...European Journal of Economics, Finance and Administrative Sciences ISSN 1450-2887 Issue 17 (2009) © EuroJournals, Inc. 2009 http://www.eurojournals.com A Synthesis of the Critical Factors Affecting Performance of the Nigerian Banking System Godwin Chigozie Okpara Department of Banking and Finance, Abia State University, Uturu E-mail godgozie@yahoo.com Abstract This paper is set out to determine the factors impacting most on the performance of the banking system in Nigeria. To do this, factor analysis technique was used on the factors identified by the collaborative study of the CBN/NDIC. The result revealed that factors such as undue interference from board members, political crises, undercapitalization and fraudulent practices are the most critical factors inhibiting the efficient performance of the Nigerian financial institutions. The author therefore contends that the just concluded N25billion recapitalization exercise of the central bank was a necessary but not a sufficient measure in the right direction. The sufficient measure must be one that controls all the identified critical factors at the same time. 1.0. Introduction Banks in most economies are the principal depositories of the public's financial savings, the nerve centre of the payment system, the vessel endowed with the ability of money creation and allocation of financial resources and conduit through which monetary and credit policies are implemented. The success of monetary policy, to a large extent, depends...

...Florida: The Association for Institutional Research. Issues Successful management of colleges and universities depends upon the ability of the senior leaders to adapt to rapidly changing external environment. Unfortunately, the lead time once enjoyed by decisionmakers to analyze and respond to these and other changes is decreasing. Traditional long-range planning models, with their inward focus and reliance on historical data, do not encourage decisionmakers to anticipate environmental changes and assess their impact on the organization (Cope, 1981). The underlying assumption of such models is that any future change is a continuation of the direction and rate of present trends among a limited number of social, technological, economic, and political variables. Thus, the future for the institution is assumed to reflect the past and present or, in essence, to be "surprise-free." However, we know that this is not true, and the further we plan into the future, the less it will be true. What is needed is a method that enables decisionmakers both to understand the external environment and the interconnections of its various sectors and to translate this understanding into the institution's planning and decisionmaking processes.Environmental scanning is a method of accomplishing this. Brown and Weiner (1985) define environmental scanning as "a kind of radar to scan the world systematically and signal the new, the unexpected, the major and...

Over the centuries philosophers their struggle with human behavior have developed different approaches ethics, each leading to different conclusions. The word “ethics” which are coined from the Latin word ‘ethics’ and greek word ‘ethikos’ pertains to character. Ethics is thus said to be the science of conduct and morals. Meaning Ethics is the branch of philosophy which is the systematic study of selective choice, of the standards of right and wrong and by which it may be ultimately be directed.

...This discussion was over the controversy of Pat Mulroy being appointed a board member of Wynn Resorts. The reason this became a debate is because Mulroy had been a member of the Nevada Gaming Commission less than a year before and was allowed to get this job. Nevada law states that a member of the Nevada Gaming Commission must have a one year cooling off period where they cannot sit on the board of any private gaming company because of the sensitive information that said person may be able to use to the companies advantage. However Mulroy was given permission to forego this one year cool off period and is on the board for Wynn. The Nevada Commission of Ethics found that, in Mulroy’s case, she did not have to wait. The commission’s biggest point...

...ORGANIZATION SCIENCE Vol. 2, No. 4, November 1991 Printed in U.S.A. ILLUSIONS AND OTHER GAMES: A TRIFOCAL VIEW OF ORGANIZATIONAL POLITICS* PATRICIA BRADSHAW-CAMBALL AND VICTOR V. MURRAY York University, 4700 Keele Street, North York, Ontario, Canada Despite recent and growing interest in organizational politics, conceptual thought in this area tends to be dominated by a single theoretical perspective. In this paper we describe and contrast three views of organizational politics (functionalist, interpretive and radical) according to their differing structures, processes and outcomes. Each view, or lens, directs attention to some aspects of politics and away from others, and each has strengths and weaknesses embedded in it. In order to assess whether multiple perspectives on politics can be fruitfully applied simultaneously, we describe and analyze a case of a hospital administration engaged in budgeting games and illusion making. The data for the case were collected using naturalistic inquiry and multiple methods including structured and unstructured interviews, review of documents, observation of meetings and casual interaction facilitated by frequent visits over a ten-month period. The case revolves around the hospital administrators' attempts to deal with what they termed a "disastrous deficit" and the most serious financial situation in the hospital's history. Strategies for dealing with the funding agency and board of directors included the management...

...about quality care and patient satisfaction. NCLEX competency exam is taken by aspiring nurses with ADN or BSN degree. It is an exam that measures competency needed to perform safely and effectively as a newly licensed, entry-level nurse ((National Council of State Board of Nursing, 2008). Graduates from BSN and ADN programs do not receive the same equivalent education background. Besides the obvious number of education attained by BSN holders, ADN and BSN display differences in competencies within the work environment. Nurses with BSN possess greater opportunity in advancing their career compared to ADN nurses. As more consumer demands for a better healthcare, hospitals and healthcare facilities are looking at improving their patient satisfaction which calls for better nursing staff which means more educated nurses. According to authorities, education plays a big role in a nurse’s ability to perform job tasks and advised that patients get a highly educated nurse to meet the interest of a growing healthcare care field ((Maneval & Teeter, 2010) In the 2 year degree ADN program arts and science courses are covered in the curriculum versus BSN program provides a much stronger base in the humanities and science courses. [2]Rapid growth in technology and scientific improvement require nurses to continue to learn more. Based on recent studies, nurses with BSN working in a hospital setting have low rates of death, sickness and have the ability to respond quicker to emergencies...

...Unit 5- Discussion Board: Overtime as the United States progressed and became more culturally diverse, the melting pot theory and the American mosaic concept were formed (M.U.S.E., 2010). During the 19th century, the melting pot theory was formed and described as a blending or fusion of society where different cultures and nations and mixed together to form a common culture. More recently, the American mosaic concept was shaped essentially stating people from different cultures and backgrounds come together in harmony adding their own unique contributions to society, otherwise known as multiculturalism. The American mosaic appears to be a bit more realistic in regards to our society. One reason behind this is everyone is different. The blending of different nationalities, cultures, and religions and forming of one common culture seems a bit outrageous. I think it would be truly unrealistic for individuals to give up their true identity, language, and/or culture to become basically one in the same. Additionally, I do not think it’s possibly for one and all to be considered the same when problems such as discrimination still exist (Carliner, 1975). As stated by Xiao-huang (1998), “the Asian-Pacific population in the United States grew from one million in 1965 to over nine million in 1995”(para.2). This is just one example of one ethnic group who has dramatically changed the American demographic. Asian Americans have made many contributions to American society. This group...

Below is a comprehensive listing of case studies that focus on in-class situations, pulled from this series and presented in the following categories: The Bullies The Talkative The Entitled The Chatterers The Disrespecters The Barely Clothed The Twarters The inappropriately clothed The Smelly The Talkative (The Case of Know-it-All Nancy) February 2010, http://chronicle.com/blogPost/Disruptive-Student-Behavior/22948/ SCENARIO: You plan to facilitate a discussion in your class about readings that you assigned. As students enter the room and settle into their seats, you can feel the buzz in the air. They are excited. They want to discuss the subject. You begin class by asking a very open-ended question, a question designed to allow the students to take the subject in an area that interests them. The first student who responds to your question, a question that is barely out of your mouth, is Nancy, or as her classmates call her, “Know-it-all-Nancy.” Nancy is a smart young woman who often has very smart things to say about the subject at hand. She answers your question with great precision, citing arguments from sources you did not require her to read. You know from experience that if you stand by...
