Abstract: Business culture is an intriguing platform. Each company seeks better position, name, popularity, security and success. Overpowered with technology and intensifying outsourcing, today, the world seems very mechanical. Achieving goals and targets are no more velvety in business culture. The ceaseless run towards dreams and goals often lead to short cut methods like using unethical means, corrupted ways and exemption from social benevolence for business growth. Though initial results are satisfying but long terms achievements are doomed with downfall and failure over the business culture. At this expositional state, it has become increasingly important that business culture must ensure............

Abstract: Craft-entrepreneurs, being owner-managers, tend to be more assertive in their business ventures. Because of their skills they are likely to succeed than opportunistic-entrepreneur employee-managers who are third parties to the business. Literature links personnel assertiveness in management to probable business success. However, it is of concern that from 2008-2013, private primary schools in Kisumu Town owned by non-educationist opportunistic-entrepreneurs have on average been performing better, with a KCPE average mean score of 354, than those by educationist craft-entrepreneurs with 333. This is despite the fact that craft-entrepreneurs, who are specialists being trained teachers, are professionally qualified in both curriculum implementation and in school management...........

Abstract: The traditional cohort system does not cater to the expectations of all the stakeholders of management education. The rigid system tries to bring about parity in the output when the input to the system is not. Hence, with the changing students' expectations and the industry's demands, there arises the need for an innovative system. Fully Flexible Credit System fits this bill rightly. This paper brings out the appropriateness of Fully Flexible Credit System for management education.

Abstract: Options are effective risk management tools which are used worldwide. Options are a type of derivative instruments which will offer only the right but not the obligation to trade in a specific underlying asset. In order to occupy this right the option holder should pay premium while entering into an option contract. This Premium will act as a source of expense to the option holder and the same is a source of return to the option writer. Therefore option traders must be very careful while deciding on the price of an option contract that is the premium. It is a well known fact that premium outlay can be minimized by effectively implementing option trading strategies. This research study involves optimizing the returns to the option trader by analysing and identifying four...........
