The study used ex post-facto research design to test its objectives using ten year data drawn from banking and construction industries with results obtained from data analysis using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Both correlation and OLS results revealed significantly negative and positive results on banking and construction industries respectively. The study concludes that industry characteristics like product type, existence of tangibles and magnitude of returns which differentiates the industries account for the variation of results. The research recommended investors and providers of funds should factor in the sensitivity of compensation to operating returns in the determination of investing industry. This is because the higher the sensitivity, the lower the agency costs and vice versa. Further research is suggested for wider comparative analysis in unrelated and highly diversified industries for potential theory development.

This study seek to amplify the chemistry between foreign direct investment, exchange rate, interest rate and economic development in Nigeria between the periods 1986 to 2015 using Auto Regressive Distributive Lag model. From the statistical report, we discovered that foreign direct investment and interest rate exhibit a direct relationship to economic development in Nigeria. Study further suggest that the low rate of interest promote investment paradox and thus stimulate economic development in Nigeria while the report from the exchange rate shows that if exchange rate is appreciating, economic development is been stimulated. This therefore suggest that an appreciating exchange rate is capable of attracting foreign investors and thus promote economic development as the case may be. The interrelationship between exchange rate, foreign investment and economic development is expected to be direct accordingly such that rise in exchange rate attract foreign investment and thus promote economic development in Nigeria. The policy implication is that if Exchange Rate appreciates, then Naira will be cheap relative to other currencies, this can attract Foreign Direct Investment inflow into the Nigerian economy through the window of reduce Naira value and cheap investment in Nigeria. Based on this findings, study recommends that authorities in charge of managing the Nigerian economy should as a matter of urgency revamp the lending habit by introducing low interest rate as this will make it cheaper to borrow and this encourages spending and investment lending to higher aggregate demand which will further stimulate economic development.

In the 21st century, global business has emerged as a powerful and foremost driver of economic growth. Business supply mass demand for both consumer and industrial goods and services. The last few decades have also witnessed an increasingly rapid rush for greater productivity and profitability unparalleled with any other time in history. The main metric of measuring business performance is thus profit. However, in this day and age, business ethics has been sidelined by many businesses owners and their employees. For many businesses, the ends justify the means, and unethical practices are often looked upon as merely a business decision that needs to be made to meet sales targets or achieve organisational results. Thus for many ethics is overlooked on a daily basis in favour of other worldly ideals. The practice of business documentation may however hold a key to reviving ethical business practice. With an increasingly rapid trend towards documentation and Quality Assurance in the business world, the development of a document pertaining to ethical business practice might just be a feasible solution to introducing business ethics as an important metric of performance in line with productivity. However, in order for this to be achieved, the business organisation must carefully avoid the challenging obstacles the might hamper their attempts to develop an ethics charter for their organisation. However, if they are successful, the rewards might greatly outweigh the costs.

There is growing evidence to support the view that when people were exposed entrepreneurship trainings and education programs, they tend to be more inclined towards entrepreneurial actions, and sometimes even become more effective as entrepreneurs. The current economic realities in many developing economies have unavoidably forced policy makers and the academics to place very high priority on developing entrepreneurial skills and knowledge through education. This paper attempts to give a critical review of various literatures and related studies on entrepreneurial competencies and shows how these competencies can be relevant and critical for lecturers teaching entrepreneurship courses in higher learning institutions. Based on the reviewed related literatures in the study, it was discovered that lecturers must possess some basic entrepreneurial competencies for effective teaching to their students as well as to develop students‟ entrepreneurial skills and knowledge which are considered necessary for new venture management and new venture creation. Three competencies that found to be very important for entrepreneurship lecturers are; entrepreneurial knowledge, skills and attitudes. It recommended that this area of research should be broadened and lecturers should develop their own competencies so that students aspiring in entrepreneurship can be aware of them which can have greater chances in their entrepreneurial success.

The aim of this paper is to analyze a pay scheme with three possible scenarios, all under the hypothetical premise of the purchase of an appliance under three different terms of payment. In theory we know that the greater the capitalization of an interest rate, the greater the increase of the burden of interest on the person who acquires the credit. However, the calculations show that option 4, weekly payments, appears to be the option with the smallest interest payment (5.93%) versus 5.99% and 6.20% for options 2 and 3, respectively. Finally, it is important to mention that the import of each payment is what makes the difference: option 2 is $106.62, option 3 is $53.18 and option 4 is $24.53. Option 1 is cash payment.
