Abstract: India’s real estate sector is considered to be the second largest employer after agriculture. It is expected to grow 30 percent over the next decade. With these growths on one side, the competitions between the players are also intense on the other. Some of the major players are Ambuja Neotia, DLF, Unitech, Shapoorji Palonji, Jaypee Infatech, Alcove, Godrej Properties etc. As more and more players are coming in, the opportunities are increasing for the developers as there is a huge untapped market for affordable housing in the range of 5-20 lakh. For end user, the bargaining power has increased and they command greater flexibility from the developer. It is for this reason, a research has been conducted to know from the customers who have purchased flats that what parameter they considered most important while taking the decision to buy that flat. A statistical analysis by using the software Statistical Package For the Social Sciences (SPSS) has been done for the same to know whether age influences buying parameter or not.This research focuses on the importance of statistics in market survey.

Abstract: Though theoretical literature strongly supports the positive linkage between trade openness and economic growth, empirical findings however, are inconclusive with some supporting the positive mantra while others observed insignificant and in some cases negative relationship between the two variables. Our paper therefore as a contribution to this body of knowledge, was to investigate how international trade can create an inclusive economic growth that will impact the population of Nigeria. To do that we formulated econometric models with GDP per capita growth rate as proxy for economic growth as the dependent variable, while the Independent variable is international trade proxied as export, import, export plus import, exchange rate premium, net capital flow (FDI), trade openness, tariff, time to clear goods, ease of doing business indicator. We utilized panel data for our variables within two time periods of 1980-2005, and 2006-2016, and tested their long run empirical relationships using Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration and granger causality test. Our results showed no significant and positive linkage between international trade and economic growth for Nigeria during the study period of 1980 – 2016. The negative relationship is due to unchecked population growth rate in the country without the government transforming its teeming labour force into human capital for economic activities. This has caused the country not to take advantage of knowledge, technological and skill transfer through trade openness, as was the case with South East Asian economies, and therefore relied solely on primary product exports which are subject to price and market shocks and volatilities, rather than manufacturing industrialization. Besides this, the country also exhibited a high taste for foreign imported consumer goods, including petroleum products, with high subsidy costs. The economy is solely dependent on public sector patronage as it lacked active and inclusive participation of the private sectors in the mainstream economy. The reliance on the public sector also fueled gross institutional corruption and governance abuses. The solution therefore is for Nigeria to focus in transforming its teeming population into human capital necessary to adopt innovative technologies that will transform its primary product export into manufacturing industrialization.

Abstract: Over a decade after the formation of Community Development Trust Fund (CDTF), strategic changes were effected resulting in the formation of New CDTF. This caused a lot of fear and anxiety amongst the staff. This study examined the relationship between strategic change and job satisfaction, within a sample of 37 employees of CDTF as explained by Herzberg, Mausner, and Snyderman’s(1959) job motivator and hygiene factors, and Five Star Model(Galbraith, 1973) organisational design policies. Survey design was used to collect data from the entire CDTF staff, who were approached and a questionnaire administered which was the main research data collection tool. Data analysis was based on quantitative analysis of the questionnaires that provided partial support for the study hypotheses. Statistical tests were also carried out that led to similar conclusions. The study revealed that CDTF employees are generally satisfied with strategic change process and with their jobs under New CDTF. Results also indicate employee satisfaction with the strategy change (employee participation, 3.82 mean score; style of management (3.81); working conditions outcome (3.79); and job design outcome (3.56). The change also enhanced job satisfaction as shown by statistical results: employee participation (X²=036.275, P<0.05); management style correlation results(r=.475, P<0.05); working conditions (X²=15.03, P<0.05); and job design correlation results (r=.576, P<0.05). Also, regression results (R²=0.62, at P<0.05) show that strategic change affects job satisfaction. The relationship with demographic factors and job satisfaction was negligible (r=-.0252, P<0.05). The study was conducted less than a month before commencement of New CDTF implementation; this may have affected the employee perception of the impact of the strategic changes. The study concluded that organisational change is an important determinant of employee job satisfaction with higher influence from strategic change process as compared to the outcomes of strategic change. The study recommended CDTF to build on the recent restructuring and enhance employee job satisfaction through improved policies, supervision, relationships, job description, benefits and general working conditions. Finally, the study further recommended future research on other job satisfaction variables in development organisations.
