Title A name given to the resource An Exploratory Assessment of Indirect Tax Contribution by Oil and Gas Companies in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kwarteng Opoku Description An account of the resource In the context of this development, value added tax (VAT) and goods and services tax (GST) rates keep on increasing, the scope of taxes are also expanding at the same time. Governments have put in more effort to increase its revenues so as to reduce deficits, but without endangering the fragile of economic growth or the competitiveness of the local economy. Based on this concept, increasing indirect taxes is deemed to be more suitable, instead of increasing direct taxes like the corporate taxes. In the United States of America for instance, several of the states are extending their scope of their general taxes consumptions. Ghana was among a host of developing countries that experienced fiscal crises in the 1970s and 1980s. These fiscal imbalances led to undesirable impacts on domestic prices, interest rates and balance of payments. The fiscal imbalances also led to differing policy instruments for accelerating growth. There are a number of policy instruments that can be used to accelerate growth. The government of Ghana heavily rely on indirect taxes to boost revenues. For instance, the customs duties and the local excise tax illustrates a much higher percentage of overall tax revenue in the country. Due to the proliferation of the trade agreement and the increasing importance of the oil marketing companies in the country, the consumptions taxes like the VAT and the GST among the oil marketing companies represent a significant portion of government revenue. These challenges do not facilitate an effective tax collection within the sector, hence there is the need for an effective exploratory of indirect tax contribution by these oil and gas companies in Ghana. The researcher opted for the use of the tax payment sheet of these Oil marketing Company and Bulk Distribution Companies. This was however gathered from the Customs Division at the Tema Oil Refinery. The analysis revealed that the respondents were of the view that the tax system was robust in achieving yearly increase in government share of oil revenue, adequate in tax incentives packages necessary for the attraction of foreign direct investments, and sound in terms of international competitiveness. The finding on VAT with one period lag of one suggests some caution on the part of the government to identify all administrative loopholes for leakages to plug and to continue to maximize the contribution of VAT revenue to economic growth.

Title A name given to the resource An Exploratory Study of Critical Success Factors of Selected Ghanaian Entrepreneurs. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Kwabena Agyenim-Boateng Description An account of the resource The importance of entrepreneurship globally, cannot be underestimated considering their critical role in the socio-economic development and growth of the world economy. Entrepreneurs empower people through the creation of employment and wealth to liberate them from poverty, homelessness, and its associated challenges. While one group of entrepreneurs are expanding their territories opening new companies, the second group of entrepreneurs are battling collapsing businesses. This study intended to research the elements that constitute and contribute to the apparent success of the Successful Indigenous Entrepreneurs (SIEs). A qualitative phenomenological exploratory approach and purposive sampling technique were adopted for the study. Face-To-Face in-depth interviews were conducted to document the narratives and lived experiences of the participants. In the researchers’ quest to present a holistic report of the lived experiences of the Indigenous Successful Entrepreneurs, interviews and observation of the participants were corroborated and augmented with other documentary evidence from internet, print media, books, and pamphlets. A thematic analysis of the data was conducted using word Nvivo 11 pro. The emerging themes were focusing on their business dreams, ploughing back profit into the business, starting from where they have work experience or know-how, having an entrepreneurial mindset, being a hard-working person, resilient, and above all being Godfearing. Studies about Indigenous Entrepreneurs are still at its infantile phases; further research is recommended to look at, comparing the critical success factors of indigenous entrepreneurs and their foreign counterparts operating in Ghana, focusing on the similarities and their differences. Insightful lessons from the life experiences present pictorial a harmony of the phenomenon.

Title A name given to the resource An innovative technique for analyzing network performance and congestion in a hybrid network topology Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Nabare Williams Kwame, Emmanuel Freeman, Michael Asante Description An account of the resource The need for an effective network for business operation have been the driving force for most institutes globally. It is however noted that most networks face different levels of poor performance. An aspect is network congestion that hinders the smooth flow of data or information anticipated by users of a network. The ability to predict the quality of experience in our network performance to avoid congestion so as to render quality services to a client is very paramount. This paper investigates an innovative approach to analyze the performance of a network using an appropriate techniques. The methodology used a simulation tool IxChariot version 7.10 SP4 simulator for this study which allowed for the emulation of key performance metrics, such as throughput, packet loss, jitter, delay etc. within a hybrid network topology of 35 nodes. The congestion that occurred leading to packet loss during the test run was curtailed by … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available IEEE 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=rQvaaoMAAAAJ&citation_for_view=rQvaaoMAAAAJ:IjCSPb-OGe4C Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/3da1618327a1f592898c0b46d42a2b42.pdf 10e02664a75c8bc969a1d018eb8b8a50 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 An interrogation of the dialogic potential of insurance firm websites in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource This paper examines the dialogic potential of insurance firms’ websites in Ghana. Research was executed via a content analysis of insurance companies’ websites in Ghana using Kent and Taylor’s (1998) dialogic framework. Insurance companies in Ghana have been fairly successful in utilizing the dialogic features in their corporate websites. Out of the five dialogic principles proposed by Kent and Taylor (1998); the findings of the study show a preponderant use of the dialogic loop feature by the sampled insurance companies. Also comparing local and international companies, the local insurance companies seem rather more dialogic than the international companies. However the sampled insurance companies performed rather poorly on the principle of return visit and conservation of visitors. This study contributes to the scarce literature on dialogic potential of websites from a developing country context.
