Because lockdowns affected international trade, supply lines, corporate norms, and entire industries, the COVID-19 pandemic caused an economic disaster. To reduce social, economic, and environmental risks, IPG Asset Solutions should adapt to market changes. Industry growth requires planning. The real estate company will address stakeholder needs and pandemic impacts on real estate markets after COVID-19. The method involves recognizing the change, analyzing its impact, helping people embrace change, defining a vision, and preparing for change. Change leaders, training tools, and employee participation are needed to prepare for resistance. Kurt Lewin’s Change Model helped the real estate business develop and assess change management strategies and tools. IPG Asset Solutions Sdn Bhd provides top-notch marketing solutions using quality control. IPG Asset Solutions’ quality control comprises customer satisfaction, business image, customer perceptions, client management, corporate culture, and motivation. Pareto analysis and process control charts manage quality. Customers, employees, processes, and financial performance assess the SME’s quality control. The assessment’s flaws suggest a quality control program based on quality design and continual quality improvement. Quality control is offline and statistical. Service design begins with offline control techniques to optimize settings, reduce negative consequences, save money, and improve quality. Online control charts must determine statistical control. Statistical process control guides service delivery. Execution and implementation identify successful CSFs. Management should also assess the new system’s need, cost-benefit, resources, and skills. The quality assurance team will check all procedures and suggest changes to enhance quality.","PeriodicalId":310548,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Management Science","volume":"2004 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125803777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specific objectives were to: investigate the relationship between the number of frauds and bank performance in Nigeria, assess the relationship between the amounts lost to frauds and bank performance in Nigeria and to examine the relationship between the numbers of staff involved in fraud loses and bank performance in Nigeria. The study utilizes secondary sources of data extracted from the Nigerian Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC) Annual Report and CBN Statistical Bulletin from 1994 to 2020. Statistical methods such as descriptive analysis, Pearson correlation and OLS regression techniques were employed in the evaluation of the data. The result of the hypotheses revealed number of fraud cases as well as the total amount lost to fraud had a positive and significant impact on bank performance while the total number of staff involved in fraud was found to be negative and significant on deposit money banks performance in Nigeria. The study recommended that CBN and NDIC should encourage DMBs to always report cases of fraud, this can be done through creation of a fraud “hotline” where the public can call to complain or report fraud cases with appropriate rewards that will incite more compliance. Management of banks should train and retrain staff of Nigerian banks in fraud prevention and control. Such training should include a comprehensive review of legal and regulatory guidelines that will limit fraud activities.","PeriodicalId":310548,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Management Science","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130214394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The Danger of Job Insecurity in the Platform Economy","authors":"Jinlan Zhang, Yuxiang Weng","doi":"10.56397/fms.2023.04.10","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.56397/fms.2023.04.10","url":null,"abstract":"The rapid expansion of the platform economy has generated concerns about its economic and social consequences (Lei, 2021; Vallas, 2019). As independent contractors provided with little or no employee rights and managed by algorithms, the job insecurity of platform workers is significant. This damages employment relations, complicates the function of HR departments, and as a result is driving governments and relevant organisations to regulate the platform economy more heavily. This can provide platform workers with more benefits but can also result in gender discrimination and hinder the achievement of gender equality by increasing the gender pay gap. This report discusses three possible solutions to job insecurity among platform workers. Firstly, governments could provide them with similar rights to employees by creating a new category besides employees and independent contractors within existing law, although this would worsen labour market segmentation and social inequality. Secondly, alternative unions which are more flexible could effectively help platform workers to fight for their legal rights, but limited resources would reduce their ability to deal with the problems of every worker. Finally, platform workers could devote themselves to improve their bargaining power to strive for higher income to reduce insecurity, however, it would be hindered by many factors like oversupply of labour force. After analysing and comparing these three solutions, it is recommended that the job security of platform workers could be increased by incorporating them in a special labour law protecting non-standard workers. However, the effectiveness of this could vary from depending on country.","PeriodicalId":310548,"journal":{"name":"Frontiers in Management Science","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121024379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
