variety of options at the comfort of their homes and compare prices easily in a bid to arrive at a preferred decision. This study is an empirical paper that reviews various available online literature to analyze the decision to purchase online or not.

Riki Perdana, Avid Wahyu, & Heru Kuswanto

Abstract

There are many difficult topics to teach directly in physics learning. Some concepts are abstract or difficult to show one by one. Not a few studies that use applications or media that serves to help the learning process. However, most of the media is offered use some of the most complex and complicated new apps. Even sometimes it’s make difficult for teachers. To overcome this, this study offers learning media using spreadsheets that simple and easy. Topics in this study is simple harmonic motion in physics lessons. The method is used VBA in Microsoft Excel. Sample of this research were 86 student on pre service students from Tanjungpura University. They were given a task to make this simulation and interviewed as randomly to know their motivation on physics learning. As the result, we created a studying media to simulate harmonic wave motion that can be varied according to the needs of teachers during the learning process. Their motivation also increase to learn more about physics simulation. The practical application of this paper is helping teacher to teach physics more effective especially in visualizing of simple harmonic motion.

Author (s): 

Tanjia Binte Zafar, Wenguang Ding, Ghulam Murtaza Khan, Li He & Chen Hao

Abstract

Sustainable development can be achieved by developing the surrounding environment and by adapting climate change. This paper aims to explain the environmental protection and climate change adaption strategies taken by the Government of Bangladesh and the Bangladeshi nationalities in a different context to attain sustainable development.  This paper based on empirical and theoretical data sources. Bangladesh significantly keeps on the good sign to achieve sustainable development by banning three-wheeler from controlling air pollution and by banning non-degradable polythene bags. If Bangladesh can overcome the challenges by implementing environment protection strategies the day is not so far when Bangladesh will be a developed country by becoming a role model for other developing countries.

The Impact of FOCAC on African countries Trade Flows

Author (s): 

Elias Ellias Tsokalida & Yang Jun

Abstract

One of the fundamental questions in international trade literature is whether “with whom countries conduct their trade with” matters for their respective trade flows. This paper examined the impact of trading with China on African countries’ trade flows. We proxy Africa-China partnership using membership in Forum for China – Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) framework. We also examined whether one country membership in FOCAC has trade creating advantages on its trade flows and whether two countries’ membership in FOCAC has trade creating advantages as well. Our study period is from 1990 to 2018 using a sample of 150 countries. We estimated our framework using panel data fixed effects methodology. We found that FOCAC has positive and significant impacts on both exports and imports in African countries. We found trade diversion effects of either one or both countries membership in FOCAC for our imports equation. For our export equation, we found that one country membership in FOCAC has trade creation impacts while two countries being members of FOCAC has trade diversion impacts. We conducted our robust estimation using Pseudo Poisson maximum likelihood estimation and found comparable results for our study.  These findings may enable authorities in Africa, China and beyond to strategize on how their countries should position themselves in terms of industry structure to maximize their benefits as well as sensitizing both their producers and consumers on how they can take advantage of trade preferences offered.

Potential Health Risk of Indoor air Pollution on Human Health in Residential Houses of Chittagong city, Bangladesh

Author (s): 

Sohana Yeasmin Metu & Ibrahim Khan

Abstract

Indoor air pollution has become one of the biggest threats to human in recent years. Study by EPA on human exposure to pollutants indicates that indoor levels of pollutants could be 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor pollutant levels.  The objective of this study is to find out indoor air pollution sources and pollutants in the residential houses of Chittagong city and their impacts on the inhabitant’s health. Surveys were conducted on 30 different residential houses which include apartment houses, tin shade houses and slum houses. The possible health hazards associated with the pollutants were identified using books, journals, and literatures. The study suggests exposure to indoor air pollutants such as asbestos, VOCs, carbon monoxide, NOx, SOx, Particulate matter, mold, virus, bacteria and many more. The health hazards due to these indoor air pollutants may range from less severe headache to severe disease cancer. Alternatives to reduce the exposure to  these harmful indoor pollutant sources could be using environmental friendly products for housing, lessening use of chemicals, using improved kitchen stoves, introducing hygiene, planting indoor plants and ensuring proper ventilation. Hence, illustrating the condition of indoor air quality of the residential houses in Chittagong city, the paper would serve understanding of the issue and would help to reduce exposure and health risk.

Author (s): 

Paschal Onugha   and B. Chima Onuoha

Abstract

The study investigated the relationship between change management and organizational effectiveness in the Nigerian maritime industry. The study used emergent change as a dimension for change management while organizational effectiveness was measured using corporate growth and employee commitment. The study adopted the cross sectional survey method, which is a form of the quasi experimental research design. A population element of 1651 was drawn from the 33 selected indigenous maritime companies in Nigeria. The Krejcie and Morgan (1970) table was used to arrive at a sample size of 327. The questionnaire was mainly used as instrument for data collection. The pearson moment correlation was used to test our hypotheses. The findings revealed that there exist a positive and significant relationship between emergent change and organizational effectiveness measured with employee commitment and corporate growth. We concluded that organizations with absorbtive capacities could turn changes into their favour if the system is built to withstand emergent environmental dynamism. We recommended that organizations should invest more in self building and self sustainability as a caution for these disruptive change which in some cases work to the advantage of the organization that exploits it.

Key words: : Change management, organizational effectiveness, emergent change, corporate growth and employee commitment.

Impact of Exchange rate volatility on Global Value Chains Participation

Evidence from panel African countries

Author (s): 

Gilhaimé MOUANDA-MOUANDA

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of exchange rate volatility on global value chain participation within a panel of 25 African countries. The main result reveals that there is an adverse effect. When exchange rate volatility interacts with activities in upstreamness, we notice that the impact on GVC participation is significantly positive unlike the association between exchange rate fluctuation and sectors in downstreamness. The paper sheds some light on the role played by the currency union to promote trade in value-added. It is clearly shown that African countries which are non-members of a currency union have better performance in global value chain participation. These findings may enable, on the one hand, authorities in charge of monetary policy to implement strategies of mitigating this harmful impact on trade in value-added. On the other hand, it is worthwhile to in-depth the understanding of factors likely to distort trade performance within States members of a currency union particularly in the context of cross-border production-sharing activities.

Key words: exchange rate volatility; global value chains; currency union; African countries.

Mohamed Elshafei Eltayeb Habiballa

Abstract

A number of bacteria have now become antibiotic-resistant. This increases the importance of UTI drugs. We report, here, the activity of ethanol extract, of Quercus infectoria galls against UTI pathogens . antibacterial activity of ethanolic extract. Quercus infectoria from Sudan market was macerated with ethanol 85 %, fractionated by colum chromatography using benzene ethyl acetate, ethanol, and 70% ethanol. Phytochemical analysis of the extracts revealed the presence of antimicrobial active agents such as Alkaloids, Phenols ,Glycosides, Flavonoids, Saponins, and Tannins and then were subjected to chemical compound analysis Phytochemical screening, total phenolic content, total flavonoids content, and total tannins content were obtained. Eschericia coli shown resistance to Ciprofloxacin except Gentamicin and Proteus mirabilis shown resistance Trimethoprim while Staphylococcus aureus, Eschericia coli , Proteus mirabilis, Bacillus subtilis shown sensitivity to the crude extract and all the fractions except for concentrations of serial dilution, Eschericia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Proteus mirabilis, Bacillus subtilis the results were exhibited a high activity (MIZD) against Proteus mirabilis (19 mm) and Klebsiella pneumoniae (20 mm )have shown highly sensitivity the Quercus infectoria extract while Eschericia coli have shown moderate sensitivity ( 17 mm) Staphylococcus aureus (12mm) shown low
