Title A name given to the resource Recent advances in internal control: Soft control overcoming the limits of hard control Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Peter Yao Lartey, Isaac Gumah Akolgo, Santosh Rupa Jaladi, Selorm Ayeduvor, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource Uncertainties and risks continue to pose a threat to governance and internal control, impeding public sector modernization and essential service delivery. Attempts to develop alternative strategies to meet desired results in highly bureaucratic institutional environments such as the public sector are intensifying because ideas and principles matter. This study advances informal" soft control" as a substitute for formal" hard control" in four dimensions:(a) creates a clear difference between" soft" and" hard" control;(b) designs key determinants of informal" soft" control;(c) limitations of formal" hard" control; and (d) a conceptual framework and hypotheses to support future empirical research and “operationalization” of the proposed constructs. Critical observations imply that the increasing cases of corporate malpractice and consequential non-alignments with best practises in recent times are sufficient evidence to suggest that formal control is incapable of mitigating financial crimes, irregularities, and preventing complex accounting scandals classified as white-collar fraud. The causes of these control failures are attributed to overreliance on" hard control" which primarily works with sanctions and the neglect of informal control mechanisms" soft controls". This condition has limited the ability of auditors to uncover systematic failures of controls that are process-specific, resulting in a partial and incomplete evaluation of internal controls. The study assumed a theoretical approach due to the lack of existing empirical research on “soft control”. However, this observations form a solid theoretical foundation for further discussions.

Title A name given to the resource Corporate social responsibility factors, environment and corporate sustainability: Specific overview of India and China Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Peter Yao Lartey, Junguo Shi, Santosh Rupa Jaladi, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource Corporate social responsibility represents the relationship between business and society. The significant benefits of being socially and environmentally responsible are the focus of this paper. This review emphasized the business oriented notion of Corporate Social Responsibility, where the idea is captured to justify existing arguments supportive of community and environmental programs. The review attempted to clarify major research questions:(1) why do businesses engage in society initiatives;(2) what inspires the decisions to support the society–a specific comparison highlighted between China and India. The study featured various CSR and sustainability regulations currently in force in different countries. In order to achieve the aim of the study, the review begun with overview of CSR based on well-established definitions and subsequently discussed the two major perspectives; the free market theory and CSR theory. This gave a clears explanation of why some businesses invest their resources to benefit the society while others are profit seeking. Finally, the paper sought to establish the integration of CSR with corporate sustainability. The findings suggest that, contemporary CSR programs are largely influenced by regulations and legal provisions across the world. And ideally, a firm’s CSR performance is influenced by internal and external factors which are captured in stakeholder theory and institutional theory. The findings, validate the ascension that the integration of CSR with corporate sustainability (CS) could produce a coherent platform to advance environmental sustainability.

Title A name given to the resource Importance of organizational tacit knowledge: Barriers to knowledge sharing Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Peter Yao Lartey, Junguo Shi, Rupa Jaladi Santosh, Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Isaac Akolgo Gumah, Mansuur Husein, Fatoumata Binta Maci Bah Description An account of the resource This chapter incorporates the relevance of tacit knowledge and highlights some major barriers to knowledge sharing. Knowledge transfer is action through which; information, skills, expertise and experience is exchanged among people in an organization and it is a valuable and tangible asset for creating sustainability, performance and competitive advantage. From what is currently known, knowledge sharing activities occur generally with the support of knowledge systems designed by the board and knowledge managers. It is suggested that technology is one of the tools that support knowledge sharing, though other factors exist, such as organizational culture, trust, leadership and management philosophy, incentives and internal control systems. In this study, the researchers explore possible knowledge sharing opportunities and associated barriers, starting from top management to employees. The main purpose of this chapter is to look at how tacit knowledge affects organizational success. The chapter also covers ways to promote knowledge transfer in order to improve organizational performance and innovation. The discussion elaborated on the significance of tacit knowledge in a way that previous literature does not. It is emphasized that, from a resource-based view, businesses gain competitive advantage when they value and retain their existing tacit knowledge, as explicit knowledge is already known to everyone. According to the study, important variables such as corporate culture, individual employees, technology, and organizational internal factors are potential hurdles that must be examined to minimize the impact on organizational … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ntechOpen 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=TbSlw38AAAAJ&citation_for_view=TbSlw38AAAAJ:0EnyYjriUFMC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/9fec837ddfe25b4e56a27579fe290e5b.pdf ff440c7ce97891aa661bd884146b52a6 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 Application of BCG as a strategic planning tool to assess the sustainability and growth of university programs in a competitive market Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Yusheng Kong, Michael Owusu Akomeah, Kingsley Appiah, Patrick Obeng Danso Description An account of the resource With regards to the competitive environment for consumer demand, it is imperative for organizations to utilize reputed models for tactical resource allocation to different strategic business units and products. The work describes and explains the BCG portfolio matrix model to assess five Ghanaian university programs. Effective implementation of the BCG model helps the institution of higher education to achieve the finest status from the viewpoint of competitive positions in the market. The model helps institutions choose which markets and business units to finance on the basis of two features-competitiveness and market attractiveness; with the fundamental drivers for these factors being market share and growth rate respectively. Therefore, for the survival and growth of the product, the firm needs to adopt some effective and operative strategies, and also invests in areas like research and development which will enhance new ideas. Of course, the technological and innovative aspects should also not be disregarded. These strategies will enhance an innovative brand in the existing market which will help the product gain a competitive advantage. This paper attempts to analyse the business model, BCG and how it can seek to promote sustainability and growth of the university programs in a competitive market.

Title A name given to the resource Déviations des médias sociaux chez les étudiants universitaires au Ghana Social media deviations among university students in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Owusu Tabiri Michael Description An account of the resource Unlike recent research that concentrated on the importance of social media platforms, the current study aims at exploring deviations on social media platforms. This research paper seeks to analyze social media deviations among Ghanaian students. The study adopted a quantitative survey approach by administering an online questionnaire to undergraduate students of the university and analyzing the data using descriptive statistics. Through the method of investigation and answering of questionnaires by learners, all the social media deviations were revealed and classified. The participants of this research comprised 597 level 100 students at the Ghana Communication Technology University. Through investigative approach by means of open-ended questions, it was revealed that the improper use of social media platforms in Africa, particularly, in Ghana cannot be overemphasized. The major findings of social media platforms were put into eight (8) categories, namely: propagation of falsehoods, propagation of profanity, pejoration, promotion of pornography, patronage of plagiarism, using people’s pictures in a very ridiculous and humiliating manner, swift sharing of horrific images and browsing at the odd times even during major functions like state functions and Church services. Despite the numerous deviations on the social media platforms, the marketing or promotion of businesses, the didactical/pedagogical significance of social media as well as its role as the swiftest medium of communication and dissemination of information cannot be overlooked.

Title A name given to the resource Credit risk management system of commercial banks: an analysis of the process Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Kong Yusheng, Li Kaodui, Ayamba Emmanuel Caesar, M Owusu-Akomeah Description An account of the resource Credit risk is the risk that a financial institution will incur losses because the financial position of a borrower has deteriorated to the point that the value of an asset (including off-balance-sheet assets) is reduced or extinguished. The purpose of this work is to expatiate strategies to mitigate challenges resulting from unpaid loans, which could be used further in understanding the components of credit risk management (CRM) system of commercial banks (CBs) in a less developed economy. This was accomplished through the use of both primary (interviews) and secondary (various relevant documents) information from CBs and key management officials dealing with credit management. The investigation proved that credit risk can be managed and minimized when formidable strategic approaches are implemented and adhered to. This implies that the strategy operated by a bank is an important consideration for a CRM system to be successful. Ghana, a less developed economy, provides an excellent case for studying how CBs operating in economies with less developed financial sector manage their credit risk.

Title A name given to the resource Do corporate governance mechanisms and internal control systems matter in reducing mortality rates? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Yusheng Kong, Patrick Obeng Danso, Abdul‐Aziz Ibn Musah, Michael Owusu Akomeah Description An account of the resource Internal controls are critical to guarding an institution against fraud, error, and devastation. They are effective tools for preventing losses and achieving organizational goals. However, internal control mechanisms need to be relevant, because the organization cannot comprehend the effectiveness of the system if they are out‐of‐touch with the operation. Health care control practices are not exceptionally different from what pertains in other industries. The health care organizations require effective corporate governance mechanisms to uphold their operations and performances. These practices assist health care organizations to exhume cynical practices that generate unproductive results and also factors militating against the hospital's goals or objectives. This study revealed that practices such as enhanced Board diligence, Health Professionals on board, financial prudence, and effective communication have the … 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 http://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=TbSlw38AAAAJ&citation_for_view=TbSlw38AAAAJ:WF5omc3nYNoC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/07ec462f42161e4f3d4d86aecf4d443d.pdf b1ca4327bb6ab1f1e9065ce021db6c63 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 EMPOWERING THE GHANAIAN YOUTH FOR ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu Tabiri Description An account of the resource This article examines practical steps that must be taken to empower African youth for trans-generational accelerated and all round development. The data were generally gathered through questionnaires answered by 150 Ghanaian university students. It was found through administration of survey questionnaires that only a handful of the respondents had entrepreneurial and educational ambitions or goals after their University education. The synopsis of the findings is as follows: Employment focused ambitions-70%, Educational ambitions–20% and Entrepreneurial ambitions-10%. It was discovered that to ensure youth development, nurturing, training, equipping and empowering must be the principal pillars or stages to incorporate and harness tirelessly and diligently. It was also revealed that without equipping and empowering the youth educationally, economically and entrepreneurially, there cannot be any future development. The paper argues that empowerment leads to development. That is, a meaningful empowerment and equipping will automatically lead to sustainable accelerated development. The work contributes to the process of trans-generational development and empowerment that should definitely lead to sustainable national development as well as stressing the only panacea for juvenile delinquency. The paper proposes incorporation of mentorship and empowerment into Ghanaian tertiary institutions‟ programmes, as well as transforming the one year National Service to mandatory Mentorship and Empowerment for all graduates of tertiary institutions.

This is a qualitative study that analysed the difficulties that level 100 Francophone students who have French as a Second Language(L2) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in a Ghanaian university face in identifying English determiners. The data used for the analysis comprised students’ written exercise. The theoretical framework on which this research is based is article-focused theory which is discourse rule transfer propounded by Robertson (2000) as well as the semantic model developed by Huebner (1983), known as the "semantic wheel for noun phrase reference". Pre determiners, central determiners and post determiners were found in the data analysed. Central determiners recorded the highest number of 25 representing 64%, followed by pre determiners with 11 representing 28% and post determiners showing 3 determiners denoting 8%. Based on the findings, some pedagogical measures such as taking into consideration the needs analysis and teaching all the three types of determiners in context communication were proposed as means of minimising Francophone students’ difficulties in English determiner system 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=c6aHdPkAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=c6aHdPkAAAAJ:_FxGoFyzp5QC Language A language of the resource English
