Abstract: Transformational Leadership style has been a dominant construct in leadership research today and in fact has lead to a paradigm shift in leadership thinking. However, very little has been done on the relationship between transformational leadership style and organizational performance in Nigerian work context, making this the main motivator for this study. This paper relied on secondary data as its major source of information; this is to say that the primary method of study was an extensive review of available literature for description and analysis of the subject matter. The paper concluded that transformational leadership style has a nship with organisational performance in Nigerian work context and therefore recommended that organizations who want to improve or ensure optimal organisational performance must adopt leadership style that fits the settings in which the followers and leadership interact and also training to enhance this leadership style (transformational) should be encouraged in Nigerian work context.

Abstract: Since the 1980s when globalization became intense as a result of technological advancement in communication, transportation as well as Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAP) that facilitated economic liberalization, socio-economic systems, structures, relations and processes have witnessed tremendous changes, emerging trends and patterns. Just like the Industrial Revolution and the Great Depression, globalization has significantly restructured the way work had been. To this extent, certain work trends have emerged. These trends include: the rise of knowledge workers; work and employment flexibility; outsourcing; and the need to ensure a work-life balance. These are aimed at ensuring maximum production from the workforce, at the lowest possible cost. However, evidence from literature suggests that most developing countries, Nigeria inclusive, are marginal participants in the globalization process and allied issues, including work. To this end, this paper discusses the implications of these emerging trends for organizations in Nigeria. It concluded by recommending that while these trends must be integrated as part of contemporary business culture, however, a sociological caution should be taken for these to be effectively integrated. Also, it was recommended that the development of high-performance manpower with critical knowledge that will drive these trends is imperative.

Abstract: Sound financial environment of the banking industry is the guarantee not only to her depositors but equally significant to the shareholders, employees and the whole economy as well. In line to this, efforts have been made from time to time to measure the performance of banks in the country. A number of factors are used in the measurement of banks performance in a typical developing economy and among these is profitability. This study was based on the determinants of banks profitability in Nigeria: using CAMEL model. The objective of the study was to determine the impact of CAMEL on the profitability of Nigerian banks. The data of the commercial banks in Nigeria were obtained for the period of 2001 to 2010. The model was estimated using ordinary least square method and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 19. The findings based on the analysis elucidate that liquidity has a significant impact on banks profitability while capital adequacy, assets quality, management efficiency, earning did not. It was then recommended that banks should make sure that they maintain a reasonable liquidity position at all times to meet up regular financial obligations thereby maintaining depositors' confidence in the industry and increase profitability.

Abstract: This paper studies the randomness of stock prices in India over the period from January 1999 to December 2009. The study is based on the closing prices of 20 stocks actively traded belonging to 20 different industries listed with the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and BSE Sensex 30. The study used the parametric and nonparametric tests of randomness. The Parametric tests include autocorrelation, standard error, t test and probable error. The nonparametric tests include the runs tests. Both the parametric and nonparametric tests rejected the null hypothesis that the prices are random. The study finds that the price distribution of the stocks and the market index is not normal. The data related to the skewness and kurtosis reveals large scale asymmetry in the distribution. There are strong evidences for non-randomness and interdependence of prices within the series implying that the Indian stock market is inefficient in weak form.
