This research was designed to examine the relationship between Social Intelligence and Successful Strategic Change Management, a study of Jubilee Syringe Manufacturing Co. Ltd, Akwa Ibom State. Cross sectional survey design was adopted for the study and a sample size of 118 respondents was drawn from the population size of 330. For the objective of the study to be achieved, five hypotheses were formulated. The major instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire administered to the respondent using random sampling techniques. Data collected were analysed using simple percentage and Spearman Rank correlation. Results show that there is a significant correlation between Social Intelligence and Successful Strategic Change Management. Based on the finding of the analysis, In conclusion, this study supported other recent research findings that social intelligence is an important successful change management that is predictive of leadership. It also furthered the notion that intelligence is important in creating appropriate and original problem constructions. Because social intelligence is a trait that accounts for effective leader behaviour across multiple situations, it seems to reconcile the trait and situation approaches to leadership. Consequently, It is recommended that managers ensure positive organizational environment (working conditions, policies and procedures) necessary for stimulating successful strategic change management.

EFFECT OF CHANGE MANAGEMENT ON THE PERFORMANCE OF GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS IN RWANDA A CASE OF RWANDA REVENUE AUTHORITY (Published)
The main purpose of this research project is to analyze the effect of change management on the performance of government institutions in Rwanda. Today government and private institutions are facing many challenges in many areas of operation, this is mainly due to stiff competition and lack of change or even failing to implement change if at all change has been introduced. Rapid environmental changes, competition to provide innovative products and services, changing customer and investor demands and globalization have become the standard backdrop for firms. To compete effectively, organizations must constantly improve their performance by reducing costs, enhancing quality, and differentiating their products and services. Sustained competitive advantage could be generated from a firm’s human capital by designing strategic change management practices to diagnose a firm’s strategic needs which are required to implement a competitive strategy and achieve operational goals. The study adopted survey research design and the target population of employees of RRA. Data was collected using questionnaires and interviews and analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft Excel. Basing on the data collected study concluded that all changes made in RRA in the past four years have been well planned and implemented. Most of employees in the institution have generally embraced the changes made in the organization and at the same time resulting into overall organizational performance.

NEXUS OF CHANGE MANAGEMENT ON ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE AND SURVIVAL IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES (A CASE STUDY OF UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN) (Published)
Most business managers have seen change becoming a regular aspect of organizational life and they must constantly monitor and respond to these changes appropriately. The overriding goal is to optimize the output of the people involved in this process and reduce the risk of failure in achieving the desired change. Change management is usually seen from an organizational context and refers to the process of developing a planned approach to change in an organization. Business environment has become much more turbulent, uncertain and demanding change is inevitable in an organisation. Business operates in a dynamic environment and organisation that fails to recognise the inevitability of change is doomed to fail. This paper is designed to examine the nexus of change management on organisational performance and survival in Nigerian universities using University of Ilorin as a case study. Both primary and secondary sources of data constitute the main source of data gathering. Random sampling technique was used in selecting the sample size. Regression analysis was used to analyse the data obtained and the testing of one hypothesis formulated. The results obtained reveal a strong negative relationship between changes introduced through Computer Based Test in the University.This research recommends that before embarking on any change, the university should attempt to maintain useful customs and informal relationship, build trust, encourage participation, provide information in advance, make only necessary changes, guarantee against loss, provide counselling, allow for negotiation between the University Management and the staff and students.

What, When, Why, and How? A Comparison between Agile Project Management and Traditional Project Management Methods (Published)
Agile project management (APM) has emerged as a new approach to managing high-risk and time-sensitive projects as it has proven to provide better productivity, higher quality, and more efficient decision making. In addition, APM has proven to result in lower overall project costs and faster time to market, due to its framework that is based on frequent customer interaction and frequent and quick delivery cycles. In spite of its momentum in various industries, a great deal of ambiguity exists in defining the details of APM methodology, processes, tools, and approach, especially when being compared with traditional project management (TPM) methods and processes. This confusion is amplified when software-related practices and specific artefacts are used to describe the APM because its method was influenced by agile software-development practices. This research study compares and contrasts the APM with TPM in the five process groups and 10 knowledge areas defined in the Project Management Institute PMBOK (2013). Moreover, it compares the two methods in key management disciplines related to leadership style, communication, change, scope, and risk management.
