This paper examines the gendered differences in management style and questioned whether the entrepreneurial style was gender neutral or if there was a particularly “feminine”, management style preferred by women entrepreneurs.

They took each and every problem as a challenge and provided innovative solutions. They dealt with the problem by taking it to experts or knowledgeable persons. Besides, they also depended on their intuition for solving the problems. Women entrepreneurs encouraged their people to introspect within themselves to analyses and rectify their mistakes.

Higher education in the United Kingdom is increasingly expected to be further involved in the process of students’ development beyond the requirement of the discipline in terms of knowledge and is demanded to be an active contributor to skills development to further meet the needs of the labour market. The purpose of the study is to provide understanding of ways to embedding employability skills in the curriculum of business management studies degrees. This understanding would be generated through the literature and collection of data based on focus group including small number of female students at the final year of their studies based in the UK. To further enhance this understanding this study included several key themes in the literature review, data collected, and discussion of findings as the following: Students’ perception of the role educational institutions should play.

The desire for the African Monetary Union and the creation of a unified currency for the African continent erupted after the monetary integration of Europe. This proposed African common currency for Africa, which would be known as ‘afro’ is expected to be effective by 2028. , the Eurozone crisis has obviously revealed that banking union and integrated financial market, fiscal union and integrated fiscal framework and political union are all required in a monetary union for completeness and sustainability. Unfortunately, these are issues not addressed by the OCA theory. This paper consequently discusses these flaws and highlights banking union, fiscal union and political union as imperatives for complete and sustainable monetary integration in Africa. These are from the viewpoints in various debates on the sustainability and completeness of the EMU as well as various revealed faults in the design of Eurozone and the defects inherent in the original optimum currency area (OCA) theory and its application to monetary integration.

Higher education in the United Kingdom is increasingly expected to be further involved in the process of students’ development beyond the requirement of the discipline in terms of knowledge and is demanded to be an active contributor to skills development to further meet the needs of the labour market. The purpose of the study is to provide understanding of female student’s perception of employability within business management disciplines. This understanding would be generated through the literature and collection of data based on focus group including small number of female students at the final year of their studies based in the UK.The study identified key gaps existed between students’ perceptions of employability and what can be expected in the outside world. The authors also could establish a new combined employability definition as the following: skills developed through academic, professional, social, and practical aspects during education that are required for employment in the labour market and to manage career prospects

In recent years, the academic focus of researchers has gradually shifted from the macro impact brought about by the “Belt and Road” initiative to the impact on micro-economic entities. This research aims to follow the trend and conduct quantitative research in the updated gravity model on micro-business entities. The analysis uses panel data of China’s OFDI flow from 59 countries along the “Belt and Road” route and relevant data from the host country from 2007 to 2018. This article follows the sampling method for the overall regression analysis. Besides, the research also divides the overall sample into Southeast Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, South Asia and West Asia. Accordingly, it examines samples of each region separately to study the differences in the influential level of main variables on China’s OFDI flow along the route. The study's statistical results imply that China’s direct investment in countries along the Belt and Road is affected by the host country’s market size, per capita income, resource endowments, technological endowments, and geographic distance
