...education as strategic tools for poverty alleviation in Nigeria. Using a stratified random sampling technique, 250 entrepreneurs and apprenticeships from five recognized local government areas in Lagos state, South Western Nigeria were selected as our respondents. Data were gathered through a self-monitored questionnaire survey. Simple regression analysis was used to test the relationship between the entrepreneurship training and education and poverty alleviation. Two hypotheses were postulated to determine the relationship between technical skill and youth empowerment and between personal entrepreneurial skill and social welfare services. This study confirmed that entrepreneurship training and education are significantly related to the youth empowerment and social welfare services. Findings revealed that youth empowerment are influenced by their acquired technical skill. The study recommends effective technical education, youth empowerment, and social welfare service as a catalyst for poverty alleviation. Keywords: Entrepreneurship, Poverty Alleviation, Education. INTRODUCTION In Nigeria and other African countries, poverty is described as a socio-economic problem that affects growth and development in the region. The government...

...e-commerce, virtual organizations, and six sigma to name a few. In order for companies to survive and thrive, they must continually adapt to the market or make internal improvements of service or culture The Encyclopedia of Business defines an organizational structure as "comprised of functions, relationships, responsibilities, authorities, and communications of individuals within each department." An organizational chart is often used to provide a visual representation of a program's structure. Having a clear structure is critical for employees to know how their job relates to others in the department as well as to the institution's mission and goals. Source : by Dr. Betsy Alden Originally printed in Athletic Management, 22.05 August/September 2010 Organizational structure refers to the way that an organization arranges people and jobs so that its work can be performed and its goals can be met. When a work group is very small and face-to-face communication is frequent, formal structure may be unnecessary, but in a larger organization decisions have to be made about the delegation of various tasks. Thus, procedures are established that assign responsibilities for various functions. It is these decisions that determine the organizational structure. In an organization of any size or complexity, employees' responsibilities typically are defined by what they do, who they report to, and for managers, who reports to them. Over time these definitions are assigned to positions in the...

...Gender Discrimination: Abstract: Gender discrimination is a non-tradition security threat to Pakistan and it has implications for Pakistan security. Pakistani women are more than half of the total population, but women are treated inhumanly within their homes by their husbands or dominant males through different ways like Domestic Violence, Sawara, Vani, Karo Kari, Honour Killing, Acid Throwing, Forced Marriages etc. Gender discrimination is also deeply rooted in Pakistani society in education and employment sectors. The security of a state like Pakistan is connected with the security of whole population and a country cannot be considered secure until its whole population feel secure. For the progress and prosperity of a country there is needed to eliminate the discriminatory attitude of the society towards the women. There are multiple ways to improve gender balance in the country which will reduce gender discrimination. Key Words: Gender Discrimination, Education Sector, Employment Sector, Gender and Human Security. I. Introduction This study discusses gender discrimination as „non-traditional security‟ threat to the country. It argues that women are more than half of the population and the security of women is associated with state security. This is so because no country can be secure until its whole population feels secure. Pakistan needs to empower its women for the progress and prosperity of a country. Balance has been maintained by...

...Zero Time Organization: Changing How Businesses and Consumers Interact In the Technology Age Zero Time Organization: Changing How Businesses and Consumers Interact In the Technology Age Our world is changing in drastic ways and companies are starting to address these changes in ways that were previously unthinkable. While many companies are falling behind the time, due to being mired in old methods, other companies are stepping up to embrace new technology and new business models. One of the predominant new business models available is zero time organization. Using this model, a company is able to surpass the competition and distinguish itself by building value with their customers. Zero Time Organization Defined Zero Time Organization is defined as an organization designed around responding instantly to customers, employees, suppliers, and other stakeholder demands. (Pearlson & Saunders, 2012) According to Keri Pearlson and Carol Saunders, in Managing and Using Information systems, zero time organizations must master five key principles: * Instant value alignment * Instant learning * Instant involvement * Instant adaptation, and * Instant execution These key principles can also be described as: * Zero-value-gaps * Zero-learning-gaps * Zero-management-gaps * Zero-process-gaps, and * Zero-inclusion-gaps (Yeh & Pearlson, 1998) For the purposes of this paper, the names on the second list of principles will be used.

...The manufacturing TQM and service quality literatures: synergistic or conflicting paradigms? Rhian Silvestro Warwick Business School, University of Warwick, Warwick, UK Introduction Although most of the exponents of TQM explicitly claim that TQM is transferable to services, the precepts and practices have been derived from the experience of consultants and practitioners in manufacturing. Both the US and Japanese “gurus” focus and address their work primarily to manufacturers, with application of TQM in services only given secondary attention. As Albrecht (Albrecht and Bradford, 1990) puts it, these contributors “were born in a manufacturing era, and they have a predominantly manufacturing mindset at their foundation”. Yet, despite its manufacturing origins, both academics and practitioners have, over the past 15 years, been concerned to apply and transfer TQM principles and practices to services. However, the inadequacy of the literature in guiding service managers and transferring the TQM principles, management tools and techniques to service environments has become a familiar theme (see for example, Albrecht and Bradford, 1990; Feigenbaum, 1988; Ghobadian and Speller, 1994). Many of the tools and techniques are quantitative and have limited application in service environments where the deliverables are often intangible, heterogeneous and their consumption and delivery simultaneous. In part no doubt to address this deficiency, the service quality literature has evolved over...

...Ongoing Concern: Risk Management at Pakistan International Airlines1 Ch. Ahmed Mukhtar, Chairman Pakistan International Airline Corporation (PIAC) was reading the final version of the PIAC audited annual report. He immediately called the Managing Director, PIAC to arrange a meeting to discuss the auditor’s report. The particular part of auditors’ opinion that caught his attention was the following: “We draw attention to note 1.2 to the unconsolidated financial statements, which states that the Corporation incurred a loss of Rs. 26,767.207 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, resulting in accumulated loss of Rs. 119,016.727 million as of December 31, 2011, and as of that date, the Corporation’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by Rs. 88,221.403 million. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty which may cast doubt about the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our opinion is not qualified in respect of this matter.” The agenda of the meeting was quite clear i.e., how to keep PIA solvent. PIAC Brief History2: In 1946 Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah realized the need for an airline network for the forming country and ask for the help of an industrialist Mirza Ahmad Ispahani to develop a flag carrier for the nation. Meanwhile, an airline called “Orient Airways”', registered in Calcutta, was formed on 23 October 1946. In May 1947 the airline was granted a license to fly. This was the first post-war airline flight...

...Success of Microfinance in Bangladesh: Its Determinants, Impacts & Challenges Chapter- One Introduction 1.1 Introduction: In recent years, microcredit, in its wider dimension known as microfinance, has become a much favored intervention for poverty alleviation in the developing countries and least development countries. There is scarcely a poor country and development oriented donor agency (multilateral, bilateral and private) not involved in the promotion (in one form or other) of a microfinance program. Microfinance programs claim many achievements as its impact and an outside observer cannot but wonder at the range of diversity of the benefits claimed. Although Bangladesh has huge potential for development, it is, for various socio-economic reasons, among the poorest countries in the world. About half of the country's population lives below the poverty line with 80% in the rural areas. The burden of poverty falls disproportionately on women, who constitute half of the total population. Logically, therefore, poverty alleviation and creation of rural employment are top priorities in the development agenda of the government of Bangladesh (GOB) which has adopted a broad based approach to poverty alleviation, emphasizing macroeconomic stability, economic liberalization, and support for a number of government agencies and non-government organizations (NGOs). Substantial progress has been made in implementing the microcredit program (MCP), and the scope for its efficient...
