CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Human resources outsourcing evolved from hiring payroll processing companies in the 1990s to delegating tasks previously performed by human resources assistants and specialists, such as recruiting, coordinating benefits and handling unemployment claims. Some small businesses outsource entire human resources departmental functions; however, many companies outsource singular processes. Small businesses to large corporations decide for one reason or another that outsourcing human resources functions is a way to improve efficiency and minimize staffing costs. Large organizations that employ thousands of people may find it’s simpler to outsource a process, such as payroll, rather than employ two to three payroll clerks and purchase sophisticated technology than engage the services of an organization that focuses entirely on processing payroll (Elmuti, 2003). Small companies might decide that outsourcing human resources processes is more cost-effective and efficient than creating a human resources department while the business is focused on other projects associated with starting a new business (Elmuti, 2003).

Organizational performance is an important consideration when small business owners weigh the pros and cons of Human resource outsourcing. One school of thought is that a organizations can focus its energy and expenditures on developing the product it sells. This enables organization to allocate its resources to areas that include engineering and research and development, instead of recruiting staff, maintaining personnel files and other human resources tasks. The other school of thought has more to do with human capital and talent believes that an organization may find herself without the talent she needs to build an efficient human resources department. In this case, Human resource outsourcing resolves the dilemma organizations face during the search for an in-house human resources expert. In the first scenario, an organization directing its focus on product design and sales may determine the expense of Human resource outsourcing can be easily justified by more attention given to product sales. An organization that doesn’t have the requisite talent to lead a human resources department can justify the expense of Human resource outsourcing by the confidence in the level of competency Human resource outsourcing companies offer.

A well-designed human resource outsourcing strategy can allow organizations to focus on their core competencies in order to increase efficiency without having to invest in people and technology (King, 2007; Lau & Zhang, 2006). Additionally, this production strategy permits organizations to become increasingly profitable, and better able to service both local and international customers (Maidment, 2003). An example of this is Nike Inc. which outsources nearly 100 per cent of its shoe production, locally manufacturing only key components of the “Nike Air” product. As a consequence of this outsourcing, Nike Inc. can focus solely on its core competencies, such as production design, marketing, distribution and sales (Entrekin & Court, 2001).

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
In recent years, organizations have outsourced an expanding variety of activities including human resource functions in an attempt to improve service and product quality, reduce production cycle times, lower costs, increase their focus on core competencies, and, in general, enhance organizational performance. organizations appear to be focusing on a relatively narrow set of functions and are contracting with outside suppliers to perform the others.
Despite the trend toward Human resource outsourcing, evidence of its performance effects is scarce. Appealing arguments have made the case both for and against outsourcing as a means of achieving long-run competitive advantage. On the one hand, by outsourcing human resource management tasks to specialist organizations, organizations may better focus on their most value-creating activities, thereby maximizing the potential effectiveness of those activities. In addition, as outsourcing increases, costs may decline, and investment in facilities, equipment, and manpower can be reduced). On the other hand, anecdotal evidence suggests that increased reliance on outsourcing may lead to reduced innovation (Kotabe, 1992), eventual competition from outsourcing partners (Bettis et al., 1992), and reductions in control of the task in question. Thus, the performance effects of outsourcing are uncertain. However, the researcher is examining the impact of outsourcing human resource functions on organizational performance at Stanbic IBTC Bank Plc.

This study was guided by the following objectives; To evaluate the role of value added tax as a source of income in Nigeria.To examine the level of proper utilization of VAT income generated by Nigeria government. To examine the effect of income generated from value added tax on economic development in Nigeria. The study employed the descriptive and explanatory design; questionnaires in addition to library research were applied in order to collect data. Primary and secondary data sources were used and data was analyzed using the chi square statistical tool at 5% level of significance which was presented in frequency tables and percentage. The respondents under the study were 200 staff of federal inland revenue service, Lagos. The study findings revealed that the impact of VAT on government income is high; Based on the findings from the study, efforts should be made by the Nigerian government and stakeholders in creating an enabling environment for micro finance banks to thrive.ABSTRACT This research project titled co-operative thrift and loan society (A case study of African thinkers and credit societies). This study consist of five chapters and the study aimed at indentifying the causes of establishing co-operate we thrift and loan societies in African thinkers C of Bod Enugu state. To solve the research problems, both primary and secondary data were collected, the research instruments used in collecting the data were questionnaire and oral interview, the respondent comprised of members of co-operative society especially in African thinkers in Enugu, Enugu State. In organizing and presenting data collected, frequency, distribution tables, charts percentages and degrees were used, data analysis and interpretation of data assisted to taking decisions on the findings/recommendation.   CHAPTER ONE 1.0 INTRODUCTION This chapter deals with the background of the study, Statement of the problems, purpose of the study, Significance of the study, research questions, scope and definition of the study. 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The essence of a credit society is to create a pull of fund. It has from it’s beginning, been charge with designing and building members owned and controlled cooperative finance system the greatest gandicap to goal attainment is fund. This society encourages the extension of micro and other credit facilities to rural and urban to galvanize their economic activities, which will create employment and raise the statement of human existence. Consequently, co-operators have given much thought and effort to set up their own financial institutions so as to marshal the financial resources necessary to provide many services that credit problems of farmers cooperative that arose major public concern and caused the first bides pread cooperative finance association to be formed in the farming sector, although consumers co-operative has also encountered the need for more credits. Those days, the citizens helped themselves by communal efforts as well as embarking on personal or collective savings, for example in Igbo Land for instance “Isusu” clubs provided a forum for collection of saving from their members, the members agreed on how the money will be given out as loans to their members, though the weakness of “Isusu” was that members would always get the money as at when needed therefore as a result of the problems of lack of credit they arose the need for cooperative thrift and loan society to reduce the problems and short comings of the “Isusu” clubs. Co-operative thrift and loan society is a cooperative society that provides it’s members with convenient and secured means of interest. This is most suitable for workers in one organization. These workers pay for their savings and loans from the source of their income. They do not as a rule, have a regular weekly or daily income, but receive a comparatively large sum of money at the end of the month which enable the deduction of their payment from the extravagant spending which so often occurs when there is money in the packet. 1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Workers are always I need of money to meet up with emergency investment or provision for their retirement, what they need is loan that will be granted to them for production or emergency purpose. But in spite of all the effort of credit co-operative, the is still experiencing low or decreasing productivity as it relates to the satisfaction of the members need especially in the rural and sub-urban areas these are relatively low level of productivity as some of the members are no more interested I their society. What are the causes of this low productivity in their services is it as a result of poor co-operation among the co-operative? 1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The general objective of the study is to determine the problem of the co-operative thrift and loan society in African tinkers, Enugu State and always to access the operation of cooperative thrift and loan society and in relation to the members, to determine the sources of capital and how members obtain loan and their pay-back system. To access how often the director of co-operative inspects co-operative societies in African thinkers. Enugu state and its impact on the effective management of the co-operative thrift and loan societies. 1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY If the purpose of this study are achieved, it is point to be of a great importance to the management of the co-operative societies, the economy of our society to the institution of the researcher in the following ways. To the management of the co-operative thrift and loan society. It is necessary to investigate their budget planning and execution and evaluate their effectiveness especially today that camping is going on for everybody to become a member of co-operative society. This study will determine why co-operative thrift and loan societies do not thrive as other co-operative societies. Moreover, the committee members will know that co-operative thrift and loan society must achieve their objective in order to justify the existence. To the members of co-operative thrift and loan society through this study they will know that they have an important role to play in order to insure the viability of the co-operative thrift and loan society. According to self-help value of co-operative there must be co-operation between them and the management. Therefore, everybody should put in his or her best to achieve the goal of the society more so every member has the right to vote and be voted for. The solution to the problem of co-operative thrift and loan their issues. Also, they can loan a lesion from the efficient management of their co-operative thrift and loan society if enhanced. The society as a whole will benift a lot from the viability of a co-operative thrift and loan societies as the will go a long way in reducing unemployment problems in the country. Moreover, the production of co-operative thrift and loan society if enhanced, will increase the national income of our economy. To the researcher, this has exposed her to various publications in her field of study as well as knowing in details in practice of cooperative. 1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY The researcher of this study intended to study the problems of co-operative thrift and loan societies in African thinker Enugu but will limit the study to co-operative thrift and loan society of the African thinkers thrift and credit Association Enugu State. 1.6 RESEARCHER QUESTIONS 1. Does co-operative thrift and loan society satisfy its members need? 2. Is there poor inspection in co-operative? 3. Does co-operation exist within co-operative thrift and loan societies? 4. Does the management committee of co-operatives thrift and loan societies apply the principles and law of co-operative in their management? 5. Is constant withdrawal of members a problem to co-operative thrift and loan societies? 6. Do debtor-members of co-operative thrift and loan society pay their debts as at when due? 1.7 Definition of terms A co-operative society is an association of person who voluntarily joried to achieve a common goal through the formation of a democratically controlled organization making equitable contribution of the capital required and accepting a fair share of the risk and benefit of the undertaking in which the members actively participate. While co-operative thrift and loan society is an organization that is established in a workplace for the employees with the main aim of enabling the employees to save percentage of their salaries.CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY E-Commerce is the process of conducting business electronically among various entities in order to satisfy an organizational or individual objective. A key ingredient of E-Commerce, sometimes referred to as electronic trading, is the advertisement and procurement of goods and services over the Internet (Rhodes & Carter, 1998). The success and volume of E-Commerce on the web has been widely reported. With success in establishing an environment in which E-Commerce can grow and flourish, every computer can become a window open to every business, large and small, around the globe. The electronic medium we call the Internet has the potential to reduce actual transaction time, processing time and operational cost dramatically, while at the same time making information available globally. Internet-based E-Commerce has been embraced as a means of reducing operational cost and as a high potential means of generating revenue (Levis, 1996). The ubiquity of the web and the availability of browsers across different platforms provide a common base upon which E-Commerce applications can be built, especially in the enterprise. This common platform has reduced the significance of issues pertaining to software distribution and software installation, thus encouraging the expansion of E-Commerce via Intranets, Extranets and the Internet. E-Commerce provides new channels for the global marketing of tangible goods and presents opportunities to create new businesses providing information and other knowledge-based intangible products (Rhodes & Carter, 1998). Although most E-Commerce is currently at the inter-corporate and inter-organizational level, services targeted at individual customers are evolving rapidly. The Internet is the most obvious example of this and is a major catalyst in the diffusion of E-Commerce, helping to foster a common environment for electronic transactions of all kinds. E-Commerce encompasses all forms of interactive business transactions, which are facilitated by networks of computers. E-Commerce is expanding because of the greater number of businesses and individuals who are able to use these networks and the growing number of ways in which businesses can conduct transactions electronically with other organizations and directly with consumers at a reduced cost (Bartell et al, 1999). At present, business-to-business E-Commerce seems still to be of greater volume than business-to-consumer E-Commerce with the primary motive of operational cost reduction, but this may change in the future. These trends are important to the global economy and to the economy of individual countries because E-Commerce contributes to economic efficiency. E-Commerce contributes to economic efficiency in five important ways. They includes shrinking distances and timescale, lowering distribution and operational costs, speeding product development, providing more information to buyers and sellers and enlarging customer choice and supplier reach (Turban et al, 2000). However, this study is focused on the role of E-Commerce in reducing operational cost in an organization. Furthermore, when offline stores calculate operational costs, they have to factor in countless business expenditures along with the actual number of transactions. When there are fewer transactions, the cost of per transaction is higher. On the flipside, transactions arriving in high quantity can overwhelm the personnel and distributors. In an E-Commerce business, the operational cost is the same across the board, whether one order or thousands come in. Dealdey.com was launched in March 2011and they features a daily deal on the best things to do, see, eat, and buy in Nigeria. DealDey is trying to create an easy and fun way to get fantastic deals on great experiences. DealDey.com supports local businesses and in return they support consumers with good savings. They are attempting to create a "Win-Win" scenario each and every day for local merchants who want to attract new customers, and consumers who want to save money and take advantage great services and activities in their own city. 1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Electronic commerce is a popular topic in business management, mass media and in informatics circles as well. Perhaps its impact is most visible in the areas of financial services and retailing. Many E-Commerce initiatives have risen in a short period of time. Those initiatives include innovative smart cards to facilitate E-Commerce, remote payments and electronic checking, online trading of stocks, bonds and related financial instruments, online banking, and online retailing (e-tailing). However, its effect on the reduction of operational cost of organization has been examined in a number of ways comparatively to brick and mortar organizations for instance the money received for every transaction will pay for the item; it will also contribute to the salesperson salary, credit card fees, lease on storefront, electricity, telephone, heating/cooling, taxes, displays, repairs and maintenance to the building. However, the money received for an E-Commerce transaction pays for the item, web hosting, shopping cart software, distribution and little else. The cost overall of maintaining a virtual store is far less than that of a brick and mortar store. 1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The following are the objectives of this study: To examine the role of E-commerce in reducing operational cost in an organization. To identify other benefits accruable from E-commerce in Nigeria. To identify the limitations and disadvantages of E-commerce in Nigeria. 1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS What is the role of E-commerce in reducing operational cost in an organization? What are the other benefits accruable from E-commerce in Nigeria? What are the limitations and disadvantages of E-commerce in Nigeria? 1.5 HYPOTHESIS HO: There is no significant relationship between E-commerce and reduced operational cost in an organization. HA: There is significant relationship between E-commerce and reduced operational cost in an organization. 1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY The following are the significance of this study: The outcome of this study will educate business managers and the general public on the role of E-commerce in reducing the operational cost of business organizations. This research will be a contribution to the body of literature in the area of the effect of personality trait on student’s academic performance, thereby constituting the empirical literature for future research in the subject area 1.7 SCOPE/LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY This study will cover the benefits of E-commerce with special focus on its influence as regards operational cost reduction in business organizations. LIMITATION OF STUDY Financial constraint- Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet, questionnaire and interview). Time constraint- The researcher will simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. This consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the research work REFERENCES Bartell, R.L.

Apart from high demand and low supply, there are other factors responsible for this high rent and, according to Akinlade (2014), the Lagos Tenancy Law and multiple taxation are driving up house rents in Lagos. Recognizing that Lagos is home to over 21 million people, with housing posing a major challenge to the huge population, the state government in August 2011 enacted the Tenancy Law which prescribes one year rent for a new tenant and six months for a sitting tenant. Akinlade (2014) explained that the single year rent payment law has discouraged investment in homes for rent and has pushed rent to new level, adding that, presently, landlords collect two years’ rent for one year in many locations in Lagos.He explained further that developers, through multiple taxation, were made to pay for land, planning and approval, environment, council and taxes.Access to land through government allocation is a battleground for money bags in Lagos. Planning approval takes forever, yet the government says it will take one to two months. The Federal Government’s housing policies has not contributed enough for developers in that access to credit from banks was near-impossible for developers and developers that are lucky to receive loan offers must find over 150 percent security for the bank to hold; 25 percent interest rate on bank loans which is a killer for any developer’s business plan (Collins, 2003). Other reasons for the high rent to include sale of Federal Government’s land in Lagos, high exchange rate to import building material, highly priced local building material, high fuel costs showing itself through transportation costs and generators, highlabour costs, and inadequate design to maximize land space. Lagos has seen 30 years of mass housing gap, because since after Lateef Jakande governed Lagos from 1979 to 1983, there has been no mass housing for rent.Jakande was the last governor of the state that successfully implemented and delivered mass housing policies for rent. For 30 years, successive governments ignored this need of Lagos residents. Jakande also commissioned a report on homes shortage in Nigeria, as at 2010, estimated at 16 million and projected to reach 20 million by 2020. According to Affe (2008), it is fair to the citizens that government discharge its responsibilities to the people and give meaningful life to the citizens. This underscores the point why Land Use Charge was introduced by Lagos State Government to raise revenue for maintaining existing infrastructure and provide new ones. It is in line with this that the researcher is examining the effect of tenancy law and multiple taxation of residential house rent in Lagos State. 1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Lagos State is steadily emerging a multi-nuclei metropolis giving rise to a number of real estate submarkets. Notwithstanding, residential house rent has been abnormally high especially in thenormally adjudged as more juicy in some neighborhoods such as Ikoyi, Victoria Island, Lekki-axis, Ikeja, Apapa, IsaleEko and AmuwoOdofin. However, researchers are of the opinion that the skyrocketed residential house rent in Lagos State is occasioned by several factors including the tenancy law introduced by the Lagos State government and multiple taxation. This study is examining the effect of tenancy law and multiple taxation on residential house rent in Lagos State. 1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The following are the objectives of this study: To examine the effect of tenancy law on residential house rent in Lagos State. To examine the effect of multiple taxation on residential house rent in Lagos State. To identify other factors that determines residential house rent in Lagos State. 1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS What are the effects of tenancy law on residential house rent in Lagos State? What are the effects of multiple taxation on residential house rent in Lagos State? What are the factors that determine residential house rent in Lagos State? 1.5 HYPOTHESIS HO: Tenancy law and multiple taxation does not influence residential house rent in Lagos State. HA: Tenancy law and multiple taxation does influence residential house rent in Lagos State. 1.6 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY The following are the significance of this study: Findings from this study will educate the general public on how tenancy law and multiple taxation has affected residential house rent in Lagos State. It will also be a guide for policy makers and the government of Lagos State on how to checkmate the issue related to individuals or corporate body paying two or more types of tax at the same time. This research will also serve as a resource base to other scholars and researchers interested in carrying out further research in this field subsequently, if applied will go to an extent to provide new explanation to the topic 1.7 SCOPE/LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY This study will cover the tenancy law of lagos state and all the issues of multiple taxation with a view of identifying their influence of residential house rent.
