Though many survival strategies are gaining currency in literature but appropriate match of these strategies is very imperative. This study is aimed at examining the effects of organisational strategies on the performance of companies in the Nigerian telecommunication industry.

The study population is composed of 19,459 top and middle level management staff of telecommunication industry and the study adopted a survey research design. Combinations of judgemental and stratified random sampling techniques were used to select four major service providers in the industry and 377 respondents who are member s staff of the organisations as sample size. Out of the 377 copies of questionnaire distributed, 356 were retrieved and analysed. Cronbach s alpha was used to test the internal consistency of the research instrument. Three hypotheses were tested using inferential statistics, analysis of variance and regression analysis to establish the relationship among the variables. The study showed a positive influence of the increase in the number of combined strategies on organisational performance. The study reaffirmed the efficacy of Mile and Snow s competitive strategy in the Nigeria Telecommunication Industry.

LECTURERS SKILLS AND ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION FOR BUSINESS START-UP AMONG NIGERIAN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS .

In the recent times federal and state governments in Nigeria have provided policies and resources to provide entrepreneurship training for students in all tertiary institutions but these have not yielded desired result as a result of lack of required training for teachers that trained theses students as they could not effectively practice what they were thought. Thus with a view to change youth orientation from job seekers to job makers. This paper objectives are to examine the need for entrepreneurial skills in teachers and find out how the training and trainers programme facilitate improvement in the training programme and bridge the gap between entrepreneurial skills/ training and graduate entrepreneurial intention. Two hypotheses were formulated to test the significant relationship between teacher s entrepreneurship training delivery and the students understanding of the training; entrepreneurial skill/ training and student entrepreneurial practice/ business creation. A survey of 200 Level and 300 Level students of Lagos State University offering entrepreneurship courses were selected in 2020/2021 academic session with total population of 15,095 was undertaken by means of self-administered questionnaires to sample size of 368 students across 7 faculties of the University at the main campus Ojo . The study generated a 92% response rate. Responses from the survey were statistically analyzed using descriptive and Pearson product moment correlation. Findings revealed that most of the students are not entrepreneurship inclined and could not implement or practice what they learn or thought in the university, that is the reason why they are busy looking for white collar job as well as government work that are not available. This has increased the level of unemployment, aggravate abject poverty and hinders sustainable human development in the country. Therefore, the study recommends that there should be compulsory entrepreneurship education at home; primary, secondary, tertiary institutions and all forms of formal and informal educational sector in the country.
