Coronavirus (COVID-19) is an illness caused by a virus that can spread from person to person. It is a new coronavirus that has spread throughout the world and causes devastating effects on all sectors of the nation, private universities inclusive. Human resource constitutes an integral part of the University system without which attainment of vision and mission statements would prove abortive. This paper examined human resource management during COVID-19 pandemic in private universities in Kwara State. Descriptive research design was used in the study. Twenty Registrars and Deans were purposively selected from the private Universities in Kwara State and used as participants in the study. A researcher-designed questionnaire entitled: “Human Resource Management during COVID-19 Pandemic Questionnaire” (HRMCPQ) was used to obtain relevant information from the participants. Two research questions and one research hypothesis guided the conduct of the study. Both descriptive and inferential statistic were used in data analysis. The findings of the study showed that there was no significant difference between the perceptions of Registrars and Deans on human resource management during COVID-19 pandemic in private universities in Kwara State. Based on the findings of the study, private universities in Kwara State should lay more emphasis on the use of Information and Communication Technology tools in the management of human resource in their institutions in order to achieve stated goals and objectives.

Though there are various Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives by the Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority (ZPWMA), through the Communal Areas Management of Indigenous Resources (CAMPFIRE) and wildlife conservation in Zimbabwe is facing perennial challenges that range from illegal hunting, wildlife habitat fragmentation, and wildlife retaliatory killings. The main objective of the study is to assess the adoption of effective CSR initiatives on communities around Hwange National Park on wildlife conservation. A case study research design was used where the target population was communities living around Hwange National Park. Purposive and simple random sampling techniques were used. The data collected from questionnaires was analysed using SPSS and interview data was placed into thematic areas according to objectives. Findings were that there is a legal framework for CSR in place but the challenge is on its implementation. It was noted in the study that the community is not being involved in the conservation of wildlife. The findings also indicated that the economic situation is affecting the daily operation of Hwange National Park; hence, there is reduction of CSR funding which includes the provision of social services. From the study, it was observed that some of the infrastructure like boreholes and roads were no longer being serviced on time due to limited resources. The study recommends that the use of education and awareness campaigns are essential for the conservation of the resources in the protected area.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has acutely affected trade, investment, growth and employment around the world and has instigated a global economic slowdown. Estimates of labor income losses (before taking into account income support measures) suggest a global decline of 10.7 per cent during the first three quarters of 2020 compared with the corresponding period in 2019, which amounts to US$3.5 trillion or 5.5 per cent of global gross domestic product (GDP) for the first three quarters of 2019. Likewise, as with any crisis, the condition has become even worse in developing countries, where the stability or growth for start-ups and MSME’s has been significantly endangered. Every business or enterprises that drove to closure leads to multiple stories of unemployment, economic and social dislocation as well staggering uncertainty. It remains paramount that governments, in partnership with other public and private institutions, associations and bodies and various other stakeholders bestow their support to drive competitiveness of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME’s) with a particular focus on those small businesses in developing countries. In many countries, this interference has led to immediate and innovative approaches and models and also helped deploy resources and put up a timely and comprehensive response to the novel coronavirus disease. This study resorts to various MSME’s in developing countries confronting and combating the difficult time caused by COVID-19 pandemic which can help monitor the evolving business climate to design workable and enforceable policy support for MSME development.

The sudden disruption of academic activities by Covid-19 in the year 2020, compelled government to introduce total lockdown in Nigeria. It is on this premise that this study examined private schools’ management strategies amidst lockdown. Four questions were generated to guide the study. The research resign of descriptive and correlation type were used for the study. The study population comprises of proprietors of nursery, primary and secondary schools across the six geo-political zones in Nigeria. An instrument tagged “Private School Management Strategies Questionnaire (PSMSQ)” was employed to collect comprehensive information from the respondents. Findings revealed different strategies employed for managing schools during the lockdown differs. While some perceived no significant difference on income and teaching strategies on the basis of gender, some perceived differences on the basis of population and communication. In the same vein, a significant difference exists on income generation and teaching strategies based on school type and geo-political zones. The study concluded that different strategies employed by proprietors for managing schools during lockdown helped to ensure seamless teaching and learning despite the lockdown. The study recommends that private schools should have uniform strategies that can be used to ensure continuous teaching if there is any pandemic in the future. Lastly, online teaching and learning should be integrated into the school curriculum

Lifestyle is a set of characteristics consisting of daily routine, diet, fun activities, work and family of individuals. A review of previous research revealed that many studies were conducted to analyze the lifestyles of respondents using attitudes, opinions and interests with an objective to understand their buying behavior. A general clustering of respondents based on their lifestyles, in the context of COVID-19, would be useful for stakeholders like marketers, health care professionals and Government officials. Hence this paper attempts to group respondents based on their lifestyles. The study had a sample of 275 respondents from Tamilnadu, South India. A set of 32 questions based on the Activities, Interests and Opinions (AIO) model were used. Factor analysis, to arrive at meaningful aspects to group the respondents yielded 6 factors, based on which the respondents were grouped. Their demographic constitution was also examined. The study showed the existence of six distinct clusters in the context of COVID-19. This grouping has important implications for Government, Marketers and Healthcare officials to direct their communication, products and services, specific to those clusters. A review of literature showed a dearth of studies on lifestyle conducted during a pandemic in the Indian context. This study addresses the lacuna and would serve as a prototype that can be replicated on larger samples across countries to understand the impact of a pandemic on lifestyles of people. The study also threw light on the perspectives people have about them, their work and life.
