Distinctive entrepreneurial competencies for competitive advantage for entrepreneurs in rivers state. International Organisation of Scientific Research, Vol. 18, Issue 8, pp. 1-9 (India) | Entrepreneurs believe that they operate in a highly competitive environment. Identifying and focusing on the distinctive competencies of an entrepreneur becomes imperative to achieve dramatic marked advantage over competitors. The purpose of this paper therefore is to x-ray factors most inherent in an individual commitment to becoming an entrepreneur, the choice of goods and services to offer (industry choice and market), entrepreneurial competencies (skills) which involves ability to identify a suitable virgin operational position in existing markets, the mental skill to fashion out new markets, and the talent to quickly exploit the new opportunities. These competencies have become indispensable by dint of stiff competition among firms in industries and the ultimate desire for goods and services from outside national boundaries than home made. The sample size of the study consisted of 80 entrepreneurs drawn from 5 subjectively selected small and medium scale enterprises in Rivers State, namely, servicing, retailing, transportation, manufacturing, and insurance. Data for the study were obtained through the administration of questionnaire and the use of personal interview method. Findings from the study revealed fear of entrepreneurial failures as a result of polarized entrepreneurial educational training on the basic entrepreneurial concepts and their effects on building entrepreneurial confidence. It also revealed the effects of lack of priority attention on adequate infrastructural development as major factors influencing attitudes of individuals to engage in entrepreneurial venture. It was therefore concluded that entrepreneurs should take initiative whenever circumstances demand it to take advantage of external trends that have the potentials of affecting market demands in order to gain competitive advantage over rivalries. |

Indispensable strategic moves for corporate growth among oil and gas servicing companies in rivers state during economic down-turn. International Journal of Business and Management Invention. Vol. 6. Issue 3, March 2017. (India) | The purpose of this paper is to establish the fact that most organizations are vehemently preoccupied with pursuing strategies geared at achieving sales growth, possession of valuable property (assets),market share. The sales growth, assets, market share, profit can only be achieved through regular strategic moves involving scanning of the environment to take advantage of the opportunities and threats in the external environment and organizational strengths and weaknesses inherent in the internal. How an organization achieves its success is obviously not by following the traditional ways of doing things. Organizations that started earlier have not continued by dint of their inability to take cognizance of the impact of changes in the environment. These are great threats to strategic managers to establishing future workable plans which could be accommodated by the external environmental trends.
A sample size of 355 employees was drawn out of a population size of 3290 employees. Data for analysis were derived by administrating 187 questionnaires, out of which 148 were returned. Personal interview method was also used for data generation to complement those of the questionnaire. Research findings revealed a positive correlation existing between the predictive and the criterion variables. It was then concluded that corporations must not be confident in their old ways of doing things because of the changes that occur in an environment in order to achieve growth. |

An Evaluation of Corporate Social Responsibility Programs of Oil Firms in Bayelsa, Edo, Delta and Rivers State in the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria. International Journal of Innovative Research & Development March Issue, 2017 (India) | This paper grapples with Corporate Social Responsibility concept, and an evaluation of the Corporate Social Responsibility Programs of Oil Firms in Niger Delta area of Nigeria with emphasis on SPDC, Chevron, Mobil Exxon and Agip as representatives of the entire population. Niger Delta region has abundant natural resources, most importantly, crude oil which has necessitated the emergence of oil exploration as the main economic activity in the region. This exploration activity has resulted to waste products and pollution, more unpleasant environment through oil spillage and gas flaring which has impacted negatively and manifested in painful outcry of host communities against these oil firms for not being responsive to their aspirations and needs with respect to the financial wealth derived from oil discovered and explored out of their lands. The focus of this paper therefore is to explore the concept of corporate social responsibility, the extent to which these oil firms have executed their corporate social responsibility programs satisfactorily, and to make comparison with the expectations of the host communities. As a consequence, the study made a comprehensive evaluation of implementation of corporate social responsibility programs by oil firms outline above in six communities in Rivers State, two communities in Bayelsa State and two communities in Edo State chosen as representatives of oil firms in Niger Delta. Primary data generated through questionnaire, personal interview and secondary data generated through companies published accounts, documents, reports for the study were used to either support or reject the assertions of corporations and those of the communities in respect to satisfying corporate social responsibility programs by oil firms in Niger Delta. Findings revealed that there is a perplexed missing link on agreement between oil firms operating in Niger Delta area and the host communities on satisfactorily meeting with the corporate social responsibility programs and host communities’ expectation, more especially in this period of economic meltdown. It was therefore concluded that oil firms in Niger Delta should not only embark on minor programs such as renovation, donations, but engage also on capital projects such as road construction, building bridges, as basis for satisfying corporate social responsibility programs in order to gain colossal recognition by the host communities. |

Monetization and fringe benefits of GDF consulting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Hezekiah University Journal of Management and Social Sciences. Vol. 6 No.1 (Nigeria) | This study is monetization and fringe benefits of GDF consulting in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. Theories of Social Exchange and Rational Choice were adopted to provide a basis for the explanation of commitment. Different categories of staffs/respondents were systematically selected from departments and other administrative sections of the firm. Content analysis was used for qualitative data, while descriptive and inferential statistics such as frequency distribution, chi-square and logistic regression were used to analyse quantitative data. Quantitative results revealed that sex and education were significantly related with commitment (x2 = 39.632, p < 0.05). However, marital status and income had no significant relationship with commitment (x2 = 39.632, p < 0.05). Though workers income was affected, but the monetization of fringe benefits did not improve their welfare because of the rate at which market prices of goods and services were shooting up , and this affected their loyalty and productivity towards the firm. Therefore, it was recommended that rewards should be properly planned towards commitment, participation of workers should be allowed in decisions that affect them at the policy level, and inflation should be controlled for, to enhance workers purchasing power for productivity to be achieved. |
