Title | : | In what senses can philosophy be said to be objective? |
Country | : | India |
Authors | : | Dr. S. B. M. Marume || Dr. Chipo Mutongi || R.R. Jubenkanda || C.W. Namusi || N. C. Madziyire |
Abstract:According to empirico-rationalists scientists (S. B. M. Marume: 1983, 1988 and 2015), no knowledge can be of usefulness unless it is objectively acquired. The scientists and the philosopher try as much as possible to eliminate preconceived ideas, prejudices and proclivities, and allow the facts to speak for themselves. They fully appreciate that in the process on knowledge there is, on the one hand, the receptiveness of the senses which convey to us the empirical data from the world around us (empiricism) and , on the other
hand, thee human reason and human capacity for thought (rationalism). These two methodological systems process and interrelate the material gained through the senses, systematically transforming it into systems of knowledge......

Title | : | Access to Finance as Potential Moderator on the Relationship between Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy and SMEs Performance in Nigeria: A Proposed Framework |
Country | : | Malaysia |
Authors | : | Kabir Shamsudeen || Ooi Yeng Keat || Hazlinda Hassan |
Abstract:Though, the important influence of SMEs on economic growth is acknowledged, still the performance of Nigerian SMEs is below expectation. The contribution of SMEs to GDP shows a gross underperformance. In addition, SMEs high failure rate is another sign of low performance. On the other hand, poor access to finance conquers a central position for the low performance of Nigerian SMEs. The paper presents a theoretical framework on the moderating effect of access to finance on the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and SMEs performance in Nigeria. If validated, the model would have policy implications to SMEs owner/managers and other stakeholders in decision making.
