Title A name given to the resource Investigating the challenges faced by microfinance institutions in Ghana: Evidence from Takoradi Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Daniel Odoom, Kennedy Oppong Fosu, Kwadwo Ankomah, Marian Birago Amofa Description An account of the resource Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs) contribute immensely to the economy of every nation. Particularly, within the informal sector, MFIs constitute the pivot around which many financially disadvantaged individuals rely on in terms of access to finance for their businesses. MFIs play a tremendous role in the poverty reduction and employment creation agenda of many nations including Ghana. Notwithstanding the immense role MFIs play in the economies of nations, there is a wide recognition of the fact that the institutions can perform better if they are able to overcome the challenges they face in their operations. However, in order for MFIs to effectively tackle the challenges they encounter, it is important for them to first identify and appreciate these challenges and the threats they pose to the effectiveness of their operations. Within this context, this study sought to explore the challenges MFIs in Ghana face, with particular emphasis on those operating in Takoradi. The study was quantitative, with descriptive survey as the design. Managers and employees of MFIs located in the city licensed by the Bank of Ghana were involved in the study. Simple random sampling method was used to select 114 respondents for the study and questionnaire was relied upon for data collection. The researchers used frequencies, percentages, an independent samples t-test and ANOVA as tools for data analysis. The study observed that increased competition in the industry, low repayment rates, higher cost of information technology, low level knowledge of operators, inadequate and expensive infrastructure base, high capital requirements, unfavourable regulation and … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Institute for Science, Technology and Education (IISTE) 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=QN2MUMkAAAAJ&citation_for_view=QN2MUMkAAAAJ:u5HHmVD_uO8C Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/05cb2db25103f76c28fb8937aa4ad9c7.pdf 707db0aaa74ebc416930475a9e5a1de4 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 Financial inclusion, economic freedom and financial stability in sub‐Saharan Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Siaw Frimpong, Mawusi Ayisat Yusuf, Ebenezer Boateng, Kwadwo Ankomah, Mac Junior Abeka Description An account of the resource Executive Summary The study examines the role of economic freedom in the relationship between financial inclusion and stability in sub‐Saharan African economies. By employing the System General Method of Moment and data from 39 sub‐Saharan African countries between 2004 and 2017, the study examines whether economic freedom (i.e., financial and business freedom) conditions the effect of financial inclusion on stability. Results from the study show evidence of a positive impact of financial inclusion on financial stability in sub‐Saharan African economies. Again, the results depict that financial inclusion could better enhance financial stability in economies with a high level of economic freedom (i.e., financial and business freedom). The results suggest that policymakers should allow financial institutions to operate with the level of freedom required to provide services at the lowest possible price.

Asafo-Adjei, E., Owusu Junior, P., Adam, A. M., Arthur, C. L., Boateng, E., & Ankomah Description An account of the resource Prior studies on the relationship between FDI and growth have generally concentrated on mean effects, or average growth benefits. It seems improbable that the majority of sub-Saharan economies will have similar “average” economic growth, hence the emphasis on mean effects in particular falls short. All other drivers can be seen to have an impact based on the uneven growth rates of these economies. The current study brings new evidence about the asymmetric relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth amidst financial sector development (FSD) and corruption covering a sample period of 2002 to 2020 for 48 sub-Saharan economies. For this reason, the instrumental variables panel quantile regression technique is employed to achieve the purpose of the study.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the contributions of microfinance institutions to the ghanaian economy: a study at Takoradi Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Daniel Odoom, Kennedy Oppong Fosu, Kwadwo Ankomah, Marian Birago Amofa Description An account of the resource Micro-Finance Institutions (MFIs) play an important role in making services available to the financially excluded masses, especially the needy and the informal sector. MFIs do not only have a considerable influence in reducing poverty but also the ability to do that sustainably. These institutions predominantly are regarded to be critical tools for growth in battling poverty and over-reliance on central and local governments, in several developing nations including Ghana. In spite of the above, MFIs face a number of challenges in Ghana, with the news of collapse of some MFIs which has become a cause for concern to various stakeholders. This tends to create some doubts regarding the role MFIs play in the Ghanaian economy. Using Takoradi as a case, this study sought to examine the views of operators and employees of MFIs with regard to the contributions of the institutions to the economy of Ghana through descriptive survey design in a quantitative research approach. The researchers adopted the purposive and simple random sampling techniques in selecting 114 respondents for the study, with questionnaire as the research instrument. Analytical tools used for the study were frequencies, percentages and an independent sample t-test. The study revealed that in terms of their types based on client base, most microfinance institutions operating in the city targeted SME operators. Also, based on their services, MFIs in the city were grouped into individual lending, group lending, compulsory and voluntary savings, among others. Again, the study found that MFIs in Takoradi contribute variously to the local economy including provision of financial … 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=QN2MUMkAAAAJ&citation_for_view=QN2MUMkAAAAJ:u-x6o8ySG0sC Language A language of the resource English https://repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/10f2e4dc1a070f9f8fa8fbdd4f853532.pdf 052e7e13873413c7d8a0ced2bab5753a 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 Role of Ai in Facilitating Supplier Collaboration and Enhancing Supply Chain Performance Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Umar Farouk Aliu Mahama, David King Boison, Ahmed Antwi-Boampong, Musah Osumanu Doumbia, Ruchi Doshi Description An account of the resource This study examines the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing supply chain performance through improved supplier collaboration in West Africa. It explores how AI technologies optimize supplier interactions and overall supply chain efficiency, integrating Transaction Cost Economics (TCE) and Resource-Based View (RBV) theories. TCE highlights AI's ability to reduce transaction costs and uncertainties, while RBV emphasizes AI's role in resource allocation and logistics optimization. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design is used, complemented by qualitative insights from interviews and surveys. The sample includes 250 suppliers involved in collaborative supply chain initiatives utilizing AI technologies. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analyzes the data, revealing significant relationships between AI-driven communication tools, automation in collaboration processes, real-time data sharing, supplier network integration, and supply chain performance. The findings underscore AI's substantial impact on supply chain performance metrics. AI-driven communication tools, automation, and real-time data sharing capabilities are significant predictors of supply chain performance. Supplier network integration shows a strong positive relationship with supply chain performance, indicating its critical role in enhancing efficiency. Recommendations include adopting AI-driven communication tools and automation to streamline supplier interactions and optimize operations. Investing in real-time data sharing capabilities and fostering supplier network integration is essential for sustainable supply chain improvements.

Title A name given to the resource An Exploration of Experiences and Determinants of Blended Learning Adoption Among Students in Higher Education Institutions: A Case Study of Ghana Technology University Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antiwi-Boampong, Lene Sørensen Description An account of the resource This paper presents the experiences and determinants of blended learning adoption among students in a higher education institution in Ghana. As students are increasingly being exposed to teaching and learning deliveries in which both traditional classroom and online methods are employed to deliver instructional content through blended learning (BL), the indications are that blended courses offer them convenience and flexibility that face to face delivery alone may not. However, while both classroom-based and fully online instruction are well understood, little is known about the students' BL experience. This paper uses the blended learning initiative at the Ghana Technology University College (GTUC) as a case study to investigate the perception of blended learning adoption among students. The population comprised of 57 students who participated in a BL course at the Faculty of Computing and Information … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Academic Conferences International Limited Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2018 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=riwB9JUAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=riwB9JUAAAAJ:zGdJYJv2LkUC 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 Towards an Institutional Blended Learning Adoption Model for Higher Education Institutions Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Antwi-Boampong Ahmed, Anthony Junior Bokolo Description An account of the resource There has been considerable interest in Blended learning (BL) and how it is transforming teaching and learning in higher education institutions. Research in this area is focused on course level issues in relation to how students and faculty members interact and adopt blended learning, with very limited focus on institutional adoption. There is the need for more institutional adoption research to guide how higher education institutions shape policies as they transition from the traditional face to face delivery model to fully blended universities. This study adopts a grounded theory methodology to investigate institutional BL adoption initiatives. A public university in Ghana, which is in its early/adoption implementation stage, is selected as a case study and analysed using the constant comparative analytical technique. The university management took a decision in 2013 to transition from face to face delivery to a fully adopted blended learning approach. The university subsequently adopted a BL policy which, among other things, directed faculty members to teach courses via a mix of face to face and online using a Moodle Learning Management System (LMS). Findings from this study present the identified factors that influence and impact the adoption of BL program in institutions. Findings from this study suggest that institutional decision to adopt or reject BL is influenced by the level of the institutional desire to adopt blended learning and the level of the institution’s intention to adopt blended. The outcome of the findings is developed into an institutional adoption model to guide managers of institutions intending to transition to BL delivery model.
