Chapter One — 1.1 Background to the Study

Curriculum Review Practices has increasingly attracted the attention of researchers, regulators, and practitioners concerned with curriculum implementation success. This growing interest reflects the recognition that curriculum review practices does not operate in isolation, but interacts with a wider set of institutional and market conditions found within Selected Family-Owned Businesses in Nigeria.

Within the context of Selected Family-Owned Businesses in Nigeria, this relationship carries particular significance.
