Title A name given to the resource Examining self-disclosure on social networking sites: A flow theory and privacy perspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong, Aseda Mensah, Adolph Sedem Yaw Adu, John Agyekum Addae, Osaretin Kayode Omoregie, Kwame Simpe Ofori Description An account of the resource Social media and other web 2.0 tools have provided users with the platform to interact with and also disclose personal information to not only their friends and acquaintances but also relative strangers with unprecedented ease. This has enhanced the ability of people to share more about themselves, their families, and their friends through a variety of media including text, photo, and video, thus developing and sustaining social and business relationships. The purpose of the paper is to identify the factors that predict self-disclosure on social networking sites from the perspective of privacy and flow. Data was collected from 452 students in three leading universities in Ghana and analyzed with Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling. Results from the study revealed that privacy risk was the most significant predictor. We also found privacy awareness, privacy concerns, and privacy invasion experience to be significant predictors of self-disclosure. Interaction and perceived control were found to have significant effect on self-disclosure. In all, the model accounted for 54.6 percent of the variance in self-disclosure. The implications and limitations of the current study are discussed, and directions for future research proposed.

Title A name given to the resource Microstructure and mechanical properties related to particle size distribution and composition in dark chocolate Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, Alistair Paterson, Mark Fowler, Joselio Vieira Description An account of the resource Composition in dark chocolate was varied and the effects determined on microstructure, using light microscopy, and mechanical properties of molten and tempered chocolates, using a TA.HD Plus Texture Analyser. Compositional parameters were particle size distribution (PSD) (D90 of 18, 25, 35 and 50 μm), fat (25%, 30% and 35%) and lecithin (0.3% and 0.5%) contents. Micrographs revealed wide variations in sugar crystalline network structure and inter-particle interaction strengths related to PSD and fat level. Samples containing 25% fat had more crystal agglomerates, well flocculated with greater particle-to-particle interaction strengths than those with higher (30% and 35%) fat contents. Increasing the D90 to 35–50 μm caused broadening of the PSD, with particles becoming coarser, which were similar at all fat levels. Mechanical analysis showed that PSD, fat and lecithin content significantly influenced … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Oxford University Press Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2009 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://academic.oup.com/ijfst/article/44/1/111/7864804 Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/e83e5f2895011fcfce5236ca0576de00.pdf b023b97336e146451e1f09c59a219049 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 Managing market innovation for competitive advantage: how external dynamics hold sway for financial services Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource : From the complexity theory, it is argued that external factors largely determine the effectiveness of firm-level strategies. Hence, firms must seek to align their strategies such as market innovation with the prevailing business environment to achieve competitive advantage. We investigate the moderating effect of three environmental factors, regulatory regime, competitive intensity and customer demand on the relationship between innovation and competitive advantage creation in financial services firms. Data were collected from the Ghana’s financial services sector with a focus on banking and insurance institutions. Constructs were validated through confirmatory factor analysis while robust regressions estimates were run to test their hypothesised relationships. We found that both competitive intensity and regulatory regime positively increase the effect of market innovation on competitive advantage. It was also found that the interaction between competitive intensity and regulatory regime has a positive effect while the interaction between customer demand and regulatory regime dampens the positive relationship Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available 200X Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

Title A name given to the resource Liminal Spaces: Changing Inter-Generational Relations among Long-Term Liberian Refugees in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Hampshire Kate, Porter Gina, Kilpatrick Kate, Kyei Peter, Adjaloo Michael, George Ampong Description An account of the resource This paper reports on changing inter-generational relations among long-term Liberian refugees in the Buduburam settlement camp in Ghana. Four months of fieldwork were conducted in the settlement, using a range of qualitative methods to elicit emic understandings of the nature and causes of changes in inter-generational relations: focus groups, individual interviews, participant observation, and diary-keeping by refugees. Various aspects of the refugee experience, in particular the strategies used by young people to cope with long-term livelihood insecurity, are seen by camp inhabitants to have led to a reconfiguration of relationships between older and younger people and even to the blurring of generational categories. There is a powerful discourse linking economic impotence of older people with the erosion of inter-generational relations of authority and deference. This is seen to have encouraged both a … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Society of Applied Anthropology Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2008 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=NogL9W0AAAAJ&citation_for_view=NogL9W0AAAAJ:WF5omc3nYNoC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/cd58c38082c6d32973b4e643c362dd1e.pdf 28c763c7c645a718dd62a53e3c499211 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 Enhancing export intensity of entrepreneurial firms through bricolage and international opportunity recognition: The differential roles of explorative and exploitative learning Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Francis Donbesuur, Diana Owusu-Yirenkyi, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong, Magnus Hultman Description An account of the resource This study proposes and tests a framework relating to the effect of entrepreneurial bricolage on international opportunity recognition (IOR) and the influence of the latter on export intensity. Survey data from 193 export-oriented entrepreneurial firms operating in Ghana indicates that entrepreneurial bricolage has an inverted U-shaped relationship with IOR – and that IOR has a positive effect on export intensity. A further analysis reveals that explorative learning enhances the inverted U-shaped relationship between bricolage and IOR, while exploitative learning improves the IOR–export intensity relationship. Our findings present important implications for international entrepreneurship research and the management of export-oriented entrepreneurial firms in developing economies.

Title A name given to the resource Board, gender diversity and firm performance Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Eric Atta Appiadjei, George Oppong Ampong, Fredrick Nsiah Description An account of the resource The article examined Board Gender Diversity and Firm Performance. Covering the 34 listed companies on the Ghana’s capital market over the period 2010 to 2014. It observed that women are poorly represented on the corporate boards of listed firms in Ghana. Highest female board representation was the financial services industry with 16%. Trading, Pharmaceutics and IT industries appointed only 1% female to boards, Automobile industry had none. Age and female board representation relationship depicts a trigonometric function in nature, younger firms tend to appoint more women than firms established forty years ago. Age of listing and female board representation depicts quadratic function in nature, as firms initially enters capital market, female board representation increased and falls overtime. Local firms appointed 38%, whiles multinationals appointed 62% female boards. Multinationals appointed more women to boards in Ghana. Regression analyses observed that, a unit increase in the ratio of women on a firm’s board, return on equity increased proportionately by 21.6. Additionally, a unit increase in female board ratio, net profit margin increased proportionately by 18.2.
