Abstract: A business develops in course of time with complexities. With increasing complexities managing the business has become a difficult task. The need of existence of management has increased tremendously. Management is essential not only for business concerns but also for banks, schools, colleges, hospitals, hotels, religious bodies, charitable trusts etc. Every business unit has some objectives of its own. These objectives can be achieved with electronic management. Electronic systems become obsolete so rapidly that it is unrealistic for these systems to remain usable for the length of time that the organization will need the records that are created by them. This fact is a characteristic that distinguishes electronic records from paper records. Electronic records have to be migrated on to new systems in such a way that they can still read and understood while maintaining their integrity and authenticity..........

Abstract: In the business world today, investors have different expectations when it comes to dividend payment. While some prefer low payout ratio, others prefer high payout ratio and as a result, determining an optimum payout ratio that meets the investors' expectations becomes a difficult task. The payout ratio derives a lot from the dividend policy of organizations and the dividend policy of an organization is believed to have an effect on the prices/values of its shares. This study aimed at evaluating the payout ratios of companies and the extent of their effects/relationship on the share price of Nigerian quoted manufacturing companies using five (5) of such companies for a ten years period, making a fifty (50) firm...........

Abstract: Mobile Health (mHealth) and Mobile Money (mMoney) are leading-edge applications that can assist better people's lives and bridge the digital gap. They are contemporary examples of Advanced Networking being put to everyday use, and demand the same considerations in relation to confidentiality, integrity and availability that are at the heart of all other applications of advanced networking infrastructure. mHealth is a way to help ease pressure on the health systems around the world. mMoney also known as branchless banking is another way of making life easier for people in Botswana and around the world. Branchless banking assists customers by saving them the trouble of going to access money from an ATM machine or having to go to a bank. This research paper explores the security and networking challenges that affect the successful adoption of mMoney and mHealth. The research methods used in this paper consist of a wide review of existing literature review and primary data collected. The data was collected using surveys, namely questionnaires and interviews. Users of mHealth and mMoney were given questionnaires........

Abstract: This article presents the author's series model to predict the stock exchange. The algorithm is based on the artificial neural networks and multi-resolution analysis. However, the main feature of the algorithm, which gives a good quality of the forecasts, is all included in the division of the series analysis, a few partial under-series and prediction dependence of a number of other economic series. The algorithm used for prediction is an author's algorithm, labeled M.H-D_w1 in this article. When choosing the series for the model one should be led by the principle that the forecast index changes are dependent, to some extent, on the basic changes with some time delay. A feature of the algorithm.........
