Title A name given to the resource An exploratory examination of the relationship between business-to-business e-commerce adoption and competitive advantage of small and medium-sized enterprises. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Chosniel Elikem Ocloo, X Hu, Stephen Owusu Afriyie, HA Antwi, Isaac Mensah Adjei Description An account of the resource Business to Business Electronic Commerce (B2B EC) adoption has been growing at a quicker pace in recent times and it has become one of the critical ways to help small and medium-sized enterprises to gain and sustain competitive advantage. A firm’s resource capabilities and endowments influence the different levels of B2B EC adoption that leads to competitive advantage gain and sustained in proportion to that level of adoption. The purpose of this research is to offer an exploratory analysis into the relationship between B2B EC adoption and competitive advantage. A survey of 315 responses was received from managers and owners of manufacturing SMEs in Ghana. A canonical correlation analysis is used to explore this relationship. The results support the view that there is a positive relationship between B2B EC adoption levels and competitive advantage.

Title A name given to the resource An Empirical Examination of the Impact of Corporate Governance on Organizational Performance: Evidence from Ghana Healthcare Industry Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource STEPHEN OWUSU AFRIYIE Description An account of the resource Corporate governance establishes a structure for evaluating organizational activities so that actions or work processes can be measured in a more formal and transparent manner, so that real situational reasoning can also be drawn. At the same time, corporate governance is also a means to implement these organizational principles and monitor performance through an effective board of directors. High-quality corporate governance has now become a common concern in the business community. In the past decade, "good corporate governance" has been incorporated into the healthcare industry as a factor to improve performance. The primary goal of sound corporate governance is to improve corporate performance, enhance institutional accountability, and avoid major disasters. This study uses the Ghanaian health industry as a case study to study the impact of corporate governance on organizational performance. The researcher focused on Ghana because it is the only country in Africa that has consistently implemented a universal health insurance policy since 2004. After designing a descriptive research plan, the researcher conducted a set of designed pre-coded questionnaires to 1,500 respondents in 10 regional (provincial) hospitals across the country. The primary data used in the study came from the financial statements, board documents, and other statistical information of the Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service. Multiple regression, logistic regression, and structural equation modeling methods were used to analyze the impact of corporate governance on organizational performance. The impact of corporate governance on organizational performance was predicted using primary and secondary data. The empirical investigation provided in this study shows that there is a positive relationship between corporate governance and performance. Since corporate governance provides a structure to confirm the goals and objectives of an organization, it is important for institutions to focus on good corporate practices that are effective in achieving improved performance. Nonetheless, the key to governance lies in the application of a reliable and achievable integrated governance system that drives the achievement of the set goals. Corporate governance encompasses the management of all the resources of an organization, which should be considered as limited, and accountability becomes the epitome of corporate governance. These resources can be financial, human, natural, social or environmental resources that make the organization sustainable in a competitive market. Achieving good corporate governance helps companies implement sustainability strategies throughout the business processes, managing goal setting and reporting. This stipulates that corporate governance maintains a culture where good relationships among stakeholders contribute optimistically to the goals of the organization. In light of this, this study aims to measure and evaluate the proposed corporate governance practices adopted by health institutions. The researcher investigated whether the corporate governance practices of different hospitals … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Jiangsu University 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=TbSlw38AAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=TbSlw38AAAAJ:2osOgNQ5qMEC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/c147be0f535876f538cf2adae9efe6cf.pdf 05f9598ca6f2b27ea0f177caaba86b10 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 Analysis of Personality Related Corporate Governance Factors and Performance of Ghana Club 100 Companies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Obeng Danso, Yusheng Kong, Michael Owusu Akomeah, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource The extant literature shows that when the CEO of a firm is the same as the chairman of the board of directors it is more likely to affect independence of the board and the management of the establishment. For this reason business organization ensure independence of the two persons in order to reduce the propensity for conflict of interest in the organization. The objective of this study is to establish the veracity in the claim that personality related factors of corporate governance exert significant influence on performance of forms. Hypothesis 1 is accepted because the analysis shows that CEO Duality has a negative influence on return on asset hence performance of firm. Similarly hypothesis 1b is also affirmed considering that a unit increase in CEO Succession also negatively influences the performance of firms in terms of their return on assets. The influence of board gender composition on the return on assets or firm performance as postulated in hypothesis 1c has also been affirmed by the positive and statistically significant relationships analysed in this study. The findings of this research do not support the influence of board educational level and board experience as a significant factor in stimulating the performance of firms. This is because both results returned ap value less than 0.05 at 95% confidence interval.

Title A name given to the resource Ghana in the New Millennium Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource CLETUS K MBOWURA, FELIX TY LONGI, AWAISU I BRAIMAH, BERNICE OTENG, FAUSTINA E GANAA Description An account of the resource There are worries concerning the effects of the conflicts on national and sub-regional security and stability (Aapengnuo, 1996), especially with reference to economic growth and development. Aapengnuo (1996) observed that almost seventy percent (70%) of the inhabitants live below the national poverty line, compared to the national average of 27%. Since the 1980s the dark cloud of the notorious “northern conflicts” has been a public issue. It reached its peak in the Dagomba-Konkomba conflict during the early part of 1994 (Kombat, 2008). The Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo District was also engulfed in inter-ethnic conflicts in 1985. The conflict began when Bimoba (Moab) and Komba (a section of Konkombas) clashed at the Bimbagu Market. Described by the media as “The Mango Conflict,” the Bimoba-Komba conflict occasioned widespread killings and immeasurable burning of houses (Kombat, 2008).

Title A name given to the resource Environmental Constraints of Corporate Governance: Evidence in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Obeng Danso, Yusheng Kong, Michael Owusu Akomeah, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource The pertinence of corporate governance doctrines in the management of corporate organisations cannot be overlooked (underestimated). The increasing influence of principles of corporate governance around the world has been greatly linked to the recent corporate frauds and scandals. These frauds and scandals are largely the outcome from the failure of authorities of countries to effectively implement the legal and regulatory frameworks pertaining to corporate governance. Ghana is archetypal in regards to the failure of authorities to enforce the laws and regulations in relation to corporate governance. During the enforcement of the laws and regulations of corporate governance, some vitally important issues are either overlooked or deliberately deserted. This paper attempts to examine the legal and regulatory framework of Ghana in respect of corporate governance and points out the importance of conforming to good corporate governance. It also accentuates prevailing issues of corporate governance practice in Ghana. It finally makes some recommendations, which are considered the major contribution of this paper.

Title A name given to the resource Peace Operations in Northern Ghana: A Comparative Analysis of State-Sponsored Peace Operations in the Dagbon, Konkomba-Nanumba and Nawuri-Gonja Conflicts in the Northern Region of Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura Description An account of the resource It is axiomatic that state-sponsored peace operations are conducted in Ghana aimed at combating conflicts. In the Dagbon intra-ethnic conflict and theNawuri-Gonja and KonkombaNanumbainter-ethnic conflicts in present-day Northern Region of Ghana, state-sponsored peace operations were marshalled to either prevent the outbreak of conflicts, de-escalate tensions or combat the conflicts to ensure law and order. Some of the security measures rolled out as part of the peace operations in these conflicts included strategies such as a combined military-police patrols, mounting checkpoints to prevent the inflow of arms, the imposition of state of emergency, increasing security presence in the volatile areas, among others. This paper explores the security arrangements in the peace operations in theDagbon, Konkomba-Nanumba and Nawuri-Gonja conflicts in the Northern Region of Ghana. Blending written and unwritten data together in an orthodox historical tradition, this study argues that the measures were not entirely successful.

Title A name given to the resource The Gods, Spirits and Magical Powers at War: Reflections on the Psychological Dimension of the Nawuri-Gonja Conflict, Northern Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Awaisu Inurana Braimah, Anasechor Orlapu Description An account of the resource In 1991 and 1992, the Nawuri and the Gonja clashed over allodial rights in lands in the Nawuri area of the present-day Kpandai District in the Northern Region of Ghana. The conflict was cataclysmic, and throughout its conduct, there were psychological dimensions. In all the events before the conflict and throughout the phases of the conflict, metaphysical and superstitious resources were utilized and became the fulcrum in the conduct of the conflict. As the conflict occurred in the part of Ghana where superstition and belief in spiritual powers was an integral part of people’s psychology, the Nawuri and the Gonja naturally provided space for the gods, spirits, and magical powers in the conduct of the conflict. With an ingrained philosophy that empiricism is controlled by metaphysical forces, the Nawuri and the Gonja mixed superstition in every aspect of the conflict. This paper examined the extent to which superstitious beliefs played a catalytical psychological role in the Nawuri-Gonja conflict. It analyzed the space provided for spiritual forces–the gods, spirits, and magical powers–and the extent to which these psychological factors determined the course of the conflict. The paper argued that it is impossible to reconstruct a cogent narrative of the conflict–both in terms of its conduct and the scale–without recourse to the psychological factors.

Title A name given to the resource Political Economy of Peace: Theoretical and Conceptual Perspectives, and Implications for Ghana's Peace Architecture Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gbensuglo Alidu Bukari, Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Anasenchor Orlapu, Shanunu Zackaria Description An account of the resource The paper contributes to the burgeoning argument that there exists a relationship between peace and development, and that this relationship is relevant for both political and economic governance. The pursuit of stability, peace, and security is paramount for sovereign states as they are foundational for a nation's well-being, development, and the prosperity of its citizens. Political economy of peace examines the intricate connections between economic and political factors and institutions, and the attainment of these essential objectives. Building on this conceptualisation, authors problematised peace, and hypothesised that there exists a relationship between peace, economy and politics. The paper examined this phenomenon, drawing on theoretical, conceptual and empirical perspectives. Employing exploratory study design, the paper combined in-depth interviews involving 10 participants with secondary data for the analysis. The analysis revealed that peace has become a major concern due to economic, political and ethical dilemmas in most sovereignty states, and that peace is a function of economic and political considerations.

Title A name given to the resource Socioeconomic Analysis of Improper Solid Waste Disposal in Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource SAMUEL OSEI Afriyie Description An account of the resource solid waste disposal methods by most Ghanaians has necessitated several interventions of which the polluter pays principle is key. However, its implementation has not yielded the desired results yet, since the exploration of the main factors underlying the use of improper solid waste disposal (SWD) methods as well as the decision to pay for SWD has not been exhaustive. This thesis therefore seeks to analyze the socioeconomic determinants of improper SWD methods and the decision to pay for SWD in Ghana. In view of this, the seventh round of the Ghana Living Standards Survey was used as the data source for the thesis employing the utility theory framework. Results from the logistic regression showed that, the choice of improper SWD methods is significantly influenced by the gender, age and level of education of a household head, as well as the geographical location, wealth status, type of dwelling and the occupancy status of a household. Renting and rent-free occupants were found to be 8% and 6.4% less likely to adopt improper SWD methods as compared to owner occupant households. With respect to the decision to pay for SWD, the gender, age and level of education of a household head, the geographical location, size, wealth status, type of dwelling and the occupancy status of a household were the significant determinants Evidently, there is a 30.2% likelihood for residents of urban areas to pay for SWD relative to those in the rural areas.. In light of the findings, the thesis recommends the strategic development and implementation of a rural … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2020 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=TbSlw38AAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=TbSlw38AAAAJ:9ZlFYXVOiuMC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/e311d7e2a4660a16d00826a38de049d1.pdf e8632ba2a09ca89f78effcb107aafdbe 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 The Youth And Rituals In Post-Conflict Rebuilding: The Psychosocial Dimension Of Post-Conflict Rebuilding In The Kpandai District In Contemporary Times Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Sulemana Iddrisu, Gbensuglo Alidu Bukari Description An account of the resource Northern Ghana has gone through decades of inter-ethnic and intra-ethnic conflicts since the 1980s. The present-day Kpandai District was ravaged by an inter-ethnic conflict in 1991/1992, between the Nawuri/Nchumuru and the Gonja, over allodial rights. In both the physical confrontations and rebuilding processes, the youth and rituals played critical roles. However, there is hardly any systematic analysis of the role of the youth and rituals in the post-conflict rebuilding scheme in the Kpandai District. This paper analyzes the roles played by traditional rituals and the Nawuri youth (Nawuri Professionals’ Association, NPA) in post-conflict rebuilding schemes in Kpandai. Using the traditional historical method of reconstructing a narrative from primary and secondary sources, this paper examines the psychosocial dimension and underlines the place of local resources in post-conflict rebuilding in the Kpandai District in the Northern Region of Ghana. It uses the Nawuri Professionals’ Association (NPA)–a youth group of the Nawuri–as a case study. The paper argues that the youth and the use of rituals as psychosocial factors serve as effective variables for post-conflict rebuilding of Nawuri society in the Kpandai District.
