Title A name given to the resource Catalysts for Social Media Adoption in the Public Sector in Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource This chapter aims to provide an understanding of the factors that serve as catalysts for social media adoption by public sector firms in Africa. Using the Technology Organisation Environment (TOE) framework, this chapter explains how social media technology is adopted and used by public sector organisations in Africa. Social media adoption is an organisational context, and hence the TOE can best be used to understand the factors affecting the adoption of the technology. On the technological factors, African countries have the capability to fully use their technological capabilities to introduce all social media platforms. The crucial issue of concern is that public sector organisations must see social media as having potential benefits to promote communications. The external environmental factors involving pressure from government and citizens for public sector organisations to use social media is mainly due to the increasing use of the technology by citizens across Africa. In most African countries, governments have policies in place to take advantage of the enormous benefits of social media. This chapter argues that several organisational factors, including top management support, resource availability, and skilled human resource to sustain social media technologies are significant tonic factors that catalyse the adoption of social media by Africa’s public sector.

This study aimed to analyse the causal and contributory factors of accidents within Ghanaian gold mines. 701 accident investigation reports were collected from 7 large-scale mine sites. The reports were classified and coded using the human factor analysis and classification system adopted for the Ghana mining industry to identify the causes of accidents, taking into account the severity levels of the accidents. Unlike previous studies that focused mostly on high-consequence accidents, this study considered accidents of different severities to determine if associations exist between the severity levels and the causal factors. The results revealed that the majority of the causes of accidents were at the workplace/operator conditions tier. Specifically, leadership flaws were associated with accidents of high … 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 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=4--inMwAAAAJ&amp;citation_for_view=4--inMwAAAAJ:YsMSGLbcyi4C Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/9cd0b5e38b01b8bb7afdc0dd88131586.pdf 16e7d9df52ed779bc1a038a4677e1382 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 Causes of Project Delays and Cost Overrun In Ghana Civil Construction Industry: (Case Study of Queiroz Galvao Construction) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Solomon Dawutey Description An account of the resource Civil Engineering construction has gone through a lot of generational phases. Many countries and organisations have adopted different methodologies for ensuring safe, affordable and successful construction projects. The definition of construction project success has also evolved with time. Construction projects now place emphasis on stake holders’ requirements rather than completing a state of the art edifice. Environmental concerns have now become an uncompromising factor in determining the success of a civil construction project. Projects that are duly executed must meet design specification, pass environmental impact assessment, be within budget, be completed within time, meet all safety standards and serve the stakeholder’s purpose. All these stakeholder’s expectations have made civil engineering construction more complex, complicated and robust. Project managers are faced with diverse challenges in the quest of fully satisfying the needs of stakeholders. Project managers encounter both Constructional and Non-Constructional challenges. Non-Constructional challenges include legal issues, socio-political pressures and government interference. All these challenges if not controlled, deflected or mitigated will substantially increase the cost of the project and also result in project delays. The main purpose of project management is to achieve objectives and goals through the planned allocation of resources that meet project cost, quality, time safety and scope requirements. This thesis seeks to research into causes of project delays and expenditure cost overrun in Ghana construction industry. The writing will also cover practical strategic project management approaches to mitigating these challenges. Though this work addresses civil engineering construction by all construction companies, emphasis will be placed on multinational companies working in Ghana. This research work employs the use of questionnaires and interviews in its methodology. Data collected is then analyzed to interpret problem trends. Procedures and practical remedies to identified challenges is also analyzed to know their effects on other projects. Data was collected from 80 individuals spread across the three categories of respondents namely clients, contractors and consultants. However, out of the 80 respondents interviewed, 75 responses were deemed valid for analysis. The findings identified the factors responsible for project delays and cost overrun of multinational companies in Ghana construction industry. The findings also identified solutions to the causes of these delays and cost overrun.
