The Role of Internal Audit on the Governance of Regulated Tier 4 Microfinance Institutions in Uganda

The Ugandan financial sector comprises non-deposit-taking microfinance institutions and deposit-taking institutions. Microfinance institutions provide financial assistance to the underprivileged worldwide to finance their small businesses. According to Ssekiziyivu et al. (2018), microfinance institutions in Uganda are essential in providing loans to support small and medium-sized firms that employ a large portion of the country’s workforce. Most microfinance institutions are non- deposit-taking microfinance institutions which lend to the majority of the small and medium-sized firms that contribute 20% of the gross domestic product and employ more than 60% of the labour force.

Regional Innovation System Resilience In Developing Countries: A Case Study Of Ukraine

A resilient region is seen as one that continues to prosper and maintain economic stability in the face of inevitable shocks and disruptions that occur over time (Christopherson et al., 2010, p. 134). The ability to adapt to changing circumstances and seize new opportunities, leading to increased innovation and competitive advantage, make such regions more attractive to businesses and investors by providing a stable environment in which to invest and grow. And, particularly, innovation systems at different levels (Rose & Krausmann, 2013) such as scientific communities of national academies of sciences are seen as key to developing regional resilience.

Janine Zitianellis Publishes Book Chapter on Big Data Analytics Capabilities

With the emergence of Big Data Technologies (BDT) and the growing application of Big Data Analytics (BDA), Supply Chain Management (SCM) researchers increasingly utilize BDA due to the opportunities that BDT and BDA present. Supply Chain (SC) data is inherently complex and results in an environment with high uncertainty, which presents a real challenge for SC decision-makers. This research study aimed to investigate and illustrate the application of BDA within the existing decision-making process. BDT allowed for the extraction and processing of SC data. BDA aided further understanding of SC inefficiencies and delivered valuable, actionable insights by validated the existence of the SC bullwhip phenomenon and its contributing factors. Furthermore, BDA enabled the pragmatic evaluation of linear and nonlinear regression SC relationships by applying machine learning techniques such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and multivariable regression analysis. Moreover, applying more sophisticated BDA time series and forecasting techniques such as Sarimax, Tbats, and neural networks improved forecasting accuracy. Ultimately, the improved demand planning and forecast accuracy will reduce SC uncertainty and the effects of the observed SC bullwhip phenomenon, thus creating a competitive advantage for all the members within the SC value chain.
