This paper presents a comprehensive review of the evolving landscape of digital marketing in the era of the Internet of Things (IoT). As IoT technology continues to permeate various aspects of daily life, its influence on digital marketing strategies and consumer engagement has become a pivotal area of study. The aim of this review is to elucidate the trends and impacts of digital marketing in the context of IoT, offering insights into how this integration is reshaping marketing practices. Employing a systematic methodology, we analyzed current literature and case studies to identify key trends in IoT-driven digital marketing. Our study reveals that IoT offers unprecedented opportunities for marketers to gather real-time data, enabling more personalized and context-aware marketing strategies. We discuss how IoT devices, such as smart home appliances, wearables, and connected vehicles, are becoming new channels for digital marketing, allowing for more direct and interactive consumer engagement. The paper also delves into the challenges and ethical considerations that arise with IoT in digital marketing, including privacy concerns and data security. We highlight the need for robust regulatory frameworks to safeguard consumer interests in this rapidly evolving landscape. Our findings indicate that IoT is not only enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of digital marketing but also transforming the consumer experience. This integration is leading to more dynamic, responsive, and personalized marketing approaches, fundamentally altering the relationship between brands and consumers. The paper concludes with recommendations for future research and practical implications for marketers aiming to leverage IoT in their digital strategies. Keywords: Digital Marketing, Internet of Things (IoT), Consumer Engagement, Data-Driven Strategies, IoT Technologies, Marketing Innovations.

This study conducts a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of Technology Incubation Centres (TICs) in nurturing entrepreneurship, focusing on case studies from diverse regions of the Global South. With the growing emphasis on innovation and technology-driven economic development, TICs have emerged as vital entities in fostering entrepreneurial ecosystems. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis and qualitative case studies. The quantitative aspect involves assessing key performance indicators, including startup success rates, job creation, and financial sustainability of TICs. Qualitative investigations delve into the nuanced experiences of entrepreneurs, exploring the support mechanisms provided by TICs, challenges faced, and the overall impact on their ventures. The case studies span various contexts within the Global South, encompassing regions with differing economic, social, and cultural landscapes. By examining TICs in diverse settings, the study aims to draw insights into the contextual factors influencing the efficacy of incubation programs and their relevance in different entrepreneurial ecosystems. Preliminary findings suggest a correlation between the success of TICs and factors such as effective mentorship, access to funding, and collaborative networks. However, challenges such as resource constraints, regulatory hurdles, and variations in local market dynamics pose significant barriers to the optimal functioning of TICs. The study contributes to the existing literature by offering a nuanced understanding of the role and impact of TICs in the Global South. Findings will inform policymakers, entrepreneurs, and stakeholders about the specific contextual considerations that influence the efficacy of TICs, ultimately aiding in the refinement of strategies to enhance entrepreneurship and innovation in emerging economies. As the Global South increasingly positions itself as a hub for technological innovation, this research provides timely insights into the evolving landscape of entrepreneurial support structures, offering practical implications for the future development of TICs and fostering a conducive environment for sustained entrepreneurial growth.

The impression that Africans had no roots or contributions to modern-day management practices has persisted for a while. However, the Igbo people in Nigeria had their own management practice and leadership styles that were peculiar to them before the emergence of the management theories, which was why the Igbos were able to survive the indirect rule and brutal economic exploitation during the colonial era, and immediately after the civil war. This study, therefore, examined the role Igbo culture played in the development of management theories. The study specifically identified some specific Igbo cultural practice and their managerial implications and aligned some Igbo cultural practices to existing modern-day leadership theories. The literature of the study looked at the Igbo race as a people, examined culture, explained some management theories, the Igbo cultural practice and leadership theories, Igbo cultural practices and their managerial implications and Igbo cultural practices and modern day leadership theories. The study used the matching methods as the research design. The idea involved was to basically find commonalities between chosen management theories and the leadership styles of the Igbo people in southeast Nigeria. Mostly secondary sources of data were deployed for this purpose. The study also employed a qualitative methodology and a narrative analysis technique. It was revealed from the findings that before the introduction of modern-day management theory, Igbo culture had been practising the relevant leadership style that was propounded by great thinkers of management such as management by objective (Izuora), Management by exception (Izundiichie), Motivation (ituni muo/ Ikwanye ugwu), Transformational leadership (Ibezimako), Contingencies Leadership (Igbo enweze) and Transactional leadership (Echichi/ochanja/imapu na iwu). Keywords: Igbo, Culture, Southeast, Nigeria, Development and Management Theory.
非洲人对现代管理实践没有根基或贡献的印象一直存在。然而，尼日利亚的伊格博人在管理理论出现之前就有自己独特的管理实践和领导风格，这也是伊格博人能够在殖民时代的间接统治和残酷的经济剥削下以及内战结束后得以生存的原因。因此，本研究探讨了伊格博文化在管理理论发展过程中发挥的作用。本研究特别确定了一些具体的伊格博文化习俗及其对管理的影响，并将一些伊格博文化习俗与现有的现代领导理论相结合。研究文献将伊格博人视为一个民族，考察了文化，解释了一些管理理论、伊格博文化习俗和领导力理论、伊格博文化习俗及其对管理的影响以及伊格博文化习俗和现代领导力理论。本研究采用匹配法作为研究设计。所涉及的思路是基本上找到所选管理理论与尼日利亚东南部伊格博人领导风格之间的共性。为此，研究主要采用了二手数据来源。 研究还采用了定性方法和叙事分析技术。研究结果表明，在引入现代管理理论之前，伊格博文化一直奉行伟大的管理思想家提出的相关领导风格，如目标管理（Izuora）、例外管理（Izundiichie）、激励（ituni muo/ Ikwanye ugwu）、变革型领导（Ibezimako）、权变型领导（Igbo enweze）和交易型领导（Echichi/ochanja/imapu na iwu）。 关键词伊格博语、文化、东南部、尼日利亚、发展与管理理论。
