ABSTRACT:

This study examines the connection between manpower development, business process performance and business intelligence maturity in Nigeria. A large-scale survey was used to gather data on the progressive decline in the ability of manpower to cope with the challenges that accompany the unfolding new dispensation in the industry. A random sampling technique was employed in selecting a total of 900 respondents from the Nigerian population. 150 senior managers each were selected from Lagos State, Oyo State, Osun State, Ogun State, Ondo State and Ekiti State. The statistical methods of frequency counts, pie charts, bar charts, and simple percentages were used to analyze the demographic characteristics of the respondents, while linear regression analysis was used to determine the impact of manpower development on business performance. Overall, the study findings indicate that manpower development plays a significant role in business performance in Nigeria. Based on the findings, it is recommended that firms should provide their employees with new training manuals containing detailed information about the requirements of the program and objectives expected upon completion of the program. Every initiative of a manpower development program must be evaluated, and the company should enhance the selection criterion.
