ABSTRACT
Transformation has been widely adjudged as the major index, for social change which is best applied to pandemic economies for resilience. This is necessary for people to live within the planetary boundary to prevent cynical consequences. Nowhere is the need for a transformation shift greater than in Sub-Saharan Africa where the region is assumed by extant scholars and true shreds of evidence to be the worst in virtually all of the most important social and economic indicators. The region's ugly circumstances were further exacerbated by COVID 19 pandemic thereby highlighting the fragility and complexity of the region’s socio-economic system. It becomes imperative to demonstrate the urge for an innovative solution conducive to universal values which will protect and sustain economic prosperity. This is ultimately embedded in Cooperative Model. The paper is a qualitative study involving the appraisal and strategic options of transformation in the region through the Cooperative Model. It is concluded that the region’s leadership adopts a more innovative growth model through strategic alliances, networks and joint ventures with cooperatives to salvage the region.

ABSTRACT
The Government has promulgated the "Strategy to develop the banking industry in Vietnam to 2025, with orientation to 2030," The strategic perspective on the development of Vietnam's banking system plays an essential role in the financial system. Credit institutions or commercial banks are treated equally, compete following the law, operate autonomously, and take self-responsibility. In the past time, although the human resource of the credit institution system has improved significantly, the Government still sets a requirement to focus on developing human resources of the banking industry to ensure the completion of strategic goals. The article outlines several limitations and inadequacies in human resources of commercial banks, thereby proposing some solutions to develop human resources of commercial banks to successfully implement the development strategy of the banking industry to 2025 and orientation to 2030.

ABSTRACT
This work explained what succession planning is and the role it plays in granting competitive advantage to Family Owned Business (FOB) that implement it. FOBs are business entities that have ties with family, as many big corporations today started as FOBs. It is ubiquitous and a very old businesses form, but is survival rate is not encouraging as statistics reveals. Hence, this work looked at how the principles of succession planning can be used to perpetuate the existing of FOBs by giving them a sustainable competitive edge. Succession planning deals with making plans for when the founders/owners of such businesses are no longer around. This study examined the challenges facing succession planning in FOBS and reasons for succession management in businesses. Five works were empirically examined to see how they did their studies and their findings. The work concluded that to look at the sustainability of FOBs and their competitive advantage thereof, the issue of success planning is key. Following the conclusion, the study recommended among others that succession planning should not be left in the hands of businesses alone, seeing that these businesses are major economic players, the government needs to take a lead role in educating and ensuring they have succession plans in place.

ABSTRACT
The rancour observed in many secondary schools in Anambra State Nigeria and the consequent poor performance of teachers, necessitated this study to examine the nexus existing between emotional intelligence and the teacher's performance. The work was anchored on the Emotional Intelligence Theory (Eq-Emotional Quotient) by Pahl in 2008 and the Ability-Based Theory by Mayer, Salovey, and Caruso in 2008. A survey research design was adopted for the study, with a population and sample size of 650 and 242 respectively. The instrument for data collection was a questionnaire, which was subjected to both reliability and validity tests. Data analysis was done using correlation analysis and hypotheses tested at a 5% level of significance. Results showed that self-control has a statistically significant influence on employees’ creativity and that empathy has a statistically significant influence on employees’ commitment in secondary schools in Anambra State. The study, therefore, concluded that emotional intelligence affects the performance of teachers in secondary schools in Anambra State, Nigeria and recommended among others that the principals need to exhibit self-control as it has been shown to go a long way in influencing employees’ creativity and output of teachers.
