Title A name given to the resource Modeling ICT adoption and electricity consumption in emerging digital economies: Insights from the West African Region Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Michael Appiah Kubi, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Brenya Boahemaa, Derrick Donkor, Lilian Arthur, Christopher Lamptey, Eric Ekobor-Ackah Mochiah Description An account of the resource This study investigates the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on electricity consumption in West Africa, employing a dynamic panel data model. The results show a significant long-term positive effect of ICT adoption on electricity consumption. Notably, internet connections increase the demand for electricity, with estimates ranging from 13.4 % to 19.3 %. While mobile phone subscriptions demonstrate modest positive effect of 6.85 %, personal computer ownership appears to have a negligible impact. The study contributes to the existing literature by offering a detailed examination of the distinct effects of different ICT components on electricity consumption, incorporating a novel estimation approach and sensitivity analyses that account for the COVID-19 pandemic and the Anglo-French linguistic divide.

Title A name given to the resource Assessing Factors Affecting the Blockchain Adoption in Public Procurement Delivery in Ghana: A Correlational Study Using UTAUT2 Theoretical Framework Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource David King Boison, Ebenezer Malcalm, Ahmed Antwi-Boampong, Musah Osumanu Doumbia, Kamal Kant Hiran Description An account of the resource The study assessed the factors that influence the adoption of blockchain (BC) in Ghana's public procurement delivery. The study adopted correctional design and utilized the extended unified theory of the acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) as the conceptual basis to determine whether performance expectancy (PE), behavioral intent (BI), effort expectancy (EE), social influence (SI), facilitating conditions (FC), hedonic motivation (HM), price value (PV), and habit (HT) were predictors of the intention of state owned enterprises to adopt blockchain programs in the implementation of the public procurement act. Only four constructs, namely PE, EE, FC, and HT, were found to influence the behavioral intention (BI) of service providers to participate in a BC. This study provides a deeper understanding of the adoption of BC in the delivery of public contracts.

Probing the case of a developing economy Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Ankrah, Kingsley Dogah, Sampson Twumasi-Ankrah, Frank Gyimah Sackey, Richard Asravor, Derrick Ofori Donkor, Christopher Lamptey, Lilian Arthur Description An account of the resource An expected decline in oil revenue and a complicated global energy market present significant concerns about oil-producing countries’ intentions to move away from fossil fuels. Understanding the dynamics of these concerns, particularly in light of potential energy transitions, is crucial for future energy supply and sustainable energy discussion. Given the scarcity of research on the issue, this study examined whether an implied shift from fossil fuels to a cleaner energy state is possible for Ghana, a small oil-producing economy in sub-Saharan Africa. A two-state Markov Switching Model (MSM) was applied to a dataset covering 1980–2019. Results based on a multivariate state-dependent regression technique were documented as follows: First, the probability of transitioning from a nonrenewable energy state to a renewable energy state is 76.5%.

Title A name given to the resource Blended Learning Adoption in Higher Education: Presenting the Lived Experiences of Students in a Public University from a Developing Country. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwi-Boampong Description An account of the resource The concept of Blended Learning (BL) is gaining widespread attention in Ghana as many public universities' switches into this delivery format. The paper investigates the BL experiences of students from a public university and among other things presents their views relative to the determinants of BL adoption and the barriers encountered out of the experience. The paper adopts a qualitative case study methodology and purposively interviews 15 students from a BL class of 57 students. The analysis was done using Thematic analysis techniques. The findings presented in this paper indicate that the students in the BL class hold a positive perception of BL. Insights into the perspective of the respondents show that students view BL as an approach that is convenient, flexible and among other things facilitate learning beyond the limitations imposed by the classrooms. Also, BL is viewed as an effective pedagogic tool that allows learning to take place in a socially constructive manner through Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Sakarya University.

Title A name given to the resource Attaining sustainable business performance via eco-innovation under ecological regulatory stringency and market turbulence Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Otu Larbi-Siaw, Hu Xuhua, Derrick Ofori Donkor Description An account of the resource The study examines approaches wherein two external factors spur Ghanaian firms to eco-innovate: ecological regulatory stringency and market turbulence. The study's conceptual framework is evaluated using survey data from 513 Ghanaian manufacturing firms using a hybrid Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Model and Arttificial Neural Network technique, which provides support to the proposed hypothesis. Thus, by dividing eco-innovation into product eco-innovation and process eco-innovation, we infer that ecological regulation stringency improves sustainable business performance primarily through process eco-innovation instead of product eco-innovation and market turbulence has a greater impact on sustainable business performance through product eco-innovation as opposed to process eco-innovation.

Title A name given to the resource An investigation into barriers impacting against faculty blended learning adoption Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ahmed Antwı-boampong Description An account of the resource Blended Learning has not attained campus-wide integration and adoption as the preferred teaching delivery mode by faculty members a few years after the management of a public university in Ghana decided to move from face to face delivery to the blended mode. This study investigates the barriers impacting faculty Blended Learning in Ghana. The study uses an exploratory qualitative approach to investigate the barriers to faculty non-adoption of blended learning. It also investigates their perceptions and experiences. A total of 22 faculty members from four faculties of the university were purposively selected and interviewed for this study. The data were coded and analyzed using a constant comparative analytical method. Thematic analysis was then applied to generate themes for the findings. The study found four themes that inductively constitute barriers to faculty BL adoption. These are infrastructure, faculty concerns, institutional, technical support barriers. The study provides insights into the lived experiences of faculty members relative to the impediments they face in adopting BL. Thus, administrative managers need to avert their attention to institutional related barriers, faculty related concerns, technical barriers, and infrastructure-related barriers when implementing BL.

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 Ahmed Antwi-Boampong, 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.

Title A name given to the resource Blockchain-Ready Port Supply Chain Using Distributed Ledger Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource David King Boison, Ahmed Antwi-Boampong Description An account of the resource Blockchain technology, as a bedrock for distributed ledgers, offers a platform for innovation for a new decentralized and transparent transaction machinery in industries and businesses, and the port is not an exception. The inbuilt features of this technology enrich trust through transparency and traceability within any transaction of data, goods, services, and financial resources. Notwithstanding initial doubts about this technology, lately government and large corporations have offered to adopt and enhance this technology in various fields of applications, from social and legal industries, and finance to design, maritime and port networks. In this paper, the authors review the current status of the Blockchain technology and some of its applications. The potential benefit of such a technology in port and maritime supply chain is then discussed, and a vision for the future Blockchain ready port and maritime supply chain are proposed. The importation of containerized vehicles is used as an example to demonstrate how such technology can be deployed in a global port industry. Finally, the requirements and challenges to adopt this technology in the future in relation to, port and maritime systems are discussed.

Title A name given to the resource Relationship between Board Structure Characteristics and Financial Performance of Listed Food and Beverage Firms in Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Angmor Peter Lawer Description An account of the resource This paper investigates the relationship between board structure characteristics and financial performance of Listed Food and Beverage Firms (LFBFs) in Ghana. The study relied on published financial reports of LFBFs for the period of 2001 to 2013. To achieve the objective of the study, we estimated a linear regression model based on panel data which was performed on the dependent variable, return on assets (ROA). Through statistical calculations, we found evidence that board size and Chief Executive Officer duality have significant negative relationships with return on assets, with board composition having insignificant negative relationship with return on assets. However, a significant positive relationship was established between board ownership and return on assets. The study recommends that LFBFs in Ghana should consider having the right mix of experience and skills on the board, but not necessarily considering only a small or large board size. Also, shareholders should encourage board members to own shares in their firms and the few firms practicing CEO duality should work hard to reverse the practice completely.
