“…Although the act of whistleblowing can be helpful to the organization in certain ways such as probity, fairness and continuous improvement, the lack of due consideration of stakeholders’ interests in the process of organizational decisions and actions in response to whistleblowing can result in unwanted profane events, in their operational systems that can create disruptions (Ufua et al. , 2019; Ufua et al. , 2022a, 2022b).…”

“…The need for stakeholder consultation is fundamental to the effective management of whistleblowing and interpretation. Although the act of whistleblowing can be helpful to the organization in certain ways such as probity, fairness and continuous improvement, the lack of due consideration of stakeholders' interests in the process of organizational decisions and actions in response to whistleblowing can result in unwanted profane events, in their operational systems that can create disruptions (Ufua et al, 2019;Ufua et al, 2022aUfua et al, , 2022b. However, the argument of this study, in addressing critical organizational issues such as whistleblowing and interpretation, requires the pragmatic show of stakeholder concerns to effectively address, intending to maintain organizational focus across its structure.…”

Purpose This study aims to explore the effect of whistleblowing and interpretation among practitioners in the Nigerian economy. The research puts a premium on understanding the relevance and critical issues in its practices and developing an improved model for the effective practice of whistleblowing and interpretation in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a conceptual approach, relying on extant literature to understand the management of whistleblowing incidents and identify the managers’ and other stakeholders’ responsibility in the whistleblowing process. It applied systems dynamics conceptual modelling and presented an improvement approach to addressing the complexities associated with whistleblowing and interpretation among Nigerian organizations. Findings This study contributed to the extant literature by developing a model for proper management of whistleblowing in the Nigerian context and enhancing the robust practice of whistleblowing and interpretation in Nigeria. The findings highlighted critical factors such as managers’ skills development, legal system support, institutional stakeholders’ function and ethical balance as key factors to effective whistleblowing management and interpretation. This implies that the act of identifying and developing responses to an emerging case of whistleblowing requires a process of developing underpinning assumptions, engagement and consideration of stakeholders’ interests while driving the sustenance of organizational focus. Originality/value This study emphasized the departure from absolute best practice to developing idea approaches that reflect stakeholders’ interests and the context of whistleblowing and interpretation. While the study acknowledges limitations in the sole focus on the Nigerian private sector and the Nigerian economic background, it recommends further exploration of whistleblowing and its interpretation on a comparative approach, to improving the current understanding of the topic.

“…Nevertheless, due to the differences in contexts and operational focuses, it is arguable to note that outright replication of lean philosophy can be impossible for entrepreneurship practitioners and SMEs. What seems an apparent reality is an adaptation of the lean principles via a process of engagement with both the affected stakeholders and the deployment of available resources towards the pursuit of set lean objectives (Elias, 2019 ; Ufua et al, 2022 ). This is also relevant to the Nigerian lean entrepreneur who tends to operate on a 'stand-alone basis as there is minimal public sector support, especially in a critical situation such as the challenging effects of COVID-19 pandemic (Imanche et al, 2020 ; Jelilov et al, 2020 ).…”

This study investigates lean principles among Nigerian entrepreneurs and SME managers in the operational process in the aftermath of COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria. It offers the panacea to the challenge of social-economic shocks and their adverse effects on SMEs' business activities in Nigeria. The study adopts a conceptual approach to investigate lean entrepreneurship practice by SMEs in Nigeria. It relies on data from extant literature, using a conceptual approach to examine the social-economic effects of COVID-19 pandemic and critical environmental factors on the lean entrepreneurship practice in Nigeria. Furthermore, the study explores the influence of lean practice among SMEs and entrepreneurs in Nigeria and suggests a broad model for lean entrepreneurial practice in post-COVID-19 pandemic Nigeria. Findings highlight the broad social-economic effects of COVID-19 pandemic and other challenges such as theft, host community pressure, weak legal system, and inadequate government policy support affect lean entrepreneurship practice. These factors constitute complex operational issues that would require the adoption of a more comprehensive approach to address. It also highlights crucial factors for post-COVID-19 pandemic SMEs' operational success in Nigeria due to deficits in infrastructure and regulatory efficiency for SMEs' operations to address the various challenges of business failures in Nigeria. The study suggests a lean SME and Entrepreneurial Practice model in the post-COVID-19 pandemic era. It emphasises the need to refocus the active interest of the lean entrepreneur on critical business sustainability. The study recommends a critical review of the internal operational process among practicing entrepreneurial businesses and a re-modification of public policies system that governs the operational functions of entrepreneurial practices for reasonable and resilient post-COVID-19 pandemic entrepreneurship practices that can support the SMEs and economic growth in Nigeria.

“…These include contributors of the various value chains within the informal sector, such as the host communities' representatives, business partners, and employees who participate in economic activities within the sector. Engaging these stakeholders can project a process of interactions and a jointly enacted fair transformation process involving both the affected and involved stakeholders in the sector (Ufua, Olujobi, et al, 2020: Ufua et al, 2022).…”

The informal business sector has made enormous contributions to Nigeria's economic growth and development, but this sector is not given the necessary attention to transforming these businesses toward sustainability. This study explores the depth of informal business sector practices in Nigeria. It underscores the inputs of stakeholders in the transformation of businesses in the Nigerian informal sector to increase tax remittances and employment generation for job security in the Nigerian economy. Also, it underpins value chain performances to transform the informal sector and rescue it from liquidation through voluntary company arrangements, administration, merger, takeover, and acquisition schemes. The study adopts a conceptual review. The research relies on extant literature relating to the antecedence of informal business sector activities in Nigeria. It relies on reports from tertiary data sources such as academic articles, books, newspapers, the Internet, and website sources. It further explores the views of researchers, covering the informal sector development and the support of the provisions of the social services in Nigeria. There is the absence of a model for the transformation and sustainability of the informal sector enterprises in Nigeria. This study recommends a model approach to address informal sector enterprises' issues and challenges necessary to transform the businesses into a formal status while supporting their sustainability and resilience.
