The study examined the impact of effective asset management on financial performance of Nigerian consumer goods corporations. The specific objectives of the study were to determine the effect of Account Receivables Turnover Ratio, Inventory Turnover Ratio and Property, Plant and Equipment (PPE) Turnover Ratio on Return on Assets (ROA) of Consumer Goods Firms in Nigeria. The research design employed in this study was <em>ex post facto</em>, spanning the years 2013 to 2022. Secondary data were extracted from the annual reports and accounts of the selected consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The data analysis involved multiple panel regression using a fixed effect model. The result revealed that the Account Receivables Turnover ratio has a positive (t-Statistic 2.92988) and significant (p-value 0.0267) effect on the Return on Assets of the sampled Consumer Goods Firms in Nigeria. Similarly, the Inventory Turnover Ratio demonstrated a positive (t-Statistic of 4.41911) and significant (p-value 0.0010) effect on the Return on Assets of these firms. Additionally, the Property, Plant, and Equipment Turnover Ratio exhibited a positive (t-Statistic 2.25927) and significant effect (p-value 0.0140) on the Return on Assets of the sampled Consumer Goods Firms in Nigeria. The findings implies that efficient management of account receivables, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment turnover can significantly contribute to enhancing the financial performance of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. In conclusion, the study demonstrates the positive and statistically significant effects of Account Receivables Turnover, Inventory Turnover, and Property, Plant, and Equipment Turnover Ratios on the Return on Assets of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study recommended that management of consumer goods firms in Nigeria should focus on optimizing their account receivables, inventory, and property, plant, and equipment turnover as strategies to improve financial performance.

Abstract The study is based on corporate social responsibility and financial performance of companies in Nigeria. The study focuses on the issues and ideologies that surround the practices of corporate social responsibility by consumer goods companies in Nigeria. The main objective of the study is to explore the impact of corporate social responsibility on profit after tax, earnings per share and net asset per share of listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria. The study adopts ex-post facto research design. Data were collected from financial reports of five listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria for a period of 5 years from 2015 to 2019. The financial reports and the hypotheses were statistically analysed using the panel data regression analysis. The results revealed a positive but insignificant effect of corporate social responsibility on profit after tax, earnings per share and net asset per share. According to the findings of the study, corporate social responsibility requires more attention and commitment from corporations because it ensures benefits other than profits which in the end boost financial performance.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates how board attributes (BA) affect the stock returns (SR) of Nigerian quoted consumer goods companies (QCGC). Size, independence, and financial knowledge of the board were all employed as predictor variables. For the purpose of addressing the problem, this investigation chose descriptive and expost facto methodology as well as positivist view point. The twenty-three (23) QCGC of the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NES) as of 2020 made up the population. A sample size of sixteen (16) QCGC was obtained using the purposive sampling procedure. Secondary sources were employed to compile the study's data. The data were gathered from the yearly financial reports of the selected corporations for ten (10) years (2011-2020). With the use of STATA-13, the study used multiple regression as the analysis method. The study utilised the Hausman specification test to examine endogeneity because the data it used were panel data (i.e., crosssectional time series data). The Breusch-Pagan test for heteroscedasticity and the test for Multicollinearity utilizing the Variance Inflation Factor (VIF) were additional robustness tests used in this study to assess the model's suitability and the validity of the results. According to the overall regression result indicated by the R-squared, BAs can be utilised to forecast how SRs would behave in the QCGC. Accordingly, it was discovered that board independence and financial skill had a positive significant effect on SRs, whereas board size has no significant impact on SRs of QCGC in Nigeria. According to the study's findings, the board of directors of QCGCs should expand their capability for monitoring discretionary management conduct by adding at least three accounting and financial professionals to the board to advance the quality of earnings.

Full textAbstract:
The lack of clarity in tax laws, coupled with frequent amendments and revisions, has given rise to uncertainty, hindering strategic planning and impeding long-term investment decisions. As a consequence, the publicly traded consumer goods firms in Nigeria face the formidable task of not only understanding and complying with the intricate tax structures but also striving to maintain competitiveness in an environment where the tax burden is increasingly becoming a pivotal determinant of business success. Given the foregoing this study examined tax reforms and tax burden: a study of listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria. In order to achieve the goals of the study, a longitudinal panel research design was implemented. The study concentrated on twelve consumer goods corporations that are publicly traded on the stock market. The selection of these companies was based on their continuous publication of annual audited financial statements from 2013 to 2022. The data obtained from these reports were analysed using the panel data regression approach, with the assistance of statistical tools like E-view 10. The study's findings indicated that direct tax exerts insignificant effect on tax burden of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. While indirect tax on the other hand, has a negative significant effect on tax burden of consumer goods firms in Nigeria. The study thus recommends that consumer goods firms should consider engaging with policymakers and tax authorities to advocate for favorable indirect tax policies. Collaborative efforts with government agencies can contribute to creating a tax environment that aligns with business needs and minimizes the negative impact on the tax burden

Full textAbstract:
At present, corporations are spending a lot of energy on establishing an appropriate dividend policy that will bring into balance the needs of present and future stakeholders. Low dividend payout among Nigeria listed consumer-goods firms is a major problem. Dividend policy commands the amount paid out to shareholders by a company. In practice, this is difficult to correctly establish. Can the CEO help in making correct decisions? In this article, we are interested in this question and many more on the characteristics of the CEO. We consider six CEO features: duality, nation, female, tenure, turnover, equity ownership. We construct a dividend policy index from yield, per share, payout, and dividend to asset ratio. We analyze 16 Nigeria listed consumer goods firms for ten years: 2012-2021 (160 dataset) to probe CEOs’ influence on dividend policy. Our results show that, consistent with the Agency theory, Nigeria consumer-goods firms’ dividend policies are affected by their CEO duality, nationality, gender, tenure, turnover and equity ownership. In addition, listing age and firm size are determinants of dividend policy, however, leverage is not. These results are useful to regulators, shareholders and board of directors in regulating and appointment of firm’s CEO. This is among the few studies linking CEO with dividend policy using Nigeria panel data, however, more studies are needed; because the economy is relatively small and unstable.

Full textAbstract:
Today's organisations value sustainability more. Thus, organisations, particularly those in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) business, have aligned goals to focus on efficiency and environmental responsibility. FMCG firms suffer from non-sustainability because of mismanaged green logistics operations such as green production, procurement, transportation, packaging, and reverse logistics. Many current studies focus more on industrialised countries than developing nations and non-FMCG businesses. This research examined Lagos State, Nigeria FMCG businesses' financial sustainability and green logistical practices. The study was survey-based. The survey included 13,782 managerial staff from eight listed FMCG corporations in Lagos State, Nigeria. Taro Yamane formula was used to calculate 519 sample size. Simple random sampling was used. Structured and validated questionnaires data was collected. Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient ranged from 0.78 to 0.94. The response rate was 96.7%. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including multiple and hierarchical regression, were employed. The results indicated that the implementation of green logistics methods did not have a statistically significant impact on the financial sustainability of the chosen FMCG companies in Lagos State, Nigeria. (Adj.R2 = 0.001, F(5, 496) = 1.11, p > 0.05). The study concluded that green logistics practices promote firm sustainability of selected FMCG firms in Lagos State, Nigeria. This study recommended that the management of FMCG firms in Lagos State, Nigeria should embrace a comprehensive strategy towards sustainability, integrating green logistics practices into their broader sustainability strategy to enhance their long-term sustainability.

Full textAbstract:
The general purpose of this study is to determine whether trade receivable influences the financial performance of listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria. The specific objectives are: to ascertain if Account Collection Period (ACP) influences Net Profit Margin of listed consumers goods companies in Nigeria, to investigate if Account Receivable Turnover (ART) influences Net Profit Margin of listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria, to evaluate if Account Collection Period (ACP) influences Return on Asset of listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria, to determine if Account Receivable Turnover (ART) influences Return on Asset of listed consumer goods companies in Nigeria. The methodology adopted in the study was ex-post facto research design. The Secondary data used was obtained from annual report and account of ten selected consumer goods companies in Nigeria stock exchange from 2012-2021. The statistical tools used include descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis. The finding showed that Trade Receivable had a significant positive relationship with Financial Performance. It was discovered that Account Collection Period had a negative relationship between Net Profit Margin and Return on Asset, while Account Receivable Turnover (ART) had a positive relationship between Net Profit Margin and Return on Assets. The study therefore concludes that trade receivable influenced financial performance. It was recommended among other that managers of listed consumer goods companies should adopt efficient credit policy that will ensure short period of account receivable in order to improve financial performance of their corporation.

Full textAbstract:
The primary focus of this study was to examine the influence of audit client importance on earnings management of Nigerian listed consumer goods firms. The study adopted a descriptive research design. From 2012 to 2019, data were collected from 13 consumer goods firms listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group. Discretionary accrual was used to estimate earnings management.Descriptive statistics and random effects regression were used to analyse the data.

The study concluded that earnings management practices of Nigerian listed consumer goods firms are curtailed when the firms are of important clients to their auditors. The recommendation was that management of firms should enhance approaches that will improve their performance in terms of sales to remain important clients to their auditors.

Full textAbstract:
In a bid to responding to market demand, attaining business stability and a decent profit increase, growth has become the quest of all business owners. The study examined capital structure on growth of Nigerian quoted consumer goods firms. The population consisted of 20 Nigerian consumer goods companies as of 31st December 2018 out of which, 10 were selected as the sample size. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The study revealed capital structure has no significant influence on the revenue growth of Nigerian quoted consumer goods firms (Adj.R2= 0.050510, F(6) = 1.702302, p>0.05); capital structure significantly affects total assets growth of Nigerian quoted consumer goods firms (Adj.R2= 0.073621, F(6) = 3.622586, p<0.05) and there is no significant relationship between capital structure and the earnings growth of Nigerian quoted consumer goods firms (Adj.R2= -0.025329, F(6) = 0.184805, p>0.05). The study found that capital structure has no significant influence on earnings growth and revenue growth but has a significant relationship on total assets growth of Nigerian quoted consumer goods firms. The study recommended that management should increase equity and long-term debts and reduce short-term debts so as to raise firms’ revenue and also have an understanding of the capital structure disclosure and how it affects revenue growth. Regulatory agencies should ensure assets growth disclosure, revenue, and earnings according to the laid down standards in order to enhance growth. This will boost investment in firms and in turn, raise the bar in performance and growth.

Full textAbstract:
Supply chain practitioners in developing economies, like Nigeria, experience challenges in implementing sustainable supply chain management practices. Poor sustainability implementation engenders the negative effects of supply chain operations on people, the environment, and business continuity. The purpose of this qualitative transcendental phenomenological study was to explore and describe the experiences of supply chain practitioners in the consumer goods manufacturing industry in Nigeria about sustainable supply chain management based on the theoretical foundations of stakeholder and general systems theories. The focus of the research question was to examine the experiences of supply chain practitioners to understand the challenges in implementing sustainable supply chain management practices. Data were collected through semistructured face-to-face interview of 21 practitioners with a minimum 3 years of professional experience using the purposive sampling strategies of key knowledgeables and snowball to achieve saturation. Interviews were transcribed and analyzed guided by the Husserlian transcendental phenomenological approach for essences. The major finding was that the cost of implementing sustainability initiatives and poor government policies and regulations were the most significant barriers. Sustainability in the supply chain is still at its infancy in Nigeria, with room for improvement. The findings could contribute to positive social change as supply chain practitioners may better engage stakeholders and implement sustainability practices that minimize the negative effects of their supply chain operations on society and the environment.

Full textAbstract:
Background and Problem: CSI is a topic with a limited amount of research despite it being a very relevant issue and that its counter pole CSR is one of today’s most popular subjects to study. In both areas there is a gap in the literature regarding the apparel industry where there CSI can be evident in many different aspects, especially in the production process. In the FMCG market, the demand for apparel that has been produced ethically has increased over the years. Still, the importance that the consumers place on ethical attributes in their purchase decisions is rather unknown. Purpose: The study's purpose is to investigate the young consumers’ emotions towards FMCG apparel corporations in order to see if CSI actions give them a negative attitude. It will further be explored to see if the attitude towards the corporations reflects in their intentional purchase behavior and their actual behavior. This will provide insight to the young consumers’ knowledge and interest for CSI, aiding corporations in their quest for excellence when it comes to consumer relationships. Method: This research is done through a deductive, qualitative research. A literature review is done to create a great understanding to the concepts of CSI, consumer attitudes and planned behavior. Four focus groups are conducted as a base for the empirical findings. Further, these two chapters are compared in an analysis to get an understanding about the young consumers’ attitudes towards corporations acting unethically and the affects it may have on their planned behavior. Conclusion: Based on the analysis, the study found clear evidence that the participants have a negative attitude towards corporations’ CSI activities. However, these attitudes did not, as theory suggests, have any effect on the participants’ intended and actual purchasing behavior. Instead it is shown that young consumers base their decisions on contextual factors, where the most significant one is price.

This chapter discusses the role of corporations in human rights violations under Oslo. Oslo provided Israel with legal control over a majority of West Bank land and control over the passage of people and goods across borders, giving Israel greater freedom to build and expand the settlements in Area C, exploit its natural resources, and build the “separation wall” inside the West Bank. These activities have provided lucrative opportunities for corporate exploitation, and in most cases Israel could not conduct them without corporate assistance. The involvement of corporations in providing goods and services relating to Israel's occupation of the West Bank has been categorized by researchers into three areas: the settlement industry, exploitation of captive consumer and labor markets, and population control.

Chapters Five and Six focus on the interwar years, when a worldwide depression, intensifying restrictions against mobile people and products, and rising nationalisms changed the global geography of migrant marketplace connections. After World War I, U.S. economic expansion in South America and U.S. immigration restriction, which redirected Italians to Argentina, intensified North-South links between Italians in New York and Buenos Aires. Migrants in Buenos Aires expressed concern that the growing presence of U.S. capital and consumer goods threatened the Italian export market. After having targeted Italians as consumers in New York, U.S. food corporations like Armour and Company began targeting Italians in Buenos Aires as well. Meanwhile they capitalized on links between consumption and femininity made during the war to depict migrant marketplaces as predominately female.

The world of commerce has undergone a transformation since the early 1990s, which has increasingly included the utilization of information technologies by firms across industry sectors in order to achieve greater productivity and profitability. In other words, through use of such technologies as mainframes, PCs, telecommunications, state-of-the-art software applications and the Internet, corporations seek to utilize productive resources in a way that augment the efficiency with which they provide the most appropriate mix of goods and services to their ultimate consumer. This process has provided the backbone to the evolution of the information economy which has included increased investment in information technology (IT), the demand for IT labor and the initiation of such new paradigms as e-commerce.

Inadequate provision of infrastructural and social facilities by governments for citizens' use calls for intervention of corporate organizations and individuals to contribute/provide for other people via social obligation. By virtue of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), many communities and individuals have been developed to dependable levels. Through it, the general wellbeing of individuals, groups and communities, growth and development are encouraged and promoted while stimulating innovative business. Government multiple taxes, business unfriendly policies, unions' agitations, and scamming by some ill-intentioned citizens are impediments to efficient CSR by multinational companies in Cameroon. Though the rate of participation by business entities in being socially responsible is not encouraging, this chapter singles out a few MNCs that have distinguished themselves by sharing their enormous profits with the communities in which they operate. This chapter uses case studies of three Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCGs), that is, MTN, Guinness Cameroun SA, and British American Tobacco to ascertain that corporate social responsibility by MNCs has helped to ameliorate living conditions of local communities.

This particular writing shall explore the role of CSR i.e., Corporate Social Responsibility in building community resilience by evaluating measures like social sustainability, particularly taking into consideration its response to economic and environmental crises. The objective of CSR is driven from the responsibility for a business to go beyond their financial gains and contribute towards societal and environmental wellbeing. As the Multi-National Corporations and large scale businesses grow bigger, their impact on the community is in proportion to the sales that they make, especially those who work in the FMCG that is Fast Moving Consumer Goods industry become household brand to the masses and can significantly make its position in the industry resilient by taking the economic and environmental metric in consideration while determining profits. CSR initiatives such as education, healthcare, disaster preparedness, and sustainable livelihoods are some of the key strategies that major businesses make use of in order to support community resilience.

Abstract In the twentieth century, soy emerged as the world’s leading agricultural commodity. Combining a global and centennial perspective with an agro-food approach, this chapter explores waves of globalization through the lens of soy. Having served as regional food crop in East Asia for millennia, soy became a global cash crop in the British-centered agro-food regime (1870–1929), linking the northeast of China as the world’s leading producer to consumer goods industries in Northwest Europe. Soy found enlarged rooms of maneuver in the US-centered agro-food regime (1947–1973), connecting the US Midwest and adjacent regions as major suppliers in the divided world market with growing demand for animal-based food from Western Europe and Japan. Soy rose to global dominance in the WTO-centered agro-food regime (since 1995), integrating producers in the South American “soybean republic” as well as European and East Asian consumers into global agribusiness. Soy’s emergence as a commodity in the slipstream of globalization was driven by state governments, (trans-)national corporations, and social movements as well as by the crop’s versatility in socio-natural networks.

This paper explores business strategies and policies put in place by multinational corporations to alleviate poverty in Africa with specific examples from Cameroon. The world's population is rapidly increasing and the rich people are getting richer, whereas the poor people are becoming even more marginalized. During the era of economic liberalization the belief was that the opening up of economies to multinational corporations could lead to economic growth and, subsequently, economic development. The activities of multinational corporations have witnessed a tremendous boom since the advent of the twenty first century, that is characterized with advances in information communication technology, and the flow of capital have been the main proxy for MNC activity. MNCs are mainly motivated by opportunities that increase their profits, and the most important factors for MNCs are market size and access to resources. Nevertheless, as markets are getting saturated and MNCs are looking for new opportunities, innovative business strategies have been developed to provide dividends to their shareholders while making sure the stakeholders and communities in which they operate also benefit. This paper explores some business models that MNCs have used to make their products available, affordable and accepted in poor markets that are mostly found in Africa on the one hand and corporate social responsibility initiatives implemented by MNCs to alleviate poverty in the continent on the other. The paper concludes that though the principal goal of MNCs is profit maximization, corporations are making an effort to see that the poor benefit from the activities of these giant companies. To get to this conclusion the paper relied on both primary sources and the exploitation of the already existing literature in books and journals. Given that the sector of activities of MNCs is vast, the paper laid emphasis on fast moving consumer goods companies (FMCGs) in Cameroon.

Just ask Western Europeans. What if instead of crafting environmental rules in secret, governments were required to share all of the information shaping their decisions with any citizen who demanded it? The answer can be found in the United States. The differences among the “worlds” experienced by citizens of Japan, Europe, and the United States stem in large part from variation in the rules underpinning them. In Japan, a national system of bullet trains (shinkansen) came about not because of an inevitable march of technological progress. It was the result of national and local rules that transformed a disjointed collection of railways into an integrated national system—a system that has not had a single fatal accident since its inauguration in 1964. In Europe, new rules make corporations responsible for collecting and recycling the electronic goods they sell to consumers. Because they must safely dispose of any toxic substances in their products, these companies have a strong incentive to remove heavy metals and other poisons from the manufacturing process. In the United States, the Freedom of Information Act empowers citizens to demand that government agencies send them all pertinent documents describing the rationale behind their decisions—a degree of transparency that is unheard of in Japan or Europe. Of course, these states of the world did not always exist. They were brought into being through deliberate acts of social change in which old rules were tossed and new ones put in place. Yet many people find the thought of social change too daunting. It seems unrealistic, out of reach. Compared to the dizzying pace of change in technology and popular culture, it appears that progress on big social problems like poverty alleviation, human rights, and environmental sustainability moves at glacial speed.

The erosion of trust has put pressure on corporations to improve their performance. Due to widespread corporate scandals and failures around the world, there has been a renewed interest in the effect of corporate governance on firm performance. This study investigated the effect of corporate governance dimensions particularly board size and ownership concentration on performance and market share of selected listed companies in Nigeria. The study utilized secondary data for fifteen companies from the Financial Services, Consumer Goods and Industrial Goods Sectors of the Nigerian Stock Exchange for the period of 2014 to 2019. For data analysis, the study adopted the ordinary least multiple regression analysis. The study found that as board size and ownership concentration increase, ROE decreases. However, the study found that, to a significant extent, market share of listed firms in Nigeria increases as both board size and ownership concentration increase. This study concluded that board size and ownership concentration do not have significant effect on return on equity (ROE) of listed firms in Nigeria. Also, it concluded that board size and ownership concentration has significant effect on market share of listed firms in Nigeria. Although without significant effect, the study specifically found that as board size increases, return on equity (ROE) of listed firms in Nigeria decreases and as ownership concentration increases, ROE of listed companies in Nigeria also decreases.The study recommended that the board of the companies should always be of a size relative to the scale of its operation, allow for diversity and formation of necessary board committees in order to improve performance. Also, board of directors should ensure that ownership concentration is not too high even as board of the companies needs to ensure that they continuously subject themselves to ownership diversity and board size appropriateness in order for the business to be profitable and increase market share. Keywords: Board Size, Board Ownership, Corporate Governance, Performance, Nigeria

Full textAbstract:
This article proposes to examines how internet shopping for sports equipment changed during and after the COVID-19 outbreak in the UK. The goal of the study is to comprehend how the pandemic affected consumer behavior in relation to purchasing of sporting goods. Using Google search data for phrases related to sporting goods, the study looks for patterns and changes in customer interest over time. According to our findings, there were considerable shifts in the sports equipment search trends both during and after the epidemic, with a noticeable rise in searches for terms like "home gym," "fitness equipment," and "fitness app," among others. According to the analysis, pandemic-related lockdowns and gym closures were the main causes of the rise in sports gear and fitness-related searches. The survey sheds light on how customers shop online, emphasizing the significance of the home gym trend as a reaction to the closing of conventional gyms and the demand for at-home fitness options. By offering insights into the changing customer behavior during a pandemic, this study adds novelty to the field of sports equipment sales. In their quest to comprehend shifts in customer behavior and modify their strategies in light of such shifts, marketers, corporations, and legislators may find the findings to have major practical ramifications. The research also gives prospects for future studies, such as the comparison of the results with other regions or the discovery of specific elements that influence consumer behavior in this setting.
