Comparative Business Practices Across Zimbabwean Regions
type: item
description: Zimbabwean regions exhibit diverse business practices influenced by historical, cultural, and economic factors. A mixed-methods approach incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather data from small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) across selected regions of Zimbabwe. The survey revealed a significant variation in the proportion of SMEs adopting export-oriented strategies, with northern regions showing a higher adoption rate compared to southern regions. Despite common challenges such as resource scarcity and corruption, regional differences in business practices suggest distinct competitive advantages that can inform targeted policy interventions. Policymakers should consider implementing region-specific support programmes tailored to address the unique needs identified through this study.

E-Learning Platforms and Teaching Practices in Malawi’s Secondary Schools
type: item
description: Malawi's secondary schools are increasingly adopting e-learning platforms to enhance teaching practices and student success. However, there is limited research on how these platforms impact classroom dynamics and learning outcomes. The study employed qualitative research methods, including participant observation and semi-structured interviews with educators and students, to understand the implementation and impact of e-learning technologies. A notable finding was that the use of e-learning platforms led to a significant increase in interactive teaching practices among teachers, as evidenced by an average of 70% more engagement during online sessions compared to traditional classroom settings. The study underscores the transformative potential of e-learning platforms in Malawi’s secondary schools and highlights the need for further research into sustainable pedagogical strategies that leverage these technologies effectively. School administrators are advised to integrate professional development programmes focused on digital literacy, while policymakers should consider funding initiatives that support teachers' technological integration into their curriculum.

Microfinance Institutions and Women Entrepreneurs in Ethiopian Context
type: item
description: Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) have emerged as a critical component in supporting women entrepreneurs across various regions, including Ethiopia. The approach employed is a qualitative analysis, focusing on existing literature and theoretical frameworks related to microfinance and gender empowerment. The theoretical framework underscores the need for continued investment and tailored strategies by MFIs to fully realise their potential in fostering economic empowerment among Ethiopian women entrepreneurs. Future research should focus on evaluating the long-term effects of MFI interventions, particularly in terms of sustainability and scalability. Policy makers are encouraged to support the development of more inclusive financial systems that cater specifically to female entrepreneurs.

Technological Innovations in Coastal Tanzania
type: item
description: Technological innovations have become increasingly important in agricultural practices globally, particularly among smallholder farmers who often lack access to advanced resources and information. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including semi-structured interviews with 50 smallholder farmers, focus group discussions with community leaders, and analysis of secondary data from agricultural extension services. Data were collected over three years to capture the evolving landscape of technological adoption in the region. During the study period, there was a significant increase (from 15% to 40%) in farmers adopting at least one new technology aimed at improving crop yields and water management. The most popular innovations were drip irrigation systems and solar-powered water pumps. The findings suggest that while smallholder farmers in coastal Tanzania show considerable interest in technological innovations, barriers such as cost, lack of knowledge, and infrastructure limitations remain significant challenges to widespread adoption. To enhance technology adoption rates, agricultural extension services should focus on providing training programmes, financial support, and improving access to electricity and water. Community-led initiatives can also play a crucial role in fostering acceptance and sustainability of new technologies.

Cross-Cultural Management Challenges in Pan-African Companies
type: item
description: Cross-cultural management challenges are prevalent in multinational companies operating across diverse cultural landscapes. In Morocco, these challenges are particularly pronounced due to its strategic location and economic potential within the African continent. This mixed-methods study employs a combination of exploratory interviews, focus group discussions, and structured surveys. Quantitative data are analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis for the qualitative components. Findings indicate that language barriers significantly impede communication in Moroccan pan-African companies, with 45% of respondents experiencing these issues on a daily basis. The integration of cross-cultural management challenges through mixed-methods research provides deeper insights into specific operational issues faced by companies operating across Morocco and the broader African continent. Organizations should prioritise language training programmes to mitigate communication barriers, thereby enhancing cross-cultural effectiveness.

Ethical Quandaries in Business Practices During Conflict in Zambia
type: item
description: Business operations in conflict-affected regions often encounter unique ethical challenges that differ from those encountered in stable environments. The research employs mixed methods, incorporating both qualitative interviews with business owners and managers, as well as quantitative surveys of employees across various sectors. Data triangulation is employed to ensure robustness and accuracy of findings. A significant proportion (45%) of respondents reported experiencing ethical conflicts related to resource allocation and workforce management in conflict settings. Themes include prioritising stakeholder interests over profit maximization, and the impact on employee mental health due to exposure to violence. The study identifies recurring ethical challenges faced by businesses in conflict zones and proposes a framework for responsible business conduct that considers both economic viability and social responsibility. Businesses operating in conflict-affected regions should establish robust ethical guidelines, prioritise stakeholder welfare over profit maximization, and engage with local communities to mitigate negative impacts on mental health.

Evaluating Community-Based Eldercare Initiatives in Johannesburg
type: item
description: Community-based eldercare initiatives have become increasingly prevalent in Johannesburg to address the growing need for elderly care services amid urbanization and demographic shifts. The research adopts an evaluative approach, utilising surveys and qualitative interviews among caregivers involved in community-based eldercare facilities. Data collection spans across multiple facilities to ensure comprehensive insights. Findings indicate that caregiver satisfaction levels have shown a steady improvement over the three-year period, with a notable increase from baseline scores of 35% (moderately satisfied) to an average score of 48% (highly satisfied). The study concludes that community-based eldercare initiatives in Johannesburg are effective in enhancing caregiver satisfaction and longevity outcomes, warranting further expansion and policy support. Given the positive trends observed, it is recommended that policymakers consider expanding similar initiatives to cover a larger population and ensure sustainable support for elderly care needs.

Human Resource Management Practices in Botswana's Mining Sector
type: item
description: Botswana's mining sector is a significant contributor to the country’s economy, with human resource management (HRM) practices playing a critical role in its success and sustainability. A survey research approach was employed, targeting a diverse sample of mining companies in Botswana. Respondents were selected based on company size and industry representation, ensuring broad coverage of the sector’s landscape. The findings indicate that while most companies follow HRM practices such as performance management and training programmes, there is a notable variation in their implementation strategies across different firms. This study highlights the need for more standardised HRM practices within Botswana's mining sector to enhance overall organisational effectiveness and support sustainable development. The findings suggest that implementing tailored yet consistent HRM practices could lead to improved performance and better alignment with industry standards.

Linking Giants and Smalls
type: item
description: This Commentary examines strategic partnerships between large firms and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in South Africa post-. No empirical data were used; the analysis is based on secondary research and case studies of existing partnerships. While many partnerships show promise, challenges such as resource allocation and cultural differences persist, necessitating tailored support strategies from government bodies. Government should facilitate more targeted training programmes for SMEs in negotiation skills and market understanding. Financial institutions should provide better support for SMEs to participate effectively in these partnerships.

type: item
description: In Kampala's slums, waste management is a pressing issue with significant environmental and social impacts. Existing systems are often inefficient and unsustainable, necessitating innovative approaches to address cost savings and community engagement. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, integrating qualitative interviews with local stakeholders and quantitative analysis of existing data on waste management practices in the region. This theoretical framework provides a robust foundation for policymakers, businesses, and development organizations seeking sustainable waste management strategies that balance economic benefits with social inclusion. Policymakers should encourage the adoption of these business models through supportive policies and incentives. Businesses can leverage these insights to develop more effective waste management solutions tailored to local contexts.

type: item
description: In recent years, Rwanda has emerged as a hub for innovation across various sectors, including technology and entrepreneurship. Kigali, the capital city, is at the forefront of these developments with growing numbers of startups and established hubs. A structured online questionnaire was administered to a diverse sample of entrepreneurs, investors, and incubators in Kigali. The data collected were analysed using statistical software for comprehensive insights into the ecosystem's dynamics. The survey revealed that approximately 45% of surveyed entities reported increased collaboration opportunities facilitated by these hubs, indicating their significant role in promoting innovation within Kigali’s startup community. This study underscores the crucial function of innovation hubs and startup ecosystems in catalyzing entrepreneurial activity and technological progress in Kigali.

Policy Dynamics in Tunisian Business Research
type: item
description: Business research in Tunisia often grapples with policy implications that affect its business environment. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for stakeholders aiming to navigate and influence the legislative framework. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys. Data were collected from a diverse sample of Tunisian businesses across various sectors. Findings suggest that policy changes are significantly influenced by academic research trends, particularly in sectors heavily reliant on international markets (e.g., tourism and agriculture). The study concludes that fostering stronger collaborations between academia and policymakers could enhance the effectiveness of business policies in Tunisia. Recommendations include establishing more formal channels for dialogue between academics and policy-makers, with a focus on sectors most affected by global market changes.

Community Gardens and Wellbeing Among Somali Refugees in Kenya
type: item
description: Community gardens have emerged as a promising intervention for addressing multiple social issues in urban environments, including food insecurity and mental health challenges. A participatory action research approach was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with garden participants and focus group discussions with community leaders. Data collection tools included food frequency questionnaires and standardised mental health scales. Participants reported an increase in dietary diversity by 20% compared to baseline levels, indicating improved nutrition outcomes. There was also a significant reduction in depression symptoms (35%) among those who engaged actively in garden activities. Community gardens appear to be effective in enhancing nutritional health and mental well-being amongst Somali refugees in Nairobi, Kenya. Integrating community gardening initiatives into existing refugee support programmes is recommended to leverage these benefits further. Future research should explore scalability and sustainability of such interventions.
