Purpose: Most studies have shown that there is a significant relationship between productivity and competitive advantage, but none have attempted to include a contingency variable to provide more insight into the nature of this relationship. To fill this gap, this study was conducted to empirically verify this relationship by including 'quality results' as a contingency variable. Design/methodology/Approach: Quantitative research approach was employed and primary data was collected from TAZARA management employees. Model fit, reliability and validity were tested using regression analysis, factor analysis and principal component analysis using Jamovi software. Findings: The results show that there is a positive and significant relationship between productivity and competitive advantage, and between quality results and competitive advantage. The results also show that quality results partially mediate the relationship between productivity and competitive advantage. Practical implications: The study provides insights on the nature of the relationship between productivity and competitive advantage. The study proves that quality results is critical to improving and sustaining productivity to promote competitiveness in an organisation. As organisations relentlessly seek to maintain and gain competitiveness through productivity, managers and employees need to understand how quality results can be integrated into all operations.

The purpose of this study was to present a systematic literature review on the relationship between democracy and economic growth. The goal was to provide scholars and policymakers with important new information on how democracy affects economic growth, as well as solid evidence of the gaps in the literature that need to be filled immediately. The research used a methodological analysis of the literature found in two databases, Google Scholar and Semantic Scholar.The study presents that majority of the studies reviewed show that democracy has a long-term, substantial positive impact on a country's economic growth. But democracy alone cannot promote economic expansion, especially in developing countries. Democracies can promote economic growth in a variety of ways, but how well these efforts work depends on the quality of democratic institutions, the legal system and broader socio-economic conditions. According to the study, elected governments should implement laws and procedures that protect and promote democracy while addressing the needs of the population in order to achieve sustainable economic growth.

This study systematically reviews the literature on high-speed rail (HSR) and its impact on economic growth, revealing significant development potential, but with regional disparities. Larger cities often benefit more than smaller ones, highlighting the need for strategic policies to ensure inclusive growth. Initiatives such as supporting local innovation, retaining talent, and addressing accessibility gaps are essential. Current research uses quantitative methods and focuses on specific countries, suggesting broader qualitative approaches are needed. Effective implementation of HSR requires more than infrastructure; success depends on factors such as high population density, supportive land use regulations, and investment in education. Caution is advised for developing countries that lack national HSR policies or technological innovation. Tailored regulations and localized support are critical to optimize economic benefits and address uneven growth, as the viability of HSR depends on favorable geographical and economic conditions.

The purpose of this study was to present a systematic literature review on the public debt-economic growth nexus. The objective was to provide policymakers and researchers with significant insights on the impact of public debt on economic growth and to provide reliable evidence on the gaps in the literature that require their urgent attention. The study used a systematic review of the literature contained in two databases, namely Semantic Scholar and Google Scholar. The study shows that public debt above the threshold is detrimental to economic growth, while low public debt is conducive to growth, and that the degree of non-linearity in the debt-growth relationship varies considerably depending on the economic status and debt burden of the country. Policymakers in each country should identify the tipping point at which further public debt begins to impede growth. Debt policy should take into account not only fiscal constraints, but also the effectiveness of governance and the possible consequences of eroding public confidence. The study also shows that institutional quality, public investment, production expenditure, foreign direct investment and exports are among the variables that significantly affect the relationship between public debt and economic growth. Policymakers should control the level of public debt and its drivers to support longer-term economic growth. The study also recommends that countries account for public debt and ensure that such debt is acquired only to finance profitable investments that generate future returns, and not for consumption, deficit reduction, wasteful spending, or political purposes.

This research examined the impact and challenges of globalization on railway transport sector in Africa. The study employed two railway companies as sample, state-owned railway company and private owned company. Using questionnaire as research instruments, data were collected and analyzed with simple percentages and non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis statistical tools. The major findings of the study were that: (a) the problem of competition and poor technology are the greatest challenges; (b) Railway companies with fewer globalization challenges perform significantly much better than those with more challenges; (c) Managers with positive attitude toward globalization perform significantly better than those with negative attitude and; (d) Railway state-owned receives government’s support but not enough to warrant its competitiveness. The study concluded that for railway sector to continue surviving in this globalization era, governments must immediately step up and render support to railway transport sector as opposed to only supporting road sector

Demystifying Literacy Disparities: The Interplay of Economic Conditions and Educational Spending Yangailo, Tryson

This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the interplay between literacy rates, GDP per capita, and government spending on education in different regions of the world. Using secondary data from the World Bank and Jamovi software for statistical analysis, the study reveals significant disparities in literacy rates. Europe and Central Asia (excluding high-income countries) have the highest literacy rates, while Sub-Saharan Africa and Central Europe and the Baltics have comparatively lower rates. The results of the correlation analysis show a weak linear relationship between GDP per capita and literacy rates, while a non-linear relationship indicates a stronger relationship. Government spending on education shows a moderate positive correlation with literacy rates, but the results of regression analysis reveal inefficiencies, suggesting that increased spending does not always translate into improved literacy outcomes. The study addresses gaps in the existing literature by challenging the simplistic view that higher economic growth and spending automatically improve literacy, and by highlighting the need for more targeted education policies.

Purpose: This study attempted to investigate the impact of education and training on product-service design by including competitive advantage as a moderating variable to provide more insight into the nature of this relationship. Design/methodology/approach: A quantitative research approach was employed, and primary data was collected from TAZARA management employees. Model fit, reliability, and validity were tested using regression analysis, factor analysis, and principal component analysis using Jamovi software. Findings: The results of the study present a significant positive relationship between education and training and product-service design. The results also show that competitive advantage negatively moderates the relationship between education and training and product-service design. Practical implications: The study provides more insights by providing empirical evidence on the nature of the relationship between education and training and product-service design. It is important for organizations to foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation. Managers should communicate the importance of adapting to changes in the marketplace, even when a competitive advantage exists. Balancing the preservation of what makes the organization successful with an openness to new ideas is critical to long-term sustainability and continued success in product-service design.
