Title A name given to the resource Assessing the Role of Financial Inclusion on Poverty Reduction in Ghana; Empirical Evidence from Ahafo Ano North District. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Edward Adofo-Bosompem Description An account of the resource Universal access to financial services is a critical component which drives development since it includes the vulnerable such as low-income household in the society to participate in the governance of the country (Iqbal and Sami, 2017). When people get access to financial services, it transforms their production through investment which eliminates them from poverty. Studies have propounded that the basic activity of the financial service sector is to make credit available to its customers. In this way, customers can increase their economic activities (Iqbal and Sami, 2017). Other evidence has confirmed that there is no country which has succeeded in reducing poverty without the expansion of financial accessibility to its rural populace (Rewilak, 2017). When the rural poor have access to finance, they achieve a large increase in production of various primary activities such as agriculture and this enables them to produce surpluses in food, labour and even financial resources which are the basic necessity of a country’s industrialisation and urbanisation (Villarreal, 2017). However, within the short and medium terms, making finance available has its own adverse impact on the rural populace hence it is important that various measures are put in place to overcome these barriers so that the long-term convergence of productivity among the different sectors of the economy could be realised (Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas, 2015). When this is done, the expectation is a broad spectrum of opportunities which might arise from this progressive change and a renewed mindset of the people to take up challenges.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing the roles of foreign knowledge acquisition and absorptive capacity in the relationship between market orientation, innovativeness and performance Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource The effects of market orientation (MO) have received much attention from researchers (Ozkaya et al., 2015). Narver and Slater (1990) identified three dimensions of MO: customer orientation (CuO), competitor orientation (CoO) and inter-functional coordination. In particular, studies have shown that good customer knowledge management can create a valuable competitive advantage for firms (Garcia-Murillo and Annabi, 2002). According to the need for firms to manage customer knowledge to drive performance, we therefore focus on the customer and CoOs, both of which focus on the firm’s external information-gathering activities (Narver and Slater, 1990; Ozkaya et al., 2015). However, although gathering and sharing customer knowledge is important, employees must apply this knowledge to effect a transformation in the firm (Ozkaya et al., 2015). Therefore, alongside customer knowledge – i.e. knowledge about, for and from customers – the present study also examines employee absorptive capacity (AC). Knowledge has been recognized as a vital resource that can be managed to increase a firm’s competitive advantage and innovation and improve its performance. The value of the acquisition and sharing of knowledge on customers and competitors across the functional units of an organization is fundamental to MO theory. MO has been found to affect business performance in varied environments (Kohli et al., 1993; Narver and Slater, 1990). Nonetheless, despite an increased research interest in knowledge management, MO, innovation and performance, their interrelationships are not well understood in the literature (Migdadi et al., 2017). Recent literature has demonstrated the importance of foreign knowledge acquisition for firm performance (Elhachemi, 2022; Rakthin et al., 2016). These studies suggest that AC can influence the relationship between external knowledge acquisition and a firm’s innovativeness and performance, but they have examined the AC of market knowledge only in relation to foreign partners and not to knowledge of customers and competitors (Elhachemi, 2022). Rakthin et al. (2016) investigated the mediation of customer acquisition and retention in the effects of AC on firm performance but did not consider competitor intelligence in the knowledge acquisition and dissemination process. There is thus inadequate evidence in the literature for understanding the relationship between foreign knowledge acquisition, AC and firm performance. The present study addresses these gaps in the literature by examining the effect of MO (measured as customer and CoO) on foreign business knowledge (FBK) acquisition and then on firm innovativeness and performance. For this purpose, it determines the effect of MO on firm innovativeness and performance and tests the moderating role of AC in the link between FBK acquisition, firm innovativeness and performance. To address these objectives, we collected data from enterprises in Ghana that export their products to foreign markets. Knowledge acquisition from foreign markets has benefitted SMEs in a range of developing economies, such as China (Lin et al., 2020), Ghana (Sarsah et al., 2020) and Algeria (Elhachemi, 2022). However, studies on the impact of the acquired knowledge have been inadequate. Similarly, the effect of MO on the performance of Ghanaian firms has been rarely studied. Our study thus contributes to researchers’ and practitioners’ understandings of how MO drives foreign knowledge acquisition by firms and the consequent effects on their performance and innovativeness. The remainder of the paper provides the theoretical background, hypotheses development, methodology and results of the present study, before providing a discussion including limitations and recommendations for future studies.

Title A name given to the resource Assessment of Inadequate Risk Management in Building Projects Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Grace Adwo Archer Description An account of the resource Building projects are usually multifaceted and highly diverse to deal with, in comparison to projects done in the previous years, current projects are more time restricting, giving rise to immense technical challenges, and rarely gives the impression to have enough resources. All of this leads to increased project risk; this runs through most projects because every building project involves risks. The management within the building industry requires reliant approach to information and knowledge in order to manage risks in an adequate and organized method of action. Thus, the implementation of an effective risk management in relation to managing associated project risk knowledge may expedite successful building / construction project endeavors. The aim of this study is to develop an understanding of issues pertaining to managing risks in building projects as well as approaches for efficient and effective management of risks in projects within the building industry. This was carried out by providing background specification on risk management, it outlines the aims and objectives, the purpose of study and touches on ethical considerations. This paper tends to review the existing comprehensive (work of literature) and presenting how this study is distinguished from the others. Alongside, a number of theoretical concepts and views of experts and researchers with respect to the subject area and their input to the existing literature. It additionally, provides the methodological framework and includes strategies adopted in obtaining data, how achievable and well argued it was, to help in providing data analysis. This study finally highlights the analysis, findings and discussion of results derived from the data gathered. It provides an accurate presentation of data with a clever interpretation of results, and as a final point, summarizes the dissertation, by stating the outcome of the surveys as well as providing recommendations and references for future research guidelines on project risks within the range of the building / construction industry.
