Importance of identifying and analyzing business development needs for economic survival and sustainable development through human capital
Journal Title: E3 Journal of Business Management and Economics - Year 2011, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
A business firm’s ability to effectively take advantage of new business opportunities depends to a large extent on the quality of its human capital. For a firm to improve or increase its stock of human capital, it needs to continue to develop its human resources. This paper demonstrates theoretically that there is a strong connection between firms’ ability to identify and analyze business development needs, using their stock of human capital, and the achievement of economic survival and sustainable development of a nation. The paper makes a case for sufficient emphasis on the funding of the drivers of human capital development – education and health - if developing nations, like Nigeria, should transit into world class economies in the near future.
