Abstract

Purpose: This research focused on investigating alternative financing instruments for SMEs in the province. This is in view of the fact debt financing has failed to support anticipated growth in the sector as a result of the associated costs. Research Methodology: A case study research design was used for the Mashonaland Central Province. The province's eight (Aziz & Abbas) districts—Bindura, Guruve, Mazowe, Mbire, Mt. Darwin, Muzarabani (Centenary), Rushinga, and Shamva—make up the research population for this study. Since financing is at the core of their viability issues, the study sample, which consists of the province's SMEs, was selected to learn more about how they operate and how they can finance their operations in a sustainable way. 2021 secondary data gathered from these districts were used in the study. This is a secondary study in which Excel-based methods were used to analyze data from the target population. Results: Data analysis shows that unemployed people are absorbed in three sectors: SMEs, vendors, and cooperatives. Overall, SMEs account for 30%, Vending 61%, and Cooperatives 9% of employment. It can also be noted that approximately 80% of SMEs in the province are generally engaged in transport, retail trading, flea markets, and home industries. Conclusions: Adopting asset-based lending and factoring models offers a viable alternative to traditional debt financing for SMEs in Mashonaland Province, supporting sustainable and inclusive economic growth while addressing the sector's need for stable working capital. Limitations: The study is limited to Mashonaland Central province; hence, the results may not be applicable in locations with different environments. Contribution:  The study concludes that the SMEs sector in the province is a low-risk and low-return enterprise run on a subsistence basis aimed at maintaining an adequate working capital base. Based on these observations, the study recommends that an asset-based lending model or a factoring model be adopted. These financing models are sound enough to support sustainable and inclusive economic growth based on circular economic principles. This is a clear break from the debt financing model, which has presented a number of challenges over the years. To this end, there is a need for the government and other stakeholders to develop educational campaigns that ensure that SMEs appreciate the operations and importance of these new concepts in business financing so that there is inclusive adoption.

Abstract

Purpose: In the arena of digital banking, internet banking has become a hotcake. As internet banking becomes an increasingly integral component of the financial services sector, understanding the determinants that drive or inhibit its adoption among active customers is crucial for both banks and policymakers. Research Methodology: The research employs a quantitative. A structured questionnaire were used to collect data from the customers, focusing on key constructs such as technological device self-efficacy (TSE), user-friendly (UF), beneficial (B) , security concerns (SC), features of the apps (FA), trust, social influence (SI). In this study answer sheets were provided to 350 banking service consumers out of which only 174 answered the questions. After discarding the incomplete answer sheets, a total of 146 were found suitable for the study. Statistical analyses, including descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression, are applied to identify and quantify the relationships between these factors and behavioral intentions. Results: According to the findings, the intention of users to use internet banking services in Bangladesh was significantly predicted by the user-friendly (B = 0.708, t = 5.585; p < 0.000) and features of the applications (B = 0.392, t = 2.443; p < 0.016). On the other hand, in Bangladesh, the behavioral intention to use internet banking is most significantly impacted by user friendly. Limitations: The study is only geographically focused on Bangladesh and may ignore the influence of external factors (such as regulatory changes and economic fluctuations), which may significantly influence consumer adoption decisions. Contribution: The study will contribute to the academic literature by extending the existing theories of technology adoption in the context of internet banking in Bangladesh. The findings of this study will assist strategic decisions, policy formulation, and initiatives to promote greater adoption and effective use of Internet banking services.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial self-efficacy interact to identify and create entrepreneurial opportunities for start-ups a successful business in North Central Nigeria. Research Methodology: Primary data were collected using questionnaires from a sample size of 354 SMEs owners and  analyzed using PLS-SEM version 4.1.0.4. Results: The results indicated significant positive relationships between EO and SP, EO and ESU, ESU and SP, EO and EOP, and EOP and SP. Mediation analysis revealed partial mediation of EOP and ESU on the relationship between EO and SP. The moderation analysis revealed that with an increase in ESE, the relationship between EO and SP is strengthened; ESE does not moderate the relationship between EO and ESU; higher ESE weakens the positive impact of ESU on SP, while a higher value of ESE results in a stronger relationship between EOP and SP, as depicted in graph 1-4. Limitations: The study is limited to entrepreneurial orientation, self-efficacy, opportunities, and startups in North Central Nigeria. Contribution: This study provides valuable insights to policymakers in entrepreneurship to create a holistic orientation policy that will ensure that people see the need and opportunities to engage in farming in order to ensure profits for the individual and food availability for the majority population. Originality: This is the first study in Nigeria (Africa) to test how entrepreneurial orientation and self-efficacy interact to identify and create opportunities to start a successful business.

Abstract

Purpose: This  study ascertains how succession-planning practices affect employee relations in public healthcare facilities in Zimbabwe. Research Methodology: The pragmatism philosophy, which emphasizes relevance in interpreting mixed-method data, served as the foundation for this study. A sample size of 60 respondents was chosen from 120 healthcare professionals. A descriptive method was used for data analysis using SPSS and theme analyses. Results: The results revealed that although succession planning exists in healthcare institutions, its implementation is shambolic, heightening its negative impact on employee relations, as evidenced by high staff turnover. Limitations: Despite adopting a mixed-method approach, the findings could not unravel the effective implementation of succession planning in the whole country; hence, the results from one institution cannot be generalized. Contribution:  Effective succession planning results in better employee relationships, lower uncertainty, increased engagement, and boosted morale among staff members. It can also broaden our understanding of best practices in succession planning.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the nexus between remittances and economic growth in Zimbabwe. Methods: The research employed the Granger Causality test using annual time series data from 1980 to 2022. Preliminary diagnostic tests including stationarity, cointegration, and error correction modeling were conducted to ensure methodological rigor. Results: Findings reveal that remittances are not significantly influenced by GDP, as shown by a P-value of 0.5158. Conversely, remittances significantly drive Zimbabwe’s economic growth with a P-value of 0.0429. This highlights remittances as a vital income source that fuels household consumption, investment, and financial inclusion. The unidirectional causality emphasizes their role as a stable economic pillar independent of GDP fluctuations. Conclusion: The study demonstrates that remittances Granger-cause economic growth in Zimbabwe, but GDP does not Granger-cause remittances. This underlines the critical role of remittance inflows in sustaining consumption, supporting human capital investment, and strengthening financial development in the context of economic instability and high emigration. Limitation: The research faced challenges in accessing complete and reliable data, requiring innovative strategies to address missing values and restricting analysis to annual data. Contribution: The results provide context-specific evidence useful for scholars and policymakers in designing strategies to better channel remittances into productive investments. The study contributes by clarifying the causal mechanism between remittances and growth in Zimbabwe and offering insights for policy initiatives aimed at economic recovery and sustainable development.
