Abstract Background: The Community Mental Health Model (CMHM) is suggested by the World Health Organization as appropriate for effective delivery of mental health care. However, the state of Nigeria's mental health care is precarious. This is particularly traceable to the lack of awareness, stigmatization, inadequate or poor services, as well as ineffective government policies. Objectives: The goal of this study was to investigate mental health practices and policy implementation among mental healthcare practitioners in Southern Nigeria. Materials and Methods: The mixed-method research leveraged on quantitative and qualitative data which used a total population and purposive sampling respectively. Data collection was via a researcher-administered questionnaire, and in-depth interviews. Results: Data analysis using SPSS Version 20 and NVivo 12 revealed that the mental healthcare model in the study area is a combination of out-patient, in-patient, and CMHM. Participants showed a good level of awareness of CMHM. They also identified barriers to mental healthcare, including stigmatization and financial constraints. While most participants acknowledged the adoption of the Nigerian mental health policy of 2013, its implementation was notably inadequate. Conclusion: A strong necessity to reform Nigeria's existing mental health care with proper policy guide is imperative in this study. This will tilt the nation towards international standards and global best practices, and guarantee the most efficient and effective mental health service delivery to the Nigerian people.

Abstract There has been a going concern in the use of corporate entrepreneurship as a means for corporations to enhance the innovative abilities of their employees and increase in corporate success through the creation of new corporate ventures. However, the creation of corporate activity is difficult since it involves radically changing internal organizational behavior patterns. Recent studies examined the effect of a firm’s strategy, organization and external environment. It shows that the environment plays a profound role is influencing corporate entrepreneurship whereas there is consensus that the external environment is an important antecedent of corporate entrepreneurship. Looking at the environment, the literature highlights two research questions that deserve examination. First, how do firms that compete in different environments vary in the corporate entrepreneurship activities? Second, which corporate entrepreneurship activities are conductive to superior performance in different environments? This paper develops the theoretical foundation of theses questions also looking at the relationship between corporate entrepreneurship and strategic management in an integrating model of corporate entrepreneurship, giving special attention to the strategic behavior and corporate context

Abstract Employees relationship management is a comprehensive approach that is accountable for an employer-employee relationship. It also reflects a delicate balance in the development, recognition of human capital, and interaction in the organization. Today, employee relationship management has become important for gaining competitive advantage and improving performance. Hence the reward system serves as a systematic practice to achieve positive outcomes or consequences. The existence of these connections in the theoretical discussions led to the study of the connection between employee relationship management mechanisms and employee performance, with reward as a contributory factor in the organization. Data for the study were obtained using the questionnaire survey method. Two hundred and twenty-two (222) employees of organizations in the telecommunications segment were selected as the statistical sample and two hundred and ten (210) responded to the questionnaire questions. The outcomes of the data analysis revealed that reward moderates the relationship between employee relationship management (ERM) component and employee’s performance in the telecommunications sector in Nigeria. The study contributed to the literature on employee relationship management, particularly on the association between employee relationship management, rewards, and its contribution to employee performance in the telecommunications subdivision in Nigeria.

Abstract One of the rapidly expanding disciplines that are gaining greater attention in the corporate sector is artificial intelligence (AI). Artificial intelligence is already being used in a wide range of industries, including everyday life and commerce or entrepreneurship. This study examines the strategic impact of AI on Entrepreneurial Creativity and management. The study adopted qualitative and expository analysis through the extensive review of literature as a methodology. The corporate sector may become dependent on quicker, less expensive, and more accurate marketing strategies as a result of the use of AI. By utilizing AI in marketing strategies, an entrepreneur may increase audience reaction and establish a strong competitive advantage over other online firms. In addition to marketing, it may revitalize businesses through creative ideas. Additionally, it provides solutions for challenging jobs, which aids in the rapid expansion of businesses. As a result, we will talk about the development of the business sector, how entrepreneurs use AI topology, and how it plays a variety of roles in the business. The study concludes that artificial intelligence (AI) significantly and positively affects entrepreneurial creativity and management as well as also having a significant and negative effect on human creativity. This conclusion explains the finding that as AI is taking all aspect of works from humans, it will lead to lack of creativity and redundancy on the part of humans while on the other hand it will inspire more creativity and innovation on some humans in their quest to keep their jobs. This study recommends more robust top-level AI design and implementation within the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Abstract The study investigated the strategic impact of knowledge entrepreneurship on Foreign Direct investment in Nigeria. This study examined the rate of foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Nigeria because the country has witnessed massive downward sliding of foreign direct investment in recent times. To solve this problem, this study is aimed at ascertaining the nature of impact Knowledge entrepreneurship has on foreign direct investment. The study also investigated the cause of the massive downward sliding of foreign direct investment in Nigeria. This study adopted the survey design. Simple random sampling technique was used in selecting the 200 staff of selected foreign direct investment firms in Nigeria.
