The main objective of this study is to describe the characteristics of Cameroonian entrepreneurs. Using a descriptive research design, the study collected 150 questionnaires through the purposive and referral (snowball) sampling techniques. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse and present collected data. The result of the study reveals that most Cameroonian entrepreneurs are dominantly Optimistic in nature and have a fighting spirit to see that their ventures survive and grow in the midst of the many challenges that surround them such as disturbance from local council agents and taxation agents, high taxes, inflation, the socio-political crisis, unsafety, power outages, lack of subventions, bad roads. They are also hardworking, generous, trustworthy, gentlemanly, sceptical, ambitious, risk bearers, confident, customer service providers, determined, discrete, dynamic, focused, goal getters, innovative, motivated, profit conscious, realistic, self-confident, strategic, time conscious, visionary. It can also be concluded that the majority of entrepreneurs in Cameroon are below forty-two (42) years, they are mostly male, married, have at least a Bachelor degree, schooled in government schools, are not very bold about their political affiliations and are not very inclined to the practice of their traditions.
本研究的主要目的是描述喀麦隆企业家的特点。本研究采用描述性研究设计,通过目的抽样和推荐(滚雪球)抽样技术收集了 150 份问卷。研究采用描述性统计来分析和呈现收集到的数据。研究结果表明,大多数喀麦隆企业家都是乐观主义者,他们有一种拼搏精神,希望自己的企业在面临诸多挑战的情况下能够生存和发展,这些挑战包括地方议会和税务人员的干扰、高税收、通货膨胀、社会政治危机、不安全、停电、缺乏补助金、道路状况差等。他们还勤劳、慷慨、值得信赖、有绅士风度、持怀疑态度、雄心勃勃、敢于承担风险、自信、为客户提供服务、果断、离散、充满活力、专注、目标明确、勇于创新、积极进取、利润意识强、现实、自信、有战略眼光、有时间观念、有远见。还可以得出这样的结论:喀麦隆大多数企业家的年龄在 42 岁以下,他们大多为男性,已婚,至少拥有学士学位,在公立学校接受教育,对自己的政治派别不是很大胆,也不太倾向于奉行自己的传统。

Descriptive and inferential statistics were used through SPSS version 25 to analyse data. Findings reveal that there is a positive and significant relationship between leadership styles and organizational performance in small businesses studied. Results further reveal that democratic leadership styles do not have a positive effect on organizational performance while authoritarian and transformational leadership style has a positive and significant impact on organisational performance. It was recommended that managers in small and medium size organisations use authoritarian and transformational leadership styles in order to increase performance.

Benue State comprises diverse communities, each facing unique socio-economic challenges including poverty. This study examined the impact of social capital on poverty reduction in Benue State, Nigeria. A survey research design was adopted for the study. Primary data was collected from 6 Local Government Areas of Benue State. Logit binary regression analysis was used to estimate variables used in the study in relation to its effect on poverty reduction. All variables tested improved Benue state poverty except political party membership and involvement. The results revealed that cooperative society participation, social media involvement, rural group membership, and social club membership has the tendency to reduce poverty by 50% to 68% in Benue State. Overall, with an R-square value of 0.870, there is a strong positive linear relationship between the variables. Social capital may reducepoverty based on community trust, social connection, and socioeconomic context. Addressing inequalities and distributing incentives equitably is crucial to improving social capital.

The Nigerian manufacturing industry significantly influences national economic diversification and growth. However, it faces several challenges, including insufficient infrastructure, talent shortages, and foreign direct investment. The study investigates how KM processes impact innovation in the Nigerian industry. We surveyed 424 manufacturers and found that better KM processes (acquisition, creation, application, and sharing) lead to improved innovation implementation. The results demonstrated that KM processes considerably impacted innovation implementation in the Nigerian manufacturing sector. Knowledge acquisition, creation, application, sharing, and storage all have a favourable effect on innovation implementation ability. The findings emphasise the significance of adequate information flow, investment in research and development, and technological capabilities for promoting innovation. This study shows the link between KM practices and innovation outcomes in the Nigerian industry. This study has implications for improving competitiveness and sustainability. A work environment that prioritizes continuous learning, collaboration, and technology for knowledge management would be beneficial.

This research examines the development of electronic-based business maps in Serang Regency by examining empirically the design of the infrastructure development. The data collection technique used is Library Research on secondary data. Literature study was conducted to obtain secondary data in examining in depth the object of study. Data analysis was carried out using the content analysis approach. The results of the study show that the preparation of business process maps is part of the management arrangement intended to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of clear, effective, efficient and measurable work systems, processes and procedures in each Regional Apparatus. The preparation of business process maps is one of the factors in the successful implementation of bureaucratic reform in regional apparatuses. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that the preparation of this map is a reference for regional apparatus to carry out the preparation of business process maps within their respective agencies. Reforms aimed at carrying out systematic and planned changes towards a better government administration order and making the State Civil Apparatus more professional, effective, efficient and accountable in the framework of realizing good governance. Planned and systematic bureaucratic reform to change the structure, system and values in government for the better through the effectiveness and efficiency of the bureaucracy is very dependent on the business processes used by the bureaucracy in producing outputs and outcomes.

This paper examined the courses of unemployment in Nigeria with a view to proffering practical solution to it so as to reduce poverty rate. Secondary data gathered from various sources such as: CBN reports et cetera covering the period between 1970 to 2014 were used. It employed the regression analysis as the analytical method E-views version 9 and found out that a percentage increase in population growth will increase unemployment by 4.94%. Also the study found a positive relationship between government educational expenditure and unemployment rate in Nigeria and lastly, the result showed there is a positive relationship between gross capital formation and unemployment rate in Nigeria. It concluded by recommending that development of entrepreneurial skills and initiatives through entrepreneurship and training should be of paramount importance especially in the higher education sector so as to facilitate the employability and creativity of graduates who will derivatively contribute wealth of the nation not only as job seekers, but also job creators.
本文对尼日利亚的失业问题进行了分析,以期提出切实可行的解决办法,从而降低贫困率。从各种来源收集的二手数据,例如:CBN报告等,涵盖1970年至2014年期间。采用回归分析作为E-views version 9的分析方法,发现人口增长率每增加一个百分比,失业率就会增加4.94%。此外,研究发现尼日利亚政府教育支出与失业率之间存在正相关关系,最后,结果表明尼日利亚总资本形成与失业率之间存在正相关关系。报告最后建议,通过创业和培训发展创业技能和倡议应是最重要的,特别是在高等教育部门,以促进毕业生的就业能力和创造力,他们不仅是求职者,而且是创造就业机会,从而为国家贡献财富。
