The need to embed business ethics in the teaching of management disciplines has at times given rise to a debate as to whether ethics should be taught as a stand-alone course or in an embedded manner. So far, the majority of opinions favor a consensus that both approaches are relevant and should be used complementarily for optimal results. This book offers unique insights into the experience of seasoned academics who embed business ethics in teaching management theory and practice. Its multidisciplinary approach enriches its content, since the insights of our colleagues from within their fields are invaluable. It therefore complements other business textbooks. Disciplines covered in this volume include entrepreneurship, accounting (financial accounting, cost accounting, auditing and tax), corporate finance, financial decision-making, investment, business statistics, international recruitment and international business. The book provides a platform to share experiences of teaching ethical profitability. This contributes to resolving concerns experienced when faculty wish to incorporate ethics into their teaching but feel they lack preparation or ideas on how to do it. The chapters describe each discipline briefly, raise the typical ethical issues therein, and suggest teaching strategies and exercises or projects. The "developing versus developed country perspectives" sections may interest schools with high student diversity. The book also meets in-company training needs for attaining and sustaining an ethical culture.

So far, the majority of opinions favor a consensus that both approaches are relevant and should be used complementarily for optimal results. This book provides unique insights into the experience of seasoned academics regarding embedding business ethics into their teaching of the practice of management. Its multidisciplinary approach makes its content very rich, since the insights of our colleagues from within their fields are invaluable. The book therefore functions as a handbook for faculty as well as a complementary textbook for the business student (to highlight the ethical dilemmas for the different managerial functional roles). Disciplines covered include decision- making, strategy and agency theory; management accounting and macroeconomics; operations management, supply chain management and the management of information systems; marketing and consumer behavior; human resources management, career management, negotiation, managing corporate power and politics, and community and investor relations.

The challenges of covering COVID-19 have been the focus of scholarly attention since the pandemic was announced by the World Health Organization in 2020. However, we have little understanding of how external and internal factors influenced journalistic role conception from the perspectives of African diaspora journalists. Using journalistic role conception and perceived influence frameworks, this study examines whether what African diaspora journalists in the United Kingdom and Germany say about the factors that influenced their journalistic role conception matches with what they actually do through focus group discussions (FGDs) and content analysis of news stories in two media for and by African diasporas between March 2020 and August 2021. The findings show that five external factors (lockdown restrictions, fake news, effects of COVID-19 in the Black communities, economic model and official/non-official sources) and two internal factors (dominant framing of Africa and reorganization) mostly influenced journalistic role conception during the pandemic and that there was evidence to suggest that what they say they experienced (narrated role) matched with what they actually do (practised role).

This analytical scoping review contributes to the debate about the diaspora's terminological dispersal that has dominated scholarly discourse in the past two decades. The author argues that diaspora as a 'metaphoric designation' is a useful conceptual entry point to chart the multiplicity of ways in which diaspora research has evolved in the twenty-first century. From this premise, diaspora as a 'metaphoric designation' mitigates against the 'nostalgia-premised' definitions of diasporas and could resolve the concerns about 'terminological dispersal' that have proliferated in diaspora studies.

In the last thirty years, deficit financing has become a major impediment to fiscal balance in the administration of public expenditure in Nigeria. From the middle of the 1980s up to the present, the federal government has consistently overspent its actual revenue accruals and have even borrowed in the pursuit of projects for which she has too little revenue backing. In fact, since the beginning of democratic rule in the current fourth republic, government has increasingly failed to balance its budget with grave consequences for price levels, interest rates, inflation and macroeconomic stability. This paper shows that deficit financing of public expenditure by the Nigerian government is however not a recent issue and that it can be traced to the formative years of Nigeria's public finance in the colonial period. The paper however argues that unlike the current practice, deficit financing was driven more in the colonial period by the need to build an infrastructure base for the economy rather than on personnel and overhead expenses manifested in the lopsided allocation of the greatest proportion of public revenues to the recurrent budget as it is the practice in Nigeria today.

Framing studies consistently conclude that the international news media represent African conflicts negatively and stereotypically. Owing to their focus on media content, however, most framing studies fail to examine the dynamic relationship between journalists' cognitive role (what they say they do) and their practice role (what they actually do). Using parallel content analysis, this study compares what African diaspora journalists write about African conflicts with what they say about them. The analysis reveals that they show a preference for a factual style and a governing frame, and less preference for a judgmental style, which aligns with what they say, and a slight preference for background context which marginally aligns with what they say. However, low newsroom budgets and advertising revenue could undermine their attempts to de-Westernize the portrayal of African conflicts.

Abstract
People in the diaspora exhibit a dual identity, that is, an identity connected to their homeland and to their host country. This duality creates a constant tension, which could escalate into a crisis when they are exposed to negative messages about events at home such as conflict, political and economic instability and/or to negative messages about events in the host country such as unfavourable changes in immigration policy, physical attacks on group members and negative stereotyping in the mainstream media. This study focuses on the role of diasporic media in mediating identity crisis among black African diasporas. Adopting interview and critical discourse analysis methods, this study found that the African diasporic press de-escalates identity crisis by projecting African diasporas as 'doers' rather than as 'villains' in the news. But it fails to drastically reduce identity crisis because of a limited use of conflict-sensitive reporting criteria in news stories of African conflicts.

Abstract

Scholarly research into journalists as a subject of study is increasing. Through this, scholars found there is no consensus among journalists about journalistic practice. This is because journalistic roles are discursively recreated, reinterpreted, appropriated, and contested. The coverage of the EU referendum in the UK provides an opportunity to further explore journalistic roles through a focus group of EU and diaspora journalists and academics. The study reveals that participants were critical of the roles played by the British press in the coverage of the referendum and that they were concerned about its effects on their physical and emotional well-being. Hence, they urge media organisations to offer support and training to redress these concerns. In conclusion, the study provides an in-depth and intense probing of journalistic roles and their eff ects in relation to the coverage of the EU referendum.
