: Chalk and talk have been replaced by innovative methods of student engagement in higher education. Current research reports use of Tadawul’s trading simulator, which captures the student’s learning experience on usage of trade simulation. Fourteen undergraduate (finance track) students participated in this game over a period of 60 days. Survey results revealed that students had positive learning experience through experiential learning. 86% of the students strongly agreed that simulation helped to understand the concepts better and they enjoyed the activity. 79% of the students were in strong agreement with their group activity for simulation. 64% students strongly agreed in terms of perception of realism and employability. Students suggested increasing the time period, replacing the traditional exam by the simulation to be used as assessment technique. Overall, simulation has built better understanding of concept of finance through concrete experience of reflective observation and ability to solve complex finance problems.

The paper examines how some factors embedded in the cultural and institutional framework in Sub-Saharan African organisations interact with global perspectives and the degree of resistance they present to changes in human resource management (HRM) processes. The paper considers aspects of the universalistic perspectives that have resonance for human resource practices in Africa. Furthermore, it evaluates the question of the tensions between the contributions derived from indigenous and historical factors, and the inputs from external sources, to human resource management in Africa. The research is based on a survey among 100 practicing African HRM professionals drawn from the major institutional actors in Nigeria. The research found that, despite the impact of globalisation and the Westernisaion of training and development in Africa, HRM practices remain largely culture-bound. Many aspects of Sub-Saharan African cultures pervade organisational processes, e.g. collectivism and paternalism, that ‘refuse’ to make way for change. However, the paper concludes that some of these temerarious cultural aspects - often described as counter-productive in much of the literature - could be utilised for community and employee engagement. The paper makes a significant contribution to the literature on HRM practices in Africa, an area under-researched. It provides an opportunity for African HR managers to be more pragmatic in identifying the contextual issues and begin to identify aspects of African culture that could be value-adding in a fast-changing management landscape. The paper demonstrates that HRM policies have specific cultural orientations and reflect the societal predispositions of the region; this exemplifies how cultural paradigms, the political sphere and organisational life are intertwined in an African context.
