Published: December 2022

The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on perceived nonfinancial performance of star‐rated hotels in Uganda. The study was guided by resource‐based view and upper echelons theories. A positivism research philosophy and an explanatory research design with a cross‐sectional approach were adopted, while a multi‐stage sampling technique; stratified, simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used to collect quantitative data using survey questionnaires administered to a sample size of 53 star‐rated hotels involving 265 managers out of a population of 62 starrated hotels. Hypotheses were tested using multiple regression model. Results showed that innovativeness, pro‐activeness, risk‐taking, and autonomy had significant and positive effect on perceived non‐financial performance of start‐rated hotels in Uganda, while competitive‐aggressiveness had insignificant and positive effect on perceived non‐financial performance of start‐rated hotels in Uganda. This study therefore provides hotel managers insight to help them evaluate the dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation in terms of perceptions of their known benefits to make informed decisions to achieve superior performance.

Published: December 2022

The relationship between exchange rate volatility and economic growth has received relatively little attention from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. This is because, the exchange rate is considered as nominal variable and not related to the long‐term real growth performance. Kenya has faced massive blows like the terms of trade becoming worse mainly due to fluctuation in internal product prices, oil prices and fluctuation in a flow of capital which have led to challenges in microeconomic management policy. Empirical evidence offers mixed findings regarding the impact of exchange rate volatility on growth. It argued that pegged regimes increases investment and volatility of growth and employment but reduces productivity growth and inflation. Depreciation of Kenya’s currency implies that the incomes of their trading partners increase and will tend to import few goods, and this places Kenya’s exports at disadvantaged position in international markets. Further, exchange rate volatility in developing countries is characterized by changes in, changes in global demand for goods policies and changes prices of goods. This article investigated the exchange rate fluctuation in Kenya. investigation found that Kenya’s exchange rate has been volatile with major structural breaks in 1994 and 2012. Devaluation of Kenya’s currency implies that the incomes of their trading partners increase and will tend to import few goods, and this places Kenya’s exports at disadvantaged position in international markets. Further, exchange rate volatility in developing countries is characterized by changes in, changes in global demand for goods policies and changes prices of goods.

Economic growth has remained an elusive issue in all economies in the world for a long period of time with empirical studies about factors determining economic growth giving mixed results in different countries. Common Market of Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) was founded to foster and promoting joint development in all fields of economic activity and the joint adoption of macro‐economic policies and programmes to raise the standard of living of its peoples among its members states. Among others, emphasis was put on mobilizing domestic financial resources, mobilizing international resources, and promoting international trade as the engine of economic growth. However, it is not clear if these policies are a panacea to economic growth issue in COMESA countries and economic growth in these countries has remained a challenging issue in all economies. This study analyzed determinants of economic growth such as investor protection, credit to private sector, foreign exchange rate, and corruption. The study concluded by expounding that an increase in credit to private sector spurs economic growth. This is because investors are willing to invest in more risky venture while encouraging safe borrowers to be more effective. A depreciation of the currency can make a countryʹs exports cheaper and imports more expensive. The financial sector, especially in the formal sectors of the economy, is critical in channeling savings into productive investment. The banking sector is widely regarded as an important economic conduit for financial intermediation. Credit to private sector increases a countryʹs productive capacity. The result of this research adds new knowledge by analyzing the determinants of economic growth among COMESA countries. Results enables macroeconomists, policy makers and central monetary authorities of all the nations to deeply understand the role of investor protection, credit to private sector, foreign exchange rate, and corruption to spur economic growth.

THE FUNCTION OF POETRY IN THE MODERN WORLD: A CASE STUDY OF WALT WHITMAN AND AUDRE LORDE’S POEMS
Authors: Scheyer Lauri , Abdul Zanyar Kareem 
Published: December 2022

Lyric poetry has historically referred to a genre that we think of as brief, musical, and personal as well as subjective. This article addresses the role of lyric poetry in the modern world, and how critical analysis enables us to better appreciate the potential impact of poetry today. Specifically, we will offer brief contrastive assessments of two landmark exemplars of American poets, Walt Whitman and Audre Lorde. These two figures demonstrate some of the varied ways of the American poetry tradition. We compare Walt Whitman, a canonical white male poet from the 19th century, with an equally important 20th century African American woman poet, Audre Lorde. These American poets differ in historical periods, sex, race, and other factors, yet both uphold the conventional functions of lyric poetry and prove its continuing relevance to a global readership. The results show that as the reflection of human life, poetry could represent honesty, realism, democracy and even power.

Jeopardy game is a common game for players to compete for the highest score. Nevertheless, this game can be modified to provide the students with a fun, engaging, and challenging interactive game for learning activities. The use of the Jeopardy game in improving teaching-learning activities was abundant, whereas the use of Jeopardy in vocational high school was little to be found. This study tried to figure out the implementation of Jeopardy games in enhancing reading skills for vocational high school students. Classroom action research was conducted to observe students' improvement in reading after implementing Jeopardy games in reading activities. Closed-ended questionnaires on how the jeopardy games influence the teaching process and activities were conducted to get the quantitative data. Observation, reflection, open-ended questionnaire, and FGD were gathered to strengthen the result of quantitative data. The results showed that students demonstrated better reading comprehension from the diagnostic test, cycle I, and cycle II results; mean score 5.76, 6.48, and 7.28. Students also reported that they got motivated and were likely to read more. To conclude, students stated that they experienced some improvement in cooperative learning and reading strategies. The implication of the study is discussed at the end of this article.
