    AI-driven transformation and sustainable competitive advantage
    (Eliva Press, 2026-10-05) Bazigu, Rodgers
    Every competitor can now buy the same algorithms. So where does lasting advantage come from? AI-Driven Transformation and Sustainable Competitive Advantage follows GlobalTech Solutions, a technology-services firm whose leaders believe they are ready for artificial intelligence while their systems tell a different story. Through this case, the book examines four areas where AI now shapes commercial success: customer segmentation and personalisation, revenue forecasting and dynamic pricing, sentiment-driven customer service, and intelligent logistics. Drawing on strategic management theory and current research in machine learning, the book reaches a clear conclusion. Advantage does not come from the technology itself. It comes from integrated data, cross-functional routines and, above all, customer trust. The same pricing engine or recommender that lifts revenue can quietly erode the relationships it depends on, unless it is built responsibly from the start. Readers will find a conceptual framework linking AI capability to sustainable advantage, a lifecycle model for responsible AI governance, a strategic prioritisation matrix and a five-phase implementation roadmap. The book is written for postgraduate students, researchers and managers in emerging markets who need to turn AI ambition into AI capability.

    Role of Radio in Improving Livelihoods: The Case of Central Broadcasting Services’ Project to Empower Women in Savings and Loan Associations in Nsangi Sub-County, Wakiso District, Uganda
    (Uganda Martyrs University, 2020-08-01) Nangooba, B Margaret
    This study investigated Central Broadcasting Services’ Project to Empower Women in Savings and Loan Associations (CBS-PEWOSA) in Nsangi sub-county, Wakiso district, Uganda. Data was gathered from members of the associations using questionnaires, key informant interviews and focus group discussions. The findings showed that the project has increased awareness about and knowledge of solutions to community development problems ranging from culture, rural development, education, and women empowerment to agriculture. Communities have been mobilized to form groups, save and borrow to invest in Small and Medium Enterprises, which has led to improvements in their livelihoods. However, illiteracy, resistance to new ideas, under funding and limited airtime allocated to development programs on the radio are constraining the project. Recommendations for the improved effectiveness of the project are made.
