Abstract
Aircraft noise nuisance, particularly in the vicinity of airports, makes it necessary to monitor aircraft noise continuously. As with all kinds of other monitoring installations used in environmental protection, aircraft noise monitoring also contributes to the reporting, investigation and prevention of nuisance and damage. Specific tasks are generated for this, such as the gathering of empirical values, understanding of actual conditions, control of limit values, yield of large quantities of data as well as its teletransmission, processing and analysis. Modern computer techniques are best suited to these tasks. Siemens monitoring systems have proved themselves at many airports. Their modular design makes them forward‐looking, since they can be extended to cover any additional task at any time.
The purpose of this qualitative case study is to explore strategies for the de-escalation of kleptocracy in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this qualitative case study is to explore strategies for the de-escalation of kleptocracy in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry.
Design/methodology/approach
The author used a qualitative case study to facilitate the generation of data from eight research participants in semi-structured open-ended interviews.
Findings
The themes that emerged from analysis of interview transcriptions were high self-control, traditional African oath of office, whistleblowing, stiffer penalties for corrupt officials, education and training, self-regulation and sonic therapeutic intervention.
Research limitations/implications
Interviewees might withhold information regarding their insights on strategies for de-escalating kleptocracy. That was beyond my control.
Practical implications
The study results provided leaders with insightful comprehension of anti-kleptocracy policy in the oil and gas industry. Therefore, leaders would benefit and advance their decision-making process on the development and implementation of an anti-kleptocracy strategy to revamp the financial value of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria.
Social implications
The results of the study have the potential to contribute to positive social change by enlightening government leaders and anti-corruption agencies on strategies to de-escalate kleptocracy in the oil and gas industry.
Originality/value
The study’s uniqueness enabled filling the gap in financial crime literature as well as an added value to the applied management and decision sciences domain.
