Item The Changing Face of Corporate Governance in the World: – A Critical Literature Review of INSEAD Panel of Board of Directors' A Midst Uncertain Time(2020) Mtike, Rubbie Mzumara; Prof. Nyakora, MusaThis critique is on the discussion by INSEAD Panel at the Global Business Leaders Conference which took place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on the future of governance. Following the video discussion, literature review on governance was done to strengthen the stand taken in this critique. Governance should be a driving factor to success. However, companies have been casualties affecting millions of employees who lose their jobs. Governance rules in isolation have proved unsuccessful. Pomposity, greed and abuse of positions have led to failing companies, organizations even governments. Board members who become irrelevant due to the changing world have contributed to the dysfunction of governance leading to the fall of many companies. Therefore, I recommend training the Board should include ethics as this is an umbrella for good decisions regardless of context. Board members need also be independent to be able to make decisions without undue influence. The board should begin to use the stakeholder view which benefits society. Communication has to flow both ways for informed decisions to be made. The critique concludes that there is hope for governance once ethics begin to reign and ensure justice for every stakeholder. Support for the company will be ensured in return by the society who are the customers of the company as it does not exist in a vacuum. Governance is everywhere. Each individual around the globe should strive to make a difference in improving the future of governance.Item Kenya’s Leadership Response to Covid-19 Pandemic and Possible Interventions between March and June 2020(2020-10) Gai, Knollyne Oindih; Prof. Nyakora, MusaKenya is one of those countries in the world suffering from the deadly Corona virus and its economy is greatly affected. There is therefore a need for the Kenyan government to put measures in place to break the chain of spreading the virus by enforcing nationwide curfew, boarder lockdown of the most affected counties and stay and work from home measures. The Ministry of health alongside its stakeholders had to quickly set up various mechanisms to counter the disease. The government took drastic steps to curb the spread of the pandemic by closing down learning institutions, entertainment joints, eateries and public gathering including funerals. Church services and weddings were temporarily banned too. This was to break the chain and reduce the spread of the virus and if possible completely eliminate the Covid-19 in the country. Due to the urgency of the matter, leaders needed to embrace new ways of doing things and have a vision clearly spelt and well understood approach. On the other hand, leaders in charge of communication needed to verify their facts and not be too quick to call for press conferences to ensure that channels of communications were open to all in order to avoid speculations that results in lack of trust if things are not done in a transparent way.Item A Literature Review Perspective on Christian music in the context of African cultural complexities(2021-01) Chepkwony, Paul; Prof. Nyakora, MusaChristian music in African has overtime gained popularity with the rise of various religious groups using music to appeal to the conscience of their audience because of the love of music as part of the African cultural practices. This article seeks to review various literature to understand how to integrate the biblical understanding of Christian music with the complexities of African cultural singing objective. It has been proofed that Africans by nature are socially enriched through entertainment especially through music (Kwabena, 2000) and thus is believed to be one way of reaching many cultures in Africa especially with the gospel. Couple with the influx of modern music trends, religious singing in general is facing a number of issues including temptation to compromise biblical principles in an attempt to appeal to the African cultural mindset. This has led to differing contextualized Christian music approaches that seem to differ from one culture to another dictated by the African traditional singing perspective on one hand and interests of the many religious singing groups and solo artists on the other hand which have sprung up moving masses after them when performing their artistry. They all have divergent approaches to gospel music and trying to outdo one another and competitively changing tact and dynamically in disregard of the principles of Christian singing as embedded in the Bible. This literature review therefore attempts to incorporate cross-cultural theories, Christian music literature and Biblical counsel in the understanding of African music complexities with a view of aligning them with biblically based music guiding principles and approaches with relevant recommendations highlighted
