Business students often learn about business management or product marketing in a traditional classroom setting. Unfortunately, this pedagogical method suffers from a major drawback i.e. it does not provide students with the practical experiences that are equally important as their theoretical counterpart. As a consequence, the students’ mastery in these topics is superficial and unstimulating.
To address this shortcoming, this project will provide students with an opportunity to run a mock business venture and thereby gain the relevant practical experiences. In addition, it will also fulfil another learning objective i.e. to comprehend the social responsibilities of a business and how to discharge them effectively. For this last purpose, students will donate 100% of their profits from the project to the charitable organization of their choice.
This event has enabled us to describe and analyse the theories of human resources management, marketing, production and finance and their applications. Other than that, we can also apply ethical and social responsibilities as well as undertake leadership roles and make quality decisions/judgments in the context of simulated business environments.
5.3 Conclusions
The study revealed that NGOs, through community education, can awaken latent local champions that would act as representatives of a community, take over the leadership role and push through the partnership. The findings concurs with the Livingstone Byekwaso (2006) that civic education to community is important in protecting rights of vulnerable groups like older people and children, as well as providing social, economic, cultural and political support to them and he also acknowledged on the role of NGOs including SAWAKA, in protecting the rights and entitlements of older people and vulnerable groups Therefore the study concludes that awareness creation by national NGOs had a positive influence on the implementation of child development policy in Karagwe.
The study established that Monitoring by NGO help to ensure smooth policy implementation progress as well which enhances the quality of expected results ,the findings concurs with the literature by Greenblot, (2008) that NGO’s played important roles through participatory monitoring and evaluation (PM&E) towards the implementation of child development policy, therefore the study concludes that monitoring and evaluation on implementation of child development policies done by national NGOs in Karagwe enhance the implementation of child development policies.
The study revealed that Non-governmental organizations Carry out research on issues of importance to implementation of policy and share findings with the Government and other stakeholders, thus the study concludes that surveys by national NGOs on have a positive influence on the implementation of child development policy in Karagwe
