There is a lot of competition and constant shifting of customers in today's business environment. This study, therefore, examined the impact of marketing partners (supplier, distribution, dealer, agencies and customer networking) on customer retention. A descriptive survey research method was used, and data were collected from 356 respondents in the selected deposit money banks. Multiple regression analysis was employed to analyse the formulated hypothesis. The findings showed (R2=0.713, F-test=173.999, p < 0.05), the hypothesis was statistically significant at 5% level of significance, indicating that effective marketing partners demonstrated to be a tactical tool to achieve customer retention. The findings highlight the importance of building and maintaining cordial relationships with marketing partners to enhance customer retention in the banking industry. The study recommended that banks adjust their marketing initiatives and product offers to improve customer retention by being aware of the demands and preferences of their customers.

This study investigated the effect of the informal economy on human capital development and the direction of causality between informal economy and human capital development in Nigeria from 1970 to 2019. The study objectives were achieved by analysing annual time series data sourced from the World Development Indicators and Central Bank of Nigeria using the autoregressive distributed lag estimation technique and the Toda-Yamamoto causality test. Findings from the study showed positive long-run effect of informal economy on human capital development. The result from this study also revealed unidirectional causality flowing from informal economy to human capital development. Consequently, this study concluded that engagement in informal economic activities is beneficial to human capital development in Nigeria. Following these findings, Nigerian policy makers aiming to achieve human capital development should implement comprehensive policies which facilitate the competitiveness and growth of informal economic activities.

As businesses increasingly recognize the importance of effective customer relationship management, building a rich database and managing it sustainably becomes a crucial factor for success. Digital transformation has altered consumer behavior, necessitating the transformation of strategic frameworks for managing customer relationships and precise management of customer data. To implement effective marketing approaches, it is necessary to conduct a CRM system diagnostics that identifies critical customer interaction areas through adequate metrics. This paper examines the main aspects of marketing diagnostics and their contribution to customer relationship management. The research focuses on the nature and development of three main diagnostic tools as fundamental to the diagnostic process in customer relationship management: the RFM-method, the customer lifetime value (CLTV) and the Customer churn prediction model. The possibilities of using machine learning and artificial intelligence in marketing diagnostics and their impact on customer relationship management are discussed. The purpose of the present study is to contribute to a better understanding of the importance of marketing diagnostics for customer relationship management and to highlight the importance of the effective application of diagnostic tools in organizations.

On their development path the Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries partially overcame the gap to the developed countries by means of the external trade, acquiring the needed goods and services and satisfying the foreign demand for their products which otherwise was lacking on their territory or seizing an opportunity. In the current paper the authors aim at analysing the evolution of the trade flows of the countries they thought to be the most similar in this aspect, which are the ones belonging to the non-euro area of the European Union (EU) during the period 2014-2021. The research used the Eurostat database, the products being classified after the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) main categories in order to find out the sectors with the largest contribution to the total surplus or deficit. Moreover, there were identified the main partners of every analysed country and calculated the evolution of respective trade balances at the start and the end of the selected period of time. The authors findings reveal an increasing dependency on exports to Germany, imports from China, decreasing imports of mineral fuels from Russia and also important similarities and differences in the group. The novelty of the manuscript resides in comparing the most profitable sectors during the analysed period and identifying the partners’ contribution to the surplus or the deficit. The current research might be extended with a more in-depth level of multinational enterprises and also in the case of services.

Nigeria’s high import of manufactured products and the weak export of processed goods are indications of the palpable weakness of the sector. The paper examines the response of manufacturing performances to crude oil price fluctuations in Nigeria and considered annual data in Nigeria from 1981 to 2019. The paper evaluates fluctuation in crude oil price in relation to manufacturing sector performance in Nigeria. Hence, the need to find solution to the crude oil price fluctuations becomes inevitable. The data set was estimated using dynamic ordinary least square (DOLS) as the series is a mixture of me (0) and me (1). However, ex post facto research design was employed to realize the first objective. Phillips Perron and Bounds test were carried out to evaluate the F-statistic against the critical values. The results show that physical investment had negative value (-0.0466) and was significant at (1%) on manufacturing performance; also oil price fluctuations had negative value (-0.1399). Therefore, policy makers need to engage the Governments to create enabling environment and regulate the distortions in the crude oil price for manufacturing sector.
尼日利亚制成品的大量进口和加工产品的疲软出口是该部门明显疲软的迹象。本文考察了尼日利亚制造业绩效对原油价格波动的响应,并考虑了尼日利亚1981年至2019年的年度数据。本文评估了原油价格波动与尼日利亚制造业业绩的关系。因此,寻找解决原油价格波动的方法势在必行。由于该序列是me(0)和me(1)的混合物,因此使用动态普通最小二乘法(DOLS)估计数据集。然而,采用事后研究设计来实现第一个目标。采用Phillips Perron and Bounds检验来评估f统计量对临界值的影响。结果表明:实物投资为负值(-0.0466),对制造业绩效影响显著(1%);此外,石油价格波动为负值(-0.1399)。因此,决策者需要与各国政府接触,为制造业创造有利的环境并管制原油价格的扭曲。

To meet the random consumers demand the distributors maintain inventory. For optimal inventory control under random demand it is necessary to know the cumulative distribution function (CDF). The practical determination of CDF is related with a number of difficulties. This paper proposes a way to construct a probability distribution function of demand. Data on weekly sales of over 400 types of food products over a period of five years in a small distribution company were analyzed. The ARIMA model was used for primary analysis of the consumption data. Random variables are modeled using Pearson Distribution System and Johnson Distribution System and can be used to determine inventory management strategies.

The article examines the role of the higher economic education in the Higher School of Commerce, which was founded by entrepreneurs and whose successor is the University of Economics - Varna, for the training of highly qualified personnel for the economy and for the development of economic activity in the region. The Higher School of Commerce was opened by Order No. 7177 of 28 September 1920 of the Minister of Commerce, but even before the opening of the first Bulgarian universities, Bulgarians began to seek to acquire knowledge for the needs of the developing commercial activity during the Renaissance. The aim of this paper is to analyse the relationship between higher economic education and entrepreneurship - at the time of the establishment of the Higher school and our modern times - in the light of a historical overview. The practical necessity of analyzing the tendencies and challenges for the future development of the university stems from its contribution to the training and professional realization of studenteconomists. In conclusion and as a result of the research, conclusions and summaries are made regarding the role of the higher economic education for the economic development of the Varna region.

Investors are concerned with the disclosure of information by management of firms to make relevant and timely decisions, therefore, this study investigates the influence of ownership structure on corporate voluntary disclosure of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. The population of the study consists of all nonfinancial listed firms on the Nigerian Exchange Group. Using purposive sampling technique, the study selected a total of 67 listed non-financial firms having the required information necessary for the study between year 2011 to 2020. The study employed the dynamic panel Generalised Method of Moment (GMM) technique to analyse the data. The system GMM results revealed that block and institutional ownership exert positive significant influence on the disclosure of voluntary information by listed non-financial firms in Nigeria while the impact of managerial ownership was positive but not significantly associated with corporate voluntary disclosure.
