Abstract: All disciplines are rooted in their past. The conceptual framework of the discipline, theory and principles of the same has evolved historically from different social events and necessities. Our Great Epics like Bhagavat Gita, Vedas and Upanishats are treasures of knowledge; reflect the social organizations, events and social philosophies of that time and at the same time having multidimensional implications both in social and individual life and in different disciplines. The disciplinary relevance of such epics is one of the least explored research areas. The management as a separate discipline has evolved and developed only in the beginning of the 20th Century. But the conceptual and theoretical dimensions of the same are rooted from the time immemorial. This paper analyses and evaluates the Biblical events and narrations having modern managerial theoretical and practical implications. For this, the modern management principles suggested by Henry Fayol are subjected for evaluation in the light of Bible in order to explore the contributions made by the Biblical events and narrations in the construction of theoretical and conceptual foundations for modern management theory and practice.

Abstract: Inventory management and transportation have been the principal areas of focus in industrial engineering and management for a long time. Inventory management attracts considerable attention in logistics and supply chain management today because new supply chain models have become more integrative and complex. New market forces have introduced many complex elements which affect the performance of the supply chain in general and inventory level in particular. Inventory decisions are high risk and high impact for supply chain management. Hence, this paper compiles all the derivations of classical deterministic lot size economic order quantity models and proposes a new method to verify the formula.

Abstract: This paper emphasizes that Business and Commerce are performing arts requiring inculcation of professional operative skills. However, every art and skill requires scientific knowledge as basic foundation in theory. Acquisition of theoretical knowledge sharpens human faculties of mind and intellect. Thus, a system of business and commerce education should equip the student with the knowledge of theory which he should apply in performing and practicing art, and getting knowledge from experience. A person should be made capable of thinking independently and should not depend on borrowed concepts or thorough. Similarly, he should develop a problem - oriented approach based on experience and not on a study of hypothetical situation. The paper stresses that training in applied business-science is a part of social responsibility of business.

Abstract: Over the last few years, the Niger Delta region has witnessed a climate of persistent insecurity. The high rate of unemployment among the youths, and poverty has helped to drive and sustain high levels of violence and criminality throughout the region. This has adversely affected sustainable development. This paper looks at the relationship between justice, security and sustainable development in the Niger Delta, and concludes that without justice and security, the prospects for sustainable development remain a mirage. The paper further argues that sustainable development and security in the Niger Delta region will depend on the right government policy and the willingness of the citizens to cooperate with the law enforcement agencies in preventing crime. It recommends that development, skills acquisition and constructive engagement should be the choice weapons for addressing the problem of justice and security in the Niger Delta.
