Title A name given to the resource The Relationship between Size and Firms’ Financial Performance: An Empirical Evidence from the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource MOHAMMED Musah, YUSHENG Kong Description An account of the resource The goal of this study was to examine the association between size and the financial performance of nonfinancial firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). Specifically, the study sought to; determine the affiliation between size and the firms’ financial performance as measured by Return on Assets (ROA); examine the association between size and the firms’ financial performance as measured by Return on Equity (ROE); and to establish the link between size and the firms’ financial performance as measured by Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). This study was a quantitative study. The study was quantitative because, it aimed to classify features, quantify them in terms of numbers and create a statistical model to test hypothesis and explain observations. The study was specifically correlational in nature because, it sought to explore the bivariate associations between size and the firms’ financial performance. The study was finally panel in nature because, it sought to gather information on the same study units at different points in time. Secondary panel data extracted from the audited and published annual reports of the Ghana Oil Company Ltd, Total Petroleum Ghana Ltd, Starwin Products Ltd, Camelot Ghana Ltd, Aluworks Ltd, Clydestone Ghana Ltd, African Champion Industries Ltd, Benson Oil Palm Plantation Ltd, Fan Milk Ltd, Guinness Ghana Breweries Ltd, Unilever Ghana Ltd, PZ Cussons Ghana Ltd, Produce Buying Company Ltd, Mechanical Lloyd Company Ltd and Sam Woode Ltd for the period 2008 to 2017 was used for the study. Both the descriptive and inferential techniques of data analysis were employed for the study.

Title A name given to the resource The Impact of Economic Indicators on Financial Performance of Non-financial Firms on Ghana Stock Exchange Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mary Donkor, Yusheng Kong, Stephen Kwadwo Antwi, Mohammed Musah, Florence Appiah Twum Description An account of the resource Financial performance is one of the basic indicators that investors and creditors check in accessing the performance of firms. The purpose of this paper is to empirically examine the impact of economic indicators on financial performance of quoted non-financial firms on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). The study focuses on the impact of RealGDP, Exchange rate, Inflation, Unemployment and Interest rate as determinant of economic indicators whereas Sales growth, Company size, Leverage and Efficiency from firms specific are used as controlled variables in checking the effect of these indicators on financial performance of these firms. ROA and ROE were used as proxies for financial performance of the listed firms. The study employed a panel data of 21 listed non-financial firms from the period of 2008 to 2017. The result revealed that Real GDP and inflation have significant positive impact on ROE. On the contrarily, economic indicators used for this study showed no level of significance with ROA. Company size recorded positive and negative significant impact on ROA and ROE respectively, sales growth and efficiency were statistically significant with ROA. The study recommends government and regulatory authorities to come out with good policies that will help boost the economic activities in the country and drop inflation rate since they have the tendency of affecting non-financial firms’ performance. Moreover, management must ensure full utilization of its internal resources by focusing on diversification and expansion since company size, efficiency and sales growth affect the return on assets and equity of firms.

Title A name given to the resource ThePerceived Utility and University Enrolment IntentioninIndonesia: StudentsPerspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource This study investigates the difference between the utility of general higher education (GHE) and Islamic higher education (IHE),students' enrolment intention, and their correlation. Data werecollected using questionnaires. The participantsof this study were 753 students in South Kalimantan, Indonesia.Researchers used convenience and snowballing sampling techniques. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Spearman'scorrelation. This study proves that the level of utility and all its factors (economic and non-economic benefit, probability ofsuccess, and cost) differ significantly between GHE and IHE(Sig0.05). Moreover, it was found that all factors correlate with enrolment intention(Sig0.05).However, correlation coefficients indicate that the costof GHE and IHE is the factor with the weakest correlation (p=0,139andp=0.084) with enrolment intention. The strongest correlation with enrolment intention is the utilityof GHE and IHE(p=0,597and p=0.579)and the possibility of success in GHE and IHE(p=0,614 and p=0.530).

Title A name given to the resource CSR practices of multinational companies (MNCs) and community needs in Africa: evidence of selected MNCs from Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Kofi Amoako Description An account of the resource Very little literature has been written on corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities of multinational companies (MNCs) and community needs in Ghana and Africa. Studies published pertaining to CSR in Africa is still relatively few. The relationship between company size and CSR activities has not been established through research in Ghana and Africa. Many MNCs in Ghana and Africa are striving to paint a picture of their companies as being highly socially responsible due to competition in the global market. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of the CSR contributions of Multi National Companies (MNCs) on local communities. This study also focused on investigating the reasons for the numerous CSR activities by these MNC’s and the benefits that these communities get.

Title A name given to the resource Social media information and student performance: the mediating role of hedonic value (entertainment) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Kwame Dzogbenuku, Joshua Kofi Doe, George Kofi Amoako Description An account of the resource Purpose This study evaluates the mediating role of social media entertainment on social information (content) and social media performance, during the COVID-19 era. Design/methodology/approach Primary data were randomly gathered from 373 students from two top universities (public and private) in Ghana, a sub-Saharan African economy. Data analysis was achieved utilizing the partial least square–structural equation model (PLS-SEM). Findings Social media (SM) entertainment partly mediates the link between social media content and social media performance of students, suggesting that social media entertainment is almost indispensable in creating social media content to achieve optimum performance among tertiary students.

Title A name given to the resource Remittances and domestic investment in Africa: do banking sector development and quality governance matter? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Joseph Dery Nyeadi, Abdulai Adams, Mohammed Musah Description An account of the resource Migrant remittances to home countries have seen a significant increase over the years, especially in developing countries where due to a lack of jobs or unfavourable working conditions, citizens move to advanced countries to better their economic conditions and their dependents in home countries. This has been facilitated by globalisation in modern times. Whereas most previous studies have delved more into remittances and their impact on economic growth, less studies have examined the link between remittances and domestic investment. This study examined the impact of remittances on domestic investment in Africa using a system GMM econometric estimator. Our study departs from the few studies that examined this link by further investigating the moderating role of banking sector development and quality governance on the link between remittances and domestic investment. Using data from 41 African countries from 2004 to 2018, the study discovered that migrant remittances have a direct negative impact on domestic investment in home countries. The study, however, found that both banking sector development and quality governance significantly positively impact domestic investment in Africa. Thus, when we interacted banking sector development and good governance separately with remittances, each interactive term had a significant positive impact on domestic investment. This means that for remittances to influence domestic investment, banking sector and good governance will need to be improved.

Title A name given to the resource Do financial development, urbanization, economic growth and renewable energy promote the emission mitigation agenda of Africa? Evidence from models that account for cross … Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yusheng Kong, Mary Donkor, Cheng Jin, Mohammed Musah, Joseph Akwasi Nkyi Description An account of the resource Carbon emissions from anthropogenic human activities are viewed as the major cause of pollution in the environment. The Paris Treaty came into effect to help minimize the galloping rate of global ecological pollution. The surge in global emissions has prompted other nations to change their environmental regulations to help them to attain their emission mitigation agenda. For instance, China, United States and India have improved their Nationally Determined Contributions they pledged as signatories to the Paris Accord to help them to achieve their sustainable development goals But, despite nations committing to the guidelines of this accord, ecological contamination continues to rise in the globe. To help curb the above menace, a study on the connection between financial development, urbanization, economic growth, renewable energy consumption, and environmental quality of 27 countries from North, South and East Africa over the period 1990 to 2019 was conducted. In attaining this goal, econometric techniques that are robust to heterogeneity and residual cross-sectional dependence were deemed appropriate. From the preliminary analysis, the panel was heterogeneous and cross-sectionally dependent. Also, all the series were stationary after first difference and cointegrated in the long-run. On the regression estimates via the common correlated effects mean group technique, financial development improved environmental quality in the North, South and Eastern regions by 0.56%, 0.42%, and 0.44% respectively. Also, renewable energy promoted ecological safety in the Northern and Eastern regions by 0.24% and 0.08% respectively … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Frontiers Media SA Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=-U-tBVYAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=-U-tBVYAAAAJ:IWHjjKOFINEC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/641b04a55d2e6c6b04f2ec5e588730fb.pdf 8ae5691368f501eecdb09faaf4b22eef Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

An examination of studies on firm competitiveness indicates that market orientation, outsourcing, and technology transfer provide firms with the basis for building capability to succeed in the business environment. Nonetheless, in a developing nation context, the comparative influences of market orientation, outsourcing, and technology transfer on organizational success among foreign and local firms when considered together in a combined framework is yet to be investigated empirically. To gain clearer insights, three pathways through which market orientation, outsourcing, and technology transfer improve organizational success in Ghana are postulated.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mohammed Musah, Isaac Ahakwa, Simplice A Asongu, Michael Owusu-Akomeah, George Oppong Appiagyei Ampong Description An account of the resource This study examines the role of environmental taxes and environmentally-related technologies in the link between natural resources and load capacity factor in G10 nations over the period 1994 to 2019. Using robust econometric techniques, the study reveals that natural resources damage environmental quality by mitigating the nations’ load capacity factor while environmental taxes and environmentally-related technologies promote sustainable environment by increasing load capacity factor. The relevance of environmental taxes and environmentally-related technologies in moderating the effect of natural resources on environmental quality is dampened by extant average levels of natural resources rents which are negative.
