Finding out the general trends of mobility in entrepreneurship can be used in the effective motivational activities. As Sylhet is a remittance and raw materials rich but industrially backward area, the mobility of entrepreneurship in both aspects in this area is to be analyzed. The researchers tired to find out the trends from inter generation and intra generation mobility along with location mobility from the entrepreneurs of two industrial estates of Sylhet district. The selective sampling technique is used to select 20 entrepreneurs from different industries to represents all the industrial groups.

This happened in both inter generation and intra generation mobility. The location mobility followed the convenience in operation like proximity to market, nearness to home and other family needs, utilities, infrastructure, socio-political environment, etc. So the entrepreneurial development program in this region should highlights those points and motivate the entrepreneurs to build a perfect entrepreneurial base in this area.   }, keywords = {Entrepreneurs,Mobility,Industrial Estate}, url = {https://www.msaes.org/article_7584.html}, eprint = {https://www.msaes.org/article_7584_395449ff6c4cfe831d530e18b536df93.pdf} } @article { author = {Odinakachi Njoku, Charles and Ezeji Chigbu, Emmanuel and Akujuobi, A.B.C.}, title = {Public Expenditure and Economic Growth in Nigeria (A Granger Causality Approach) 1983-2012}, journal = {Management Studies and Economic Systems}, volume = {1}, number = {3}, pages = {147-160}, year = {2015}, publisher = {ZARSMI}, issn = {2408-9583}, eissn = {2313-5166}, doi = {}, abstract = {This paper examines the impact of government expenditure on the Nigerian economy for the period 1983 - 2012. The government expenditure components used as the explanatory variables in the model are: expenditures on Health, Education, Defense, Agriculture and Transportation and Communication. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was used as a parameter for measuring economic growth. In order to establish the link between Government expenditure and economic growth in Nigeria, secondary data were collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (Stationarity) unit root test revealed that there is no unit root in the variables. The Johansen cointegration test result confirms that a long run relationship exists between the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and government expenditure on Health, Education, Defense, Agriculture and Transportation and Communication. The pairwise granger causality test reveals that dual causalities exists between Government expenditure on health and the GDP, expenditure on education and GDP, expenditure on Agriculture and GDP and expenditure on Transport and Communication and GDP while the Gross Domestic Product causes Defense expenditure. This study concludes that a significant relationship exists between government expenditure and the Gross Domestic Product. It recommends strict monitoring of the expenditure on defense and the provision of modern equipments for the navy, the army and the air force as this would help in fighting the increasing rate of insurgency in the North. There is also need for the increased funding to these critical sectors of the economy in order to facilitate economic growth and the attainment of the millennium development goals.  }, keywords = {Economic Growth,Government Expenditure,Cointegration,Granger causality,Nigeria}, url = {https://www.msaes.org/article_7585.html}, eprint = {https://www.msaes.org/article_7585_957d381beec14f6a2a1355c1c0482480.pdf} } @article { author = {Ali, Amjad and Zilli, Abu Sufiyan}, title = {Quality of Work Life and Ego-Strength as a Predictor of Organizational Commitment: A Study of Managerial Personnel}, journal = {Management Studies and Economic Systems}, volume = {1}, number = {3}, pages = {161-169}, year = {2015}, publisher = {ZARSMI}, issn = {2408-9583}, eissn = {2313-5166}, doi = {}, abstract = {The present research intends to understand the influence of manager’s perception of quality of work life and Ego-Strength on their Organizational commitment.
