Title A name given to the resource Examining the Management of Risk Issues in Procurement; A Case Study of Ghana Technology University College (GTUC) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cornelius Kwarkoh Amoah Description An account of the resource The purpose of the study is to examine the “Management of risk issues in procurement: a case study of Ghana Technology University College.” Objectives that steered this research were (a) to determine the relationship between procurement risks/challenges, organizational performance and the need for management of procurement risks; (b) to find the specific procurement risks in GTUC and how they affect organizational performance; and (c) to find specific procurement related risks that need particular attention for management and how these risks could be managed. By means of an exploratory cross-sectional research design 30 staff of the GTUC including 4 procurement officials was selected for the study. The sample size forms more than 50% of the population of staff in the GTUC who deal directly with the procurement unit. Staff of the GTUC quantitatively filled the Procurement risk questionnaire, organizational performance questionnaire and the management of procurement risk questionnaire. Procurement officials were interviewed based on the objectives of the study. Findings revealed that, procurement risks/challenges do not significantly affect the organizational performance of the University; however, qualitative probe reveals that, the procurement risks/challenges translate into poor service quality in the GTUC including slow work activities and ineffective teaching and learning. Moreover, interferences/disruptions and resources challenges are the greatest of risk issues in procurement and would reduce the procurement risks in the GTUC by 39% if managed. It was also found that, risk issues in procurement in the GTU is high and requires a relatively higher management approaches to mitigate it such as elimination or simplification of some bureaucratic procedures as well as proactive work dynamics such as early submission of proposals and budgets. Furthermore, more would have to be done to enhance the capabilities of staff through the selection of qualified personnel and staff development through training programmes and self- development. The finding was explained in relation to the rational choice theory and supports a number of studies reviewed. It also highlights a number of discoveries into procurement risks that have not been reported by previous studies. It is recommended therefore that the procurement processes in the GTUC be reviewed periodically so that bureaucratic processes that impede successful outcomes are either eliminated or simplified.

Title A name given to the resource Factors Impeding the Effectiveness and Efficiency of Public Procurement Delivery: A Case Study of the Ministry of Education. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Emmanuel Kofi Aidoo Description An account of the resource Over the years, strict adherence to public procurement processes has become a major challenge in public institutions rendering them ineffective and inefficient. The aim of this study is to assess the factors impeding the effectiveness and efficiency of Public Procurement Delivery. From literature reviewed, a conceptual framework was constructed to serve as a robust model using dependent variables for Effectiveness and Efficiency of Public Procurement Delivery. A mixed method approach (qualitative and quantitative) was adopted for this research. The data collected was then analyzed using SPSS version 20 for the quantitative section and the qualitative data collected through in-depth interviews was analyzed using content analysis. The study documented that the correlation between independent variables comprising Political interference had a negative influence or outcome on all three (3) dependent variables (Fairness, Transparency & Value for Money). Social factors on the other hand had a weak influence or outcome on the Fairness and Transparency variables but had a negative influence on the Value for Money variables. However, the other independent variables comprising Economic, Environmental factors & Policy had positive influences and outcomes on the dependent variables in determining the levels of effectiveness and efficiency. The study therefore recommended that, this model be applied due to its capacity to measure and test the strengths of the objectives in determining the levels of effectiveness and efficiency.
