Abstract: Conflict cannot be avoided since it is an inevitable aspect of work teams. Conflict may be defined as a struggle or contest between people with opposing needs, ideas, beliefs, values, or goals. Conflict on teams is inevitable; however, the results of conflict are not predetermined. Conflict might escalate and lead to nonproductive results, or conflict can be beneficially resolved and lead to quality final products. Therefore, learning to manage conflict is integral to a high-performance team. Although very few people go looking for conflict, more often than not. Conflict management involves acquiring skills related to conflict resolution, self-awareness about conflict modes, conflict communication skills, and establishing a structure for management of conflict in organizational environment. This paper presents types of conflict describe the benefits and detriments of conflict and present the causes of conflict. Strategies are also presented to prevent and to effectively manage conflict.

Abstract: Anatomical analysis of Human Memory based on Neural Science, remains an area of great interest for scientists, from time immemorial. The current research may be a Pioneering effort in the area of religious traits of a student at the BOP segment and his capacity to learn. Students aspiring for Professional Education, such as Engineering, Management, belonging to low and mid-income group, are a confused lot. As many Researchers (Jaywalk, Karnani) vehemently argued, whether OPPORTUNITY really exits at the Bottom or Mid of the Pyramid, is of another issue and research, the present Research would endeavor to focus on the mid level of our society. C. K. Prahalad conceptualized and vehemently propagated BOP and stated that there lies a huge market of billions of people in Emerging Markets as potential customer, who earns less than $ 2 a day. Prof. Prahalad also advocated as ―we must stop thinking that these billion people are a drag on our economy, rather they are resilient and value-conscious consumers and an unforeseen door of opportunity may be opened. Creating Leaders at the BOP level through various successful experiments by ITC / AMUL/ JAIPUR RAGS / SHAKTI AMMAS – HLL/ICICI BANK –SHG and so on, are there in India. This Co-creation of Leadership culture has made a huge difference in Socio-economic fabric of rural India. Researchers, in this paper, would endeavor to find out empirically, if there is any Co-relation, between Spiritual effects on Student-mind and Memory at BOP segment in India.

Abstract: The World Tourism organization (WTO) ranks tourism as one of the top 5 export resource for 83% of world countries and is also number one export earner for 38% of countries worldwide. But regrettably, Nigeria's abundant tourism resources and deposits have remained grossly under exploited thereby making the country to lose much of the gains most other notable tourist destinations draw from it. Outside the common economic gains made from tourism, Nigeria is evidently ignorant of so many others. This paper holds that apart from becoming Nigeria's viable alternative to oil, tourism can indeed become the country's global brand which would ultimately alter her current negative global image. As a global brand, tourism could therefore be used to rebrand or reposition Nigeria's corporate image. A tourism development circle model is developed along this line by the paper.

Abstract: The latest buzzword in the financial literature is "Derivatives" the birth of which is traced back to 1973 when Fisher and Myron Scholes published an article on European Call Option valuation. In the last decade, many emerging and transition economies have started introducing derivative contracts. As was the case when commodity futures were first introduced on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) in 1865, policy makers and regulators in these markets were concerned about the impact of futures on the underlying cash market. One of the reasons for this concern was the belief that futures trading attract speculators, who can destabilize spot prices.

Abstract: Many companies are linking themselves to worthwhile causes to exercise their social responsibility and build more positive images,. These days every product seems to be tied with some cause. Companies now sponsor dozens of cause-related campaigns each year. Many are backed by large budgets and a full complement of marketing activities.The findings indicate that consumer purchase intentions are influenced by the charity with cause-related marketing campaigns. Furthermore it was observed that the brand awareness and charity partially mediate the impact of CRM campaigns on consumer purchase intentions. An initial conceptualization was developed from mainstream literature to be validated through empirical research. The conceptualization was then tested with primary quantitative survey data collected from students studying in different colleges of Kashmir Division of state J&K. Correlation and regression analysis were used to test the key hypothesis derived from literature positioning brand awareness and charity mediating the relationship between CRM and consumer purchase intentions.

Abstract: The determinants of investment decisions among agribusiness investors in Southeast, Nigeria were studied. The study employed a combination of multistage and purposive sampling techniques in the collection of data from three hundred and sixty (360) agribusiness investors using structured questionnaires. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were employed to realise the objectives of the study. The results of the analysis show that the investors are within their active age (40 -59 years) and are actively involved in farm input supply (60%), farm processing (55%), and marketing/distribution (54%). It was equally observed that investors whose annual income ranges between N501,000.00 – N1,000,000.00 invested more in farm input supply while investors with annual income of between N101,000 – N500,000 invested more in farm production, processing and distribution of agricultural products. With the Chi-square (χ2) value of 9368.836 and the Pseudo R2 of 0.465 which was grater than the probability level 5% (P>0.05), the study revealed that the socio-economics characteristics of agribusiness investors in South East Nigeria have significant effect on determinants of investment decision. Meanwhile, study showed that apart from the socioeconomic characteristics of the investors; experience, source of investment capital, annual income, and household entrepreneurial history, inadequate start-up capital, business location, favourable government policy on entrepreneurship, experience in self employment, high rate of inflation, market size were at 5% (P>0.05) identified be the determinants of investment decision among agribusiness investors in Southeast Nigeria. The study further revealed that the interrelationship between the entrepreneur's marital status and gender (0.688*), annual income and level of education (0.622*), experience and level of education (0.739**), and household entrepreneurial history and individual experience (0.515*) have strong effect on the agribusiness investment decision. Based on the findings, the study recommended the provision of conducive investment climate for agribusiness investors. This entails the provision of those things that will attract both local and foreign direct investments into agribusiness sector. These include tax holidays, investment infrastructures, reduction in social vices such as kidnapping and activities of religious sect - boko haram.

Abstract: This research paper examines the impact of compensation initiatives on sales force performance using a descriptive research design to conceptualize recommendations to use in designing sales force compensation. The links between monetary and non-monetary compensation initiatives are further investigated to establish their impact on sales performance and sales force turnover. A structured questionnaire was personally administered to collect primary data from a sample of 50 respondents purposefully selected. It was concluded that both monetary based compensation incentives and non-monetary incentives do not necessarily influence sale force performance. However, monetary based compensation incentives directly influences sales force turnover whilst non-monetary incentives do not necessarily influence sales force turnover.
