Title A name given to the resource Enhancing service firm performance through customer involvement capability and innovativeness Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource Purpose – Because of the paucity of empirical research on firm-level capabilities of firms for effective customer involvement, the purpose of this study is to evaluate service firms’ capacity to coopt customers to enhance the innovativeness and firm performance relationship. This study conceptualizes involvement capabilities of service firms as a strategic driver that exploits their internal firm assets, which in turn facilitates the positive relationship between innovativeness and firm performance. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from 344 managers of service firms across different sub-sectors in an emerging economy. The study first confirmed the constructs through confirmatory factor analysis before analyzing hypothesized relationships. Regression models were specified with robust standard errors to test the hypothesized relationships. Findings – The study found that involvement capability of service firms helps them to exploit their relational assets and create and manage strong customer participation. Additionally, it was found that involvement capabilities enable service firms to capitalize on the competencies of customers, which in turn improves the outcomes of their innovativeness. The results showed that the interaction between involvement capability and innovativeness enhances firm performance significantly. Practical implications – Service firms can enhance customer participation in the value creation process by increasing their involvement capabilities. The increase in such capabilities will enhance the innovativeness of service firms, thereby improving their financial and non-financial performance. Originality/value – This study offers guidance on how a firm’s innovativeness and customer involvement work together within the service operation to enhance firm performance.

Title A name given to the resource Digitize or Perish: Strategies for improving access to indigenous intellectual resources in Sub-Saharan Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka Description An account of the resource In today's knowledge and technology driven society, most scholarly information is increasingly being produced and distributed in digital formats. Yet, in Sub-Saharan Africa, academic libraries have been very slow at joining this digital movement, and hence stand the risk of losing their relevance, particularly with regard to locally generated intellectual material. To better serve the knowledge and information seeking needs of their patrons, librarians need to reinvent services. The challenges are discussed as well as prescriptions of workable strategies that librarians, information scientists, and other stakeholders can adopt to overcome these barriers. Such strategies mostly involve appropriately leveraging the existing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools and resources to make library resources more accessible.

Title A name given to the resource Application of response surface methodology for studying the quality characteristics of cowpea-fortified nixtamalized maize Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Samuel Sefa-Dedeh, Beatrice Cornelius, Esther Sakyi-Dawson, Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa Description An account of the resource Studies were conducted on the chemical and functional properties of fermented cowpea-fortified nixtamalized maize using response surface methodology. The central composite rotatable design for K=3 was used to study the combined effect of lime concentration (0–1%), moisture content (55–65%) and cowpea level (0–30%) on pH, titratable acidity, water absorption, protein and viscosity of fermented nixtamalized maize. Regression models were developed to predict the variables. The presence of lime and cowpea influenced the pH, titratable acidity, water absorption, protein content and the cooked paste viscosity of the fermented cowpea-fortified maize. The presence of lime during fermentation generally decreased titratable acidity, water absorption and cooked paste viscosity while the addition of cowpea increased most of the studied indices. Cowpea fortification can therefore be used to increase the nutritive … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Elsevier Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2003 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=EZuX1N8AAAAJ&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=EZuX1N8AAAAJ:YsMSGLbcyi4C Language A language of the resource English 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 Strategies for teaching online courses within the Sub-Saharan African context: An instructor's recommendations Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Asunka, Hui Soo Chae Description An account of the resource To understand better the challenges of implementing online learning in developing countries, the authors studied two consecutive iterations of an online course at a private university in Ghana during the in 2007-2008 academic year. Study participants were undergraduate pre-service teachers, and the course-Pedagogical Aspects of ICT-which hitherto had been delivered as a classroom-based lecture, was redesigned and delivered online by the instructors who also served as the researchers. This served the dual purpose of introducing the students to collaborative online learning, and providing the setting for this empirical study. Working within Africa's peculiar context of limited and unreliable technology infrastructure, and with students who preferred the traditional instructor-led approach to student-centered self-directed learning, several issues and challenges came to light. The lessons learnt, instructional strategies adopted, as well as the perspectives that the students shared in their formative and summative evaluations of the course, form the basis of a set of recommendations outlined in this paper. These recommendations therefore mainly relate to strategies that may be relevant to instructors who wish to foster young students' engagement and participation in learner-centered collaborative online learning activities within the context of limited technology infrastructure as pertains in most parts of Sub-Saharan Africa.

Title A name given to the resource Functionality of cocoa butter equivalents in chocolate products Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Nathalie De Clercq, Sheida Kadivar, Davy Van de Walle, Sara De Pelsmaeker, Xavier Ghellynck, Koen Dewettinck Description An account of the resource Although cocoa butter (CB) is an ideal fat for the use in chocolate, limited supply, high demand and fluctuating prices lead the industry to look for alternatives. In the present study, physicochemical properties of commercially available cocoa butter equivalents (CBE) and hard palm mid fraction (PMF) are compared with those of CB. Subsequently, their functionality in real and compound chocolate was evaluated. CBE and PMF contained a comparable (12.0–13.8 %) but significant lower amount of POSt compared to CB (38.7 %). Differences in nonisothermal crystallization and melting profile were observed between CB and CBE. The two-step isothermal crystallization at 20 °C showed that the nucleation started earlier as the StOSt content increased. No significant differences were observed in melting behavior between the reference chocolate (ChocREF) and the chocolates with partial replacement.

A 2×2×3×4 factorial experiment, with cultivar, storage condition, treatment and storage time as their respective variables, was done. Samples were analysed for moisture, starch, reducing sugars, alcohol-soluble sugars, acid and neutral detergent fibre, cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The Warner–Bratzler test cell was used in a TA.XT2 Texture Analyser to measure the hardness of cooked tubers. The moisture and starch contents of the tubers decreased from 77.8 to 70.4% and 70.5 to 66.5 g/100g, respectively in a period of 72 h of storage, suggesting rapid dehydration after harvest and breakdown of starch.
