Abstract Abstract: This study is an empirical investigation into the role of financial intelligence on sustainable business growth and profitability. Finance is the life of every business and if intelligence is not applied in the management of business finance, it will lead to the pack-up of many start-ups. The study seeks to ascertain the exact role played by financial intelligence in sustainable business growth and profitability. The Study adopted a cross sectional survey research design in studying some Manufacturing Firms in Delta State which were accessible as population of study. This study empirically proved that there is a significant connection between Financial Intelligence and Sustainable Business Growth as well as a very significant connection between financial intelligence and profitability of Manufacturing firms studied and all businesses from the study reviews. These findings indicate that financial intelligence is a necessary skill or ability for manufacturing firms to be profitable and for businesses to grow sustainably. This study concludes empirically by demonstrating that financial intelligence is crucial for all entrepreneurs and business executives to have because it equips them with the knowledge and skills necessary to manage financial risks, make prudent financial decisions, and ensure long-term profitability. As the digital era advances, the importance of financial intelligence will only increase. This study also empirically proved that any start-up without financial intelligence will soon pack-up.

Abstract Abstract Most policymakers and academics agree that entrepreneurship is critical to the development and well-being of society. Entrepreneurs create jobs; they drive and shape innovation, speeding up structural changes in the economy. Entrepreneurship is thus a catalyst for economic growth and national competitiveness. While there has been significant research on the causes of entrepreneurial propensity, only a limited number of studies have focused on the entrepreneurial intent among university students. Currently, in Nigeria graduate unemployment has become an albatross around the necks of the average school leaver in particular and the society in general. Graduate unemployment has increased the already high dependency syndrome and many believe entrepreneurship is the number one medicine to this unfortunate situation. It was observed that entrepreneurial intentions have proved to be a primary predictor of future entrepreneurial behaviour, that perceive behavioural control influences positively on entrepreneurial intentions and that personal attitude is positively related to entrepreneurial intentions. The study further suggest that further research could test the actual behaviour of students after intention to ascertain levels of correspondences between intentions and impact using longitudinal survey research design.
