Title A name given to the resource Corporate Governance and Total Quality Management Implementation in The Telecom Sector, Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu-Kyei, Yusheng Kong, Michael Owusu Akomeah, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource The Emerging markets (EMs) and Frontier markets (FMs) within today’s global business economy function as the central engines of growth. Populations which previously had limited or no access to modern technological advances now enjoy product and service novelty, especially within the telecommunication sector. The leapfrogged generations of technology made them seize the opportunity for improved living conditions through mobile telephony. This paper seeks to analyze the performance of telcos in an emerging market, using some selected telecommunication companies in Ghana as a case study. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of corporate governance on the implementation of total quality management (TQM) policies in the telecom companies. This investigation provides a basis by which telecommunication companies can configure, generate and develop consistent, flexible and adoptive corporate governance features and total quality management (TQM). A self-completion questionnaire was administered to customers and employees of MTN Ghana and Vodafone Ghana. Both companies operate with the same procedures and equipment, hence the need to use the same apparatus for all contacted customers and employees. There were 800 respondents from both companies’ employees and customers, although 850 questionnaires were administered. The investigators also did run preliminary tests such as reliability, validity, and multicollinearity tests to ascertain if the received data were reasonable enough for the research, and would fit the expected model. The data collected were analyzed and inference drawn … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science (IJRISS) 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&hl=en&user=TbSlw38AAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=TbSlw38AAAAJ:4TOpqqG69KYC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/47a4fe4ac9af009a0c929e5d3eff03d1.pdf 139d23b6207f3e05fff3d0563e87db13 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 Autochthonous, conquest and overlordship rights in land: Constructing allodial rights in the Kpandai area in Northern Ghana in the pre-colonial times Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura Description An account of the resource In 1991-92, a conflict over the allodial title to lands in the Kpandai area broke out between the Nawuri and the Gonja, prompting the necessity to interrogate the concept of allodial rights. In Northern Ghana in general, allodial rights in land are ethnicized-the right of absolute ownership of land resided in an ethnic group. Nonetheless, the modes of acquisition of allodial rights in land differ from place to place, though generally they are embedded in the historical traditions of societies. By and large, the modes of acquisition of allodial rights in land by an ethnic group are determined by variables such as autochthonous and conquest rights, lease and gift. This study interrogates the ownership of Kpandai in the pre-colonial period, using, as determinants, tools such as autochthony, conquest, and I overlordship. It argues that allodial rights in lands in the Kpandai in the pre-colonial period resided in the Nawuri by virtue of rights of autochthony and autonomy.

Title A name given to the resource Candidate Selection and Nomination Methods: A Historical Review and Analysis of Presidential Primaries in Ghana’s Fourth Republic, 1992-2020 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gbensuglo Alidu Bukari, Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Mathew Lobnibe Arah Description An account of the resource This paper analyzes the selection of presidential candidates in primary elections by political parties in Ghana’s Fourth Republic. It examines the formal intra-party rules and regulations that govern primary elections for the selection of party presidential candidate, and how this enhances Ghana’s democracy. Given that interpretation is central to this paper, exploratory case design is adopted. Drawing from documented material and semi-structured interviews, the results of analysis suggest that the intra-party primary election rules and regulations of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP) find expression in the electoral laws as contained in the 1992 Constitution of Ghana. The results show that there is no much variation in the intra-party rules of the two parties in their selection of presidential candidates. Also, both the NDC and NPP use closed system of primaries (this involved only registered party members who are elected and appointed executives, party appointees and party elders). The only variation is explained in the nomination and filing fees. The results of analysis further explained that the NDC and NPP have both departed from ‘National Delegates’ Congress System of presidential candidate selection to a ‘Nationwide Voting System.’The study also revealed that though, the NDC adopted an open primary system in 2015, it has since reversed to the closed system of primary election in 2019. The study concludes that the ways in which political parties select candidates play a crucial role in shaping political debates and politics in Ghana. The paper therefore recommends that the intra-party politics, primary … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2022 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=FihyGVkAAAAJ&citation_for_view=FihyGVkAAAAJ:roLk4NBRz8UC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/a8c627595bf3a26f506054b99a1d71b6.pdf 4a524b03723ae6561d14722de156defd 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 No Youth, No Conflict: The Youth Factor in the Nawuri-Gonja Conflict in Northern Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura Description An account of the resource In the 1970s, ethnic youth associations sprang up in Northern Region of Ghanaborne out of the local concerns and desires to stimulate community development through self-help progammes. This led to the crystallization of ethnic youth associations, including the Gonja Youth Association, Konkomba Youth Association, Dagomba Youth Association, Chamba Youth Association, Nawuri Youth Association, Nanumba Youth Association. These associations dominated the local socio-political space in the region, and spearheaded the politics of self-help and ethnic identity. Few years after their formation, ethnic youth associations had become powerful organizations in Northern Ghana to the extent that their activities began to push ethnic groups to the brink of conflicts. Using a historical approach that blended data from documentary and non-documentary sources, this study examined the socio-political activism of Nawuri and Gonja youths and youth groups as well as the participation of the youth in the Nawuri-Gonja conflict of 1991/1992. It also examines the role of Nawuri youth groups in peacebuilding after the conflict. The paper argues that Nawuri and Gonja youth groups were catalytical to the Nawuri-Gonja conflict and post-conflict peacebuilding.

Title A name given to the resource Historical analysis of the formation and structural organization of political parties in Ghana: a diagnosis of the national democratic congress Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Gbensuglo Alidu Bukari, Mathew Lobnibe Arah Description An account of the resource Political parties, particularly the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP), have been vibrant in Ghana’s democratic space in the Fourth Republic. This paper examines the historicity of the development of the NDC. It establishes how the structural organization of the NDC pitches its appeal and attracts electoral support as a supplementary variable. Scholarship on the variables of the electoral fortunes of political parties in Ghana in the Fourth Republic has focused essentially on factors such as ethnicity, clientelism, ideological positions, retrospective voting, and rational voting. Little space has been given to the extent to which the structural organisation of a party plays an important role in electoral outcomes. This paper shifts the discourse from the traditional narrative that focused on the factors of the electoral fortunes of political parties in Ghana in the Fourth Republic to the study of the structural organization of political parties. Adapting the political development model to the study of the historicity of the structure of the NDC, this paper examined the historical formation and structural organization of the party. Employing an explanatory case study design, data for the analysis were drawn from textual studies and key informant interviews. The paper argued that the voting Ghanaian public and citizens in general seemed to be heavily tilted towards the attributes, values and principles the NDC represents as a ‘Third Political Force.’ The paper recommends that the philosophy of the NDC and its identity should be intricately grounded in real social democratic ideals, principles, policies and activities with definite levels of … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Фонд поддержки академических инициатив 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&hl=en&user=FihyGVkAAAAJ&citation_for_view=FihyGVkAAAAJ:3fE2CSJIrl8C Language A language of the resource English 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 Ethnic Factor in International Politics: Constructing the Role of the Nawuri in the Pan-Ewe Nationalist Movement Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Awaisu Imurana Braimah2 Felix YT Longi Description An account of the resource This paper examines the German colonial project in Alfai in Northern Ghana as well as the roles the Nawuri played in the political activism of the 1940s and 1950s that sought to define the administrative status of the two Trust Territories of former German Togoland. Described as the “Togoland Question” or the “Ewe Problem”, the political activism has been labeled an Ewe affair, and examined largely within the framework of the pan-Ewe nationalists seeking to project an Ewe identity and establish an Ewe-dominated state. This study shifts focus to the roles that the Nawuri, a non-Ewe ethnic group, played in the pan-Ewe nationalist movement, and argues that the pan-Ewe nationalist movement was not entirely an Ewe affair; Nawuri association with and participation in its activities were conspicuous.

Title A name given to the resource The Role of Microfinance in Promoting Women's Empowerment: A Socioeconomic Approach Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gertrude Amoakohene, Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Joseph Nkyi, Mohammed Musah, Peter Yao Lartey Description An account of the resource Women's economic empowerment is a technique meant to give them more authority over decisions, increase their income, and own assets. Since empowering women is essential to achieving the goals of development and reducing poverty, numerous attempts have been made to address this issue. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) have emerged as key tools over the past few decades to not only address poverty, but also to empower women in particular. It is believed that by employing microfinance, which has been shown to be one of the most effective approaches, women may gain some kind of personal empowerment. The primary objective of this research is to analyse how microfinance affects women's economic empowerment. Microfinance significantly boosts women's independent revenues, their levels of asset ownership, and their savings, which all contribute to their economic empowerment.

Title A name given to the resource Gender and peace-building: Nawuri women and peace-building initiatives in the Kpandai District in the northern region of Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource CK Mbowura Description An account of the resource Scholarship on Nawuri history, sociocultural, economic and political institutions and organizations has provided little space for gender issues. Similarly, the narratives on the Nawuri-Gonja conflict, particularly its resolution and search for peace, have failed to situate peace-building encounters and initiatives within gender perspectives. This study examines the roles of Nawuri women in peace-building in Kpandai and its environs after the Nawuri-Gonja conflict of the 1990s. It examines the sociocultural tools and nomenclatures–the magico-religious rituals, songs, demonstrations and outreach programmes–that Nawuri women utilized to promote peace and advance peace-building initiatives in Kpandai and its environs after the Nawuri-Gonja conflict. By blending together data from monographs, field research and archival materials, this study constructs a coherent narrative on the contributions of Nawuri women to peace-building in Kpandai and its environments over the past three decades. It argues that Nawuri women appropriated issues and events in their sociocultural settings to advance the course of peace and peace-building in their environment after the Nawuri-Gonja conflict of the 1990s.
