Evaluating The Challenges Of Growth Of Indigenous Companies In Nigeria

ABSTRACT

One of the major economic backwardness of the most third world countries like Nigeria is the
over prolonged sojourn of private foreign divestment in them. The predatory exploitative
orientation and activities of foreign monopoly capital, it inherent tendency to resist and hamper
local industrialization and to perpetuate merchant capitalism and its determination and deliberate
efforts to retard the growth of endogamous entrepreneurship all this have heavily influenced
Nigeria economic history for well over a century. This foreign dominance of commercial
activities in Nigeria was made possible by restrictive practices employed by the established
merchant firms. It is important to note that commercial banking is a major source of credit
(capital) was solely owned and controlled by foreign elements. Their policies were made towards
satisfying the needs of foreign enterprise, indigenous entrepreneurs merely subjected on the crumbs that fell on
the gable. (Ezeigwe .J. O) Nigerian government in the 1950s operated mainly an open door policy which
attempted to live foreign investors into the country.

Impact Of Microfinance Banks And The Socio-economic Development Of The Areas Of Their
Operation.

ABSTRACT

The study is a descriptive survey designed to examine impact of micro finance banks and the
socio-economic development of the areas of their operation. A total of eighty-five respondents were selected
from Wetland Micro finance bank and its area of operation in Warri, Delta State to form a sample size. A test
and retest method was used to determine the reliability of the questionnaire items. The data collected from the
field through the administration of questionnaire was organized, using frequency distribution table, simple
percentage and non-parametric test of significance known as Chi-Square (X2) was used to test the hypotheses
formulated. The findings showed that there is a significant relationship between micro finance bank and socio-
economic development of the areas of their operation. The study therefore recommends among others that
government through their monetary and economic policies should provide a suitable ground for the growth of
micro finance bank in the country.

Multi National Companies And Their Social Responsibilities In Their Host Communities

INTRODUCTION

Profit maximization was regarded as the primary mission and over-reaching economic motive of any business
enterprises little or no attention was paid to the fact that, in pursuit of their profit objective, business
enterprises have to be asking to assemble the resource from the local environment and have the stable socio-
political and investment climate in which to operate successfully. If business organization relies on society for
existence, it is only logical that this environment be acculturated and nurtured to ensure its continuity. It is in
this regard that the orientation of the modern business manager has changed to reflect the increasingly
important interdependence between organizations and there environments with these, there is an increasing
public glamour that business should participate actively in the well being and environment in which they
operate and make their profit.
