Yuwei Hou 1, Hong Wang 2
DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2024.5001
ABSTRACT: With the strengthening of international environmental and climate governance treaties, China is
expected to bear more responsibilities in emissions reduction as a populous country. The new energy vehicle
(NEV) industry represents a sustainable future and embodies China's commitment to low-carbon responsibilities.
As a strategic sector of the national economy, the industry produces numerous mature brands venturing overseas.
In 2022, the Chinese brand BYD surpassed Tesla to become the global leader in sales. How did China's new
energy vehicle (NEV) industry achieve internationalization? And how did BYD stand out among them? The study
takes China's new energy vehicles (NEVs) as the research object to explore the internationalization path, through
quantitative analysis of changes in trade data from an industry perspective and qualitative analysis of BYD's
successful internationalization strategies from the enterprise perspective. The study discovers the significant role
played by Belt and Road countries in this process, has a deeper understanding of the industry's internationalization
process through BYD strategy, and provides valuable insights for the subsequent development of high-end green
industries.

Impact of Flood on Primary School Going Students' Performance: A Qualitative Study
Tania Jannatul Kubra
DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2024.5002
ABSTRACT: The result of this research showed that flood impacts directly on the performance of the primary
school-going students. The study discovered that students' access to their educational rights was disrupted and
that there were significant levels of sensitivity to the effects of flooding. According to the findings, both public
and private assets incur more damage during a flood disaster. The study suggests educating students about
disasters and getting acquainted with them so they can adapt to their impacts. The operation of education in good
facilities increases the quality of education and improves overall student performance. The study's findings
demonstrated that floods had a direct effect on elementary school pupils' academic performance. The study found
that there were notable levels of sensitivity to the impacts of floods and that students' access to their rights to an
education was hindered. The results show that after a flood disaster, assets owned by the public and private
sectors sustain more damage. According to the study, in order for pupils to be able to adjust to the effects of
catastrophes, they need learn about and get familiar with them. When education is conducted in well-maintained
facilities, both the overall performance of students and the quality of instruction are enhanced.

Tabeth Chinokopota 1, Grace Kuda Portia Ngorora-Madzimure 2, Nothando Msipa 3 and Thomas Brighton Bhebhe
DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2024.5003
ABSTRACT: The purpose of the review was to establish the relationship between entrepreneurship skills
development and a sustainable education system. The introduction of entrepreneurship skills development into
the education system in Zimbabwe was meant to equip students with life skills. Currently, the education system
focuses mainly on theoretical components, a thing that has caused high unemployment among school leavers. The
study noted that the continued production of job-seekers instead of job-creators by schools, colleges and
universities in Zimbabwe has affected the sustainability of the education system. This review established that
entrepreneurship skills development and a sustainable education system are closely linked. The review noted that
to government and parents, the purpose of sending children to school at high costs is to prepare them for life and
if after education, school-leavers cannot be absorbed in in the job market, it is a waste of time and resources. It
was also a finding of this review that entrepreneurship training in schools, colleges and universities significantly
lowers unemployment since it equips students with innovative skills to generate income by producing goods and
services. To develop entrepreneurial skills among students, the review recommended that authorities should
review the curriculum in schools, colleges and universities to make entrepreneurial training mandatory. Students as
early as primary school should know that to eke a living, one must grab opportunities, utilise resources, through
production of goods and services, penetrate the market, make money and that it is with such money that a person
can meet the other basic needs.

Diana Kandie and Dr. Abel
DOI: https://doi.org/10.56293/IJMSSSR.2024.5006
ABSTRACT:Managing the knowledge of an organization contributes to its competitive advantage. It has been tested
elsewhere that knowledge management relates to competitive advantage, but not to farms in Nakuru County,
Kenya. The project therefore set out to assess how knowledge management relates to competitive advantage as
regards to farms doing flower growing in the identified area of Nakuru County in Kenya. This study mainly
concerned evaluation of the effects of knowledge management dimensions, which included conversion,
application, acquisition and protection on competitive advantage. This study applied descriptive survey research
approach. The target population included 839 workers from 14 flower farms in Molo County. Consistency of
factors was tested in an attempt to understand the research tool reliability. Content validity was determined by the
researcher in collaboration with the supervisor and the opinion of an expert and tests on the instruments. Data
was collected by questionnaire. The obtained data evaluated using SPSS to derive descriptive statistics, which
included measures of central tendency, tables and graphs. The descriptive statistics affirmed Knowledge
acquisition, knowledge conversion, knowledge application, knowledge protection, and competitive advantage
among the firms. Inferential regression analysis was done, in which the independent variables were the knowledge
management dimensions that included knowledge acquisition, knowledge conversion, knowledge application and
knowledge protection, while the dependent variable was competitive advantage. The tests results showed that
25.4% of the total variation in the measurement of competitive advantage was explained by knowledge
management. Further, the F-value of 6.716, p-value (0.000) < 0.05 level of significance (2-tailed) indicated that
there was a statistically significant relationship between knowledge management and competitive advantage at the
95% confidence level. Thus, knowledge management influenced competitive advantage among the flower firms.
The study will help flower industry stakeholders, including flower farm workers and managers understand the
value of establishing knowledge management skills for a sustainable competitive advantage. Research results can
act as a self-assessment tool for knowledge management capabilities to increase an organization's competitive
advantage. The research findings and recommendations will be of great relevance to flower farm management to
understand the value of knowledge management capabilities and how they improve the efficiency and innovation
