This paper investigates and sheds light on the corporate strategic choices adopted by Lebanese companies to steer through this unprecedented crisis. The study explores various strategies adopted by the organizations, ranging from structural modifications to the diversification of products and services and even operations shut-down. Additionally, it analyzes the move towards digitalization and remote work and the implementation of new directions to ensure business continuity. Those are assessed based on qualitative research using in-depth interviews with a conveniently selected sample of 22 Lebanese organizations spanning several economic sectors. Results are commensurate to the challenges faced by companies in Lebanon, such as limited resources, political instability, and economic downturn. The findings suggest that companies in Lebanon have to adapt their strategies in response to the COVID-19 crisis, with a focus on resilience, agility, and innovation to ensure their survival and future growth in these challenging times. Findings follow a 10-theme style covering the research questions. The outcomes and lessons learned from this study serve as an eye-opener to Lebanese managers, leaders, researchers, and policymakers in the area of proactivity to confront future crises.","PeriodicalId":421703,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Multidisciplinary and Advanced Studies","volume":"54 5-6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120903969","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}

Two hundred (Anak-2000) white strain day old broiler chicks were weight and assigned to five groups of forty chicks each. Each group was further divided into four groups of ten birds per replicate in completely randomized design. Five diets were formulated using differently processed Red kidney bean seed meal (Phaseoulus vulgaris) at 0% in the control (T1) and 25% levels of inclusion for Raw (RRKBSM), Toasted (TRKBSM), boiled (BRKBSM) and Dehaulled (DRKBSM) respectively. Feed and water were given ad-libtum daily throughout the feeding trial. The growth performance showed significant (P<0.05) difference for all the parameters. However, there were significance (P<0.05) for live weight, dressed weight, plucked weight, breast weight, back, thigh, drumstick, shank, kidney and lungs. Similarly cost/kg feed was higher in T4 (N 449.91) and lowest in T2 (N 424.20). Feed cost/kg weight gain was higher in T5 (N 440.93/kg) gain and lowest feed cost/kg gain was on T4 (N 308.14/kg) gain. From the foregoing, it implies that RKBSM is a potential feed resource and could be included in diets of broiler chickens when differently processed up to 25% inclusion level as protein source in broiler chicken diet for growth and performance.","PeriodicalId":421703,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Multidisciplinary and Advanced Studies","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124023448","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 study concludes that through social media, the library can encourage library users to avail of its varied information sources. Marketing strategies significantly influence the library users’ utilization. This confirms the theory of confirmation expectancy which suggests that perceptions are influenced by pre-use expectations (marketing strategies) and consequently directly impact confirmation (utilization of the library virtual services).

In the act of social administration, there are bound to be conflict of interests which metamorphose into crises thereby faulting the political process. This study examines the lost of political crises to the Nigerian society from independence till date. In justifying this, the study reviews the system of governance practiced, the electoral process, the political participation and other factors that constitute the Nigeria’s political culture. Structural functionalist theory, as well as the conflict theory was employed in evaluating the study. To ensure meaningful coverage of the study area, six (6) Colleges of Education (C.O.E.) was selected across the six (6) geo-political zones of Nigeria. Thirty (35) respondents were randomly selected among the staff of each of the colleges comprising of both teaching and non-teaching staff amounting to two hundred and ten (210) respondents. Eventually, one hundred and eighty (180) questionnaires were collected and used for the research. Five hypotheses were tested using the ordinal regression and non-parametric correlation (spearman’s rho) to determine the level of relationship between each pairs of the independent and dependent variables using IBM SPSS statistics 20 version software. The result revealed that bad governance was majorly responsible for political crisis which procreate institutional failure, frequency change in policies, political violence, political assassinations, economic downturn, insecurity, unemployment and low self-esteem for most citizens. In conclusion, until the Nigerian constitution re-defined politics as a social service and not social work with drastic reduction of financial attributions to political offices, the scrambling and stiff contest for political positions will continue to generate crises too disastrous for the Nigerian society. Finally, the most expensive loss of political crisis to the Nigerian society is the retardation, stagnation and retrogressiveness of social growth and development.","PeriodicalId":421703,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Multidisciplinary and Advanced Studies","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125990858","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}

This study aimed to identify the strengths and areas for improvement in a graduate school curriculum. To conduct this qualitative case study, the researchers utilized purposeful sampling, selecting graduate students in the thesis writing stage and recent graduates from various courses offered in the graduate school. A total of 10 participants willingly participated in the focus group discussion, while four took part in the exit interview. The researchers employed focus group discussions and exit interviews as data collection tools, focusing on the participants’ experiences with the graduate school curriculum. The findings revealed three main themes: Advancing professional capability, empowering experiences, and overcoming research hurdles. These themes indicated that the Graduate School Curriculum had contributed to the development of the participants' research skills in their respective disciplines, ultimately empowering them to develop leadership skills in the workplace. This was largely facilitated by the professors' effective facilitation of the learning processes. While this study provides valuable insights into the strengths of the graduate school curriculum, the study points to the need to intensify its scaffolds on the area of research and of reflecting further on the sequence of curricular offerings tailored to fit the context of graduate students in an online environment. A further empirical investigation using quantitative methods is endorsed to obtain more robust information on the curriculum's best features and to enhance its overall effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":421703,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Multidisciplinary and Advanced Studies","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130153941","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}
