This study examined the relationship between competitive risk and entrepreneurial satisfaction in fast moving consuming goods (FMCG) firms in Nigeria during covid-19 pandemic era. The study adopted quasi-experimental design and cross sectional design. Data were generated by quantitative and qualitative method. The employed used judgemental sampling techniques and non-proportionate stratified random sampling techniques. A total population of 6000, sample size estimate of 360 was determined using Krejcie and Morgan Table. Also, 360 copies of questionnaire were distributed to the accessible entrepreneurs’, while 329 copies were completed and retrieved. The instruments were validated with reliability above 0.7 Co-efficient, using SplitHalf Method to determine the internal consistency. Two research questions and two hypotheses were raised which was tested with Pearson Product Moment Correlation and KMO/Barllet’s test for the sampling adequacy for data appropriateness and sphericity respectively via SPSS 25 version. From the findings, the concept of competitive risk creates positive impact on client satisfaction. In conclusion, entrepreneurial risk cost strategy and differentiation risk strategy have significant influence on the entrepreneurial satisfaction of the FMCG firms. Based on the findings and conclusion, this study contributes to the knowledge that entrepreneurial satisfaction could be the sustaining and surviving concept to entrepreneurs if always considered in decision making during covid-19 pandemic era; while the differentiation risk cost strategy could give the FMCG firms a leading edge rather than bleeding if integrated with client satisfaction. It could be recommended that fast moving consuming goods firms should improvise entrepreneurial risk cost as strategy, because during the covid-19 pandemic the income level of client were affected in Nigeria. Hence, the entrepreneurs should employed cost advantage to domicile the FMCG markets to satisfied their client which enable them to gain large proportion of the market share ratio.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to report on an applied research project that was conceived in response to the low number of Emirati high school graduates entering directly into undergraduate programmes in higher education institutions mainly due to lack of adequate academic English proficiency. Performing well in international standardised testing such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is of primary importance in preparing non-English speaking learners for higher education delivered through the medium of English. Design/methodology/approach – Three hundred ninety-one secondary education Emirati students were involved in an intervention study. The study was cross-sectional, and it used a pre/post-design to measure change and impact on the students’ IELTS scores with comparisons between different experimental groups by gender, region and overall. Additional attitudinal data were collected using a survey with students, teachers and principals involved in the intervention programme. Findings – Results showed a statistically significant and educationally meaningful pre/post-improvement for the students who attended the IELTS preparation programme and a positive attitude towards the intervention programme. Research limitations/implications – A limitation of the study is that it used a quasi-experimental design with some threats to the validity of the design, so some caution is suggested in drawing conclusions which are too strong. Originality/value – This project is the first of its kind in the United Arab Emirated as it endeavoured to raise secondary education Emirati students’ awareness of the knowledge and skills involved in succeeding in the IELTS exam and provided evidence of the kind of programme that could have a positive impact on student learning.

Abstract. Background: Worldwide prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD) is increasing and peripheral vascular intervention (PVI) has become the primary invasive treatment. There is evidence that multidisciplinary team decision-making (MTD) has an impact on in-hospital outcomes. This study aims to depict practice patterns and time changes regarding MTD of different medical specialties. Methods: This is a retrospective cross-sectional study design. 20,748 invasive, percutaneous PVI of PAD conducted in the metropolitan area of Hamburg (Germany) were consecutively collected between January 2004 and December 2014. Results: MTD prior to PVI was associated with lower odds of early unsuccessful termination of the procedures (Odds Ratio 0.662, p < 0.001). The proportion of MTD decreased over the study period (30.9 % until 2009 vs. 16.6 % from 2010, p < 0.001) while rates of critical limb-threatening ischemia (34.5 % vs. 42.1 %), patients´ age (70 vs. 72 years), PVI below-the-knee (BTK) (13.2 % vs. 22.4 %), and rates of severe TASC C/D lesions BTK (43.2 % vs. 54.2 %) increased (all p < 0.001). Utilization of MTD was different between medical specialties with lowest frequency in procedures performed by internists when compared to other medical specialties (7.1 % vs. 25.7 %, p < 0.001). Conclusions: MTD prior to PVI is associated with technical success of the procedure. Nonetheless, rates of MTD prior to PVI are decreasing during the study period. Future studies should address the impact of multidisciplinary vascular teams on long-term outcomes.
