Education serves as the bedrock for future socio-economic development of any society. Student’s learning behaviour and effectiveness is affected by functionality of educational buildings. During the lifecycle of buildings its performance is affected by defects, hence, it is paramount to have effective maintenance policies and practices. Thus, in order to retain sustainable educational building, defects diagnosis and management is paramount. The study seeks to identity defects and its associated health issues in Lagos State Polytechnic campuses. The objectives were achieved using questionnaire survey, responses of 200 participants were coded and analysed with SPSS 17. The study reveals that plumbing installations, indoor environment and aesthetic related issues are critical problems that need attention in the institution. Based on the responses, heat, discomfort and body pain were significant health problems experienced by users of facilities. This is an indication of areas the management of the institution has to address in order to achieve its vision.

The dividend policy analysis based upon the service industry in china. The data is based on the most recent years from 2014 to 2016. It includes forty-two organizations of communication, information, and transportation sector. dividend pay-out determines the total revenue by the organization(positively). It is presumed that the total sale plays a positive part in deciding dividend pay-out ratio of the organization as it increases earning per share, and strength of equity. The debt equity ratio is significant but due to the dividend pay-out of the organization will decrease.

This article is aimed to study the legal framework of directors’ duties in Ohada law. The Organization for the Harmonization of Business Laws (OHADA),is a supranational system of business laws that, as implemented in Senegal is trying to regulate all the core businesses.Ohada displays two level of mixing.Firstly,Ohada Law is supranational, it becomes part of the internal law of each state member but still remains supranational characteristics.Secondly,Ohada being at least partially French-inspired, we can understand that the most of the countries which adopted Ohada Laws are French-speaking. The duties of Directors in Senegal are regulated mainly by the uniform companies’ act which is part of the Ohada law. It should be noted that before the adoption of Ohada, company law was governed by the code of civil obligations and in its fourth part. For companies listed on the RSE, they must comply both with the general regulations of the BRVM and with the provisions of the Uniform Companies Act concerning publicly traded companies. This article aims to illuminate the lanterns on the question of the duties of directors in Ohada law, during my research I have observed that subjects such as corporate governance in general and the duties of directors in Ohada are left stranded by most researchers. This is why this topic has an interest in reabsorbing this gap insofar as the legal framework of the duties of directors often mentions many questions because of the lack of loyalty and diligence of certain directors.

This study aims to carry out performance management system by flexible strategy game-card method for mobile communication company of IRAN.
In this regard these question have been arisen:
Literature was reviewed in order to implement FSGC for designing PMS(performance management system). According to similarity in the context with case illustration of another study this study adopts perspectives and related strategic factors in hierarchical structures of these factors from that study. It should be mention gathering information about these strategic factors is based on secondary data of MCI. But in order to preserve the confidentiality of information, in some factors there is a slight deviation from the real value. The study adopts FSGC for designing of PMS for MCI. By using this concept, actual results have been compared with targets and led to extract strategic directions. Then strategic interventions that are aligned with the strategic directions were identified for MCI. Although the implication of FSGC approach for designing of PMS is available in the literature (even in similar industry/region/time limit), but there is not any attempt to utilizing it in MCI strategic department.

Aim of this paper is to present the challenges and developments of the Albanian insurance market during the process of its liberalization. Consequently the insurance market has shown instability with regard to the fluctuations of the premium levels. A fair pricing based on the market conditions is one of the biggest challenges of the albanian insurance market. By means of an econometric model, the correlation between the liberalization process and profitability of insurance companies has been shown. This paper discusses also the efficiency of the Bonus-Malus System, which is expected to be implemented in Albania in 2018 in order to stabilize the insurance market. In this regard the elasticity according to Loimaranta (1972) is calculated for Albania. As the Bonus-Malus System is already implemented in other region countries, the paper suggests that in addition to the advantages this system can bring, there is also the risk of the phenomenon known in the literature as “ Hunger for Bonus”, according to which, people tend to not report the claims. Under such conditions the result would be a lower claim frequency deriving from the non-reporting of claims and not from the implementation of the Bonus-Malus System. The implementation of the Bonus-Malus system must be accompanied by an increase of anti-fraud measures.
