Title A name given to the resource Harnessing electronic procurement to support efficient supply chain in Ghana’s health sector: a position paper Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Boateng Sarpong, Du Jianguo, HSUD Khan, Patrick Acheampong Description An account of the resource Public procurement is a central instrument to assist the efficient management of public resources. It supports the works and services of the government and can cover all acquisitions, including stationery, furniture, and temporary office staff as complex and high cost areas such as construction projects, aircraft carriers, and other private financial initiative projects. Similar to many other processes of ICT-enabled innovation, the introduction of e-procurement involves significant changes at the organizational level, arouses power struggles, challenges well-established supply networks, and implies modifications in culture and habits. This review critically reviews, the intricate issues involved electronic procurement system adoption, antecedents, prospects and challenges. A position is then presented on how these benefits can be harnessed and optimised efficiently to support healthcare supply chain management in Ghana.

Title A name given to the resource The Role of Institutional Policies in Promoting Agribusiness Development in Rural China Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Acheampong Patrick Owusu Samuel Mensah, Zhuang Jincai, Asare Bediako Isaac Description An account of the resource Sustainable agricultural growth has become an area of interest for many researchers in the quest to increase food production in the midst of an escalating population. However, the evidence remains largely scanty, isolated and devoid of an in-depth analysis of how some economic policies promote agribusiness development in mainland China. Using time series data from 1990 to 2013, this paper adopts semi-parametric quantile regression to study the complex relationship between institutional policies in rural areas and agribusiness development. The study revealed the role of family household in promoting agribusiness development at the higher quantiles of the distribution. Moreover, government investment in rural health and education contributed significantly across the quantile distribution. The impact of research and development on agribusiness development is positively significant across the quantile points of the distribution within the study period. The result from the quantile graph clearly shows the disparities between OLS and quantile regression coefficients.

Title A name given to the resource Stimulants of online shopping behaviour among chinese millenials in china Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Acheampong, Li Zhiwen, Ruhiya Abubakar, Henry Asante Antwi, Michael Owusu Akomeah Description An account of the resource To survive and prosper in the China, online companies must design their operational platforms to organically adjust to changes in consumer shopping behavior. The study investigated the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence the online purchasing behavior of Chinese millennials. A cohort of university students from selected parts of the Jiangsu province provided the sample of study. Consistent with the extant literature, the research confirms that millenials are influenced by several external factors, demographic factors, personal characteristics, and vendor/service/product characteristics and websites qualities when buying online. The economic, socio-cultural, technological, and legal considerations where the main external factors that influences online shopping behavior of Chinese millenials, internet knowledge, concern for security, need specificity and disposition to trust were the main personal characteristics identified. The study also found significant association between vendor services such as real existence of the store, store reputation, store size, reliability, assurance (seals, warranties, news clips) and use of testimonials/reference have association with millennials’ purchasing intention. Similar characteristics were identified for product characteristics, service quality factors and website quality and each of these is statistically significant.

In certain age groups and geographies, mobile payments have already unseated traditional means of effecting payment. In this study, 1,351 mobile payment users in Ghana were sampled using a structured questionnaire to investigate their intention to continue to use mobile payments technologies. The results showed that vendor reputation, word-of-mouth, and structural assurance significantly contribute to imbuing trust in mobile payment technology customers. When high levels of trust become identified with a brand, high numbers of customers choose to continue to use their current choice of mobile payment technology.

The total mutual fund asset globally as at the end of 2016 was in excess of $40.4 trillion. Despite its success there are uncertainties as to whether mutual funds in Ghana obtain optimal performance relative to their counterparts in United States, Luxembourg, Ireland, France, Australia, United Kingdom, Japan, China and Brazil. We contribute to the extant literature on mutual fund performance evaluation using a collection of more sophisticated econometric models. We selected six continuous historical years that is 2010–2011, 2012–2013 and 2014–2015 to construct a mutual fund performance evaluation model utilizing the fast adaptive neural network classifier (FANNC), and to compare our results … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Berlin Heidelberg Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2019 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=KuGpI3oAAAAJ&citation_for_view=KuGpI3oAAAAJ:-f6ydRqryjwC Language A language of the resource English http://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/166cda61c79e419ab9a9a734c4b12ac6.pdf f58ae99f74515096c05d18053d2c2d65 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Determinants of behavioral intentions of ‘Generation-Y’adoption and use of computer-mediated communication tools in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Acheampong, Li Zhiwen, Frank Boateng, Adelaide Brenya Boadu, Anthony Akai Acheampong Description An account of the resource The ubiquitous nature of information and communication technology can be a very reliable conduit that enables people to share and deliver messages even when they are geographically unbounded. Today, the unbounded nature of the internet has facilitated computer-mediated communication. The emergence of mediated communication tools such as QQ, Wechat, Whatsapp etc have eventually drifted the attention of a whole generation from making phone calls to text messaging. We sampled 1823 students from 15 tertiary institutions across the ten regions of Ghana to answer a question designed on the UTAUT 2 model. Our objective was to determine the distinctive factors influencing the adoption and use of these computermediated communication tools among this category of respondents and the presence of intervening mechanism with their identifiable effects. We noted that the odds ratio of 1.751 and a confidence interval of 95%, suggest that females were more likely to use computer mediated communication tools than their male counterparts at a confidence interval of 95%(Sig= 0.002). Similarly, the age group (18-25 years) were 0.726 more likely to use computer mediated communication tools than elderly ones and this was statistically significant at 95% confidence interval (p-value= 0.000). Similar significant values were recorded for all the items of UTAUT 2 and perceived convenience.

Title A name given to the resource Examining the intervening role of age and gender on mobile payment acceptance in Ghana: UTAUT model Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Acheampong, Li Zhiwen, Kamal Kant Hiran, Obobisa Emma Serwaa, Frank Boateng, Isaac Asare Bediako Description An account of the resource The internet is by far one of the novel technologies that has shaped and supported all human endeavors. The phenomenal growth of the internet has been the backbone to the development of other cutting-edge technologies of which mobile payment is not an exception. The emergence of wireless technology and smartphones has brought to consumers an extraordinary way of carrying out day-to-day activities. These mobile and smartphones technology have become the driving force of many businesses today. Mobile payment provides ubiquity and offers a very convenient way for consumers to conduct transactions anytime and anywhere over wireless telecommunications networks. The sole intention of this study was to examine the moderating effects of age and gender on electronic payment based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) theoretical model. Using a sample of 1098 respondents, we collected and analysed the data by employing regression. The results confirm that “performance expectancy”, effort expectancy for male respondents were higher than the mean for female respondents while the mean score of the variable for social influence for female is higher than the male respondents. On the other hand, the findings statistically concluded that the moderating effect of age was significant.
