Constantine Imafidon Tongo is a senior lecturer in the Department of Human Resources Management/Organisational Behaviour at Lagos Business School.
He began his professional career as a business development manager of a manufacturing company, the Freedom Group, which was in the business of mining and processing solid minerals in Nigeria. There he served as an internal business consultant with the responsibility of generating new business ideas and expanding the overall frontiers of the company. He later joined Centre piece Management Consultants, where he was involved with facilitating sessions on Manpower Development Programmes organised for giant corporations like the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) and the National Fertilizer Company of Nigeria (NAFCON).
After enjoying a good feel of industrial life for about six years, his scholarly disposition led him to start a career at Covenant University. At Covenant University he was a faculty member of the Industrial Relations/ Human Resources Management Programme of the institution, and was involved with the teaching of such courses as behavioural science, collective bargaining, motivation and productivity at the university until he joined LBS.
His strong flair for quantitative analysis provided him with the adequate impetus for seeking ways of developing operations research-based models (linear programming, dynamic programming, Markov chains and models on artificial intelligence) that can help with the effective allocation of scarce human resources to the various operations of an enterprise. To this end, Tongo’s PhD thesis at the University of Benin, Nigeria became a watershed in the area of effective allocation of police patrol efforts in crime prone areas in Nigeria, and the world over. An excerpt of his PhD thesis has since been published by the International Journal of Operational Research (a highly rated journal of management science).
His works have appeared in many other reputable journals like the International Journal of Learning and Intellectual Capital (Switzerland), Business Review, Cambridge (U.S.A), African Journal of Business and Economic research (London), Journal of American Academy of Business Cambridge (U.S.A.), Journal of the Social Science Academy of Nigeria and Nigerian Management Review- Journal of the Centre for Management Development in Nigeria. He is also a contributor to the prestigious book on Knowledge Ecology in Global Business: Managing Intellectual Capital published in the U.S.A.
Dr Tongo’s current areas of research interest are intellectual capital management, public sector management, diversity management, management of organisational cultures, compensation management, dynamic programming and stochastic decision processes.
