Title A name given to the resource Environmental Constraints of Corporate Governance: Evidence in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Obeng Danso, Yusheng Kong, Michael Owusu Akomeah, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource The pertinence of corporate governance doctrines in the management of corporate organisations cannot be overlooked (underestimated). The increasing influence of principles of corporate governance around the world has been greatly linked to the recent corporate frauds and scandals. These frauds and scandals are largely the outcome from the failure of authorities of countries to effectively implement the legal and regulatory frameworks pertaining to corporate governance. Ghana is archetypal in regards to the failure of authorities to enforce the laws and regulations in relation to corporate governance. During the enforcement of the laws and regulations of corporate governance, some vitally important issues are either overlooked or deliberately deserted. This paper attempts to examine the legal and regulatory framework of Ghana in respect of corporate governance and points out the importance of conforming to good corporate governance. It also accentuates prevailing issues of corporate governance practice in Ghana. It finally makes some recommendations, which are considered the major contribution of this paper.

Title A name given to the resource Socioeconomic Analysis of Improper Solid Waste Disposal in Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource SAMUEL OSEI Afriyie Description An account of the resource solid waste disposal methods by most Ghanaians has necessitated several interventions of which the polluter pays principle is key. However, its implementation has not yielded the desired results yet, since the exploration of the main factors underlying the use of improper solid waste disposal (SWD) methods as well as the decision to pay for SWD has not been exhaustive. This thesis therefore seeks to analyze the socioeconomic determinants of improper SWD methods and the decision to pay for SWD in Ghana. In view of this, the seventh round of the Ghana Living Standards Survey was used as the data source for the thesis employing the utility theory framework. Results from the logistic regression showed that, the choice of improper SWD methods is significantly influenced by the gender, age and level of education of a household head, as well as the geographical location, wealth status, type of dwelling and the occupancy status of a household. Renting and rent-free occupants were found to be 8% and 6.4% less likely to adopt improper SWD methods as compared to owner occupant households. With respect to the decision to pay for SWD, the gender, age and level of education of a household head, the geographical location, size, wealth status, type of dwelling and the occupancy status of a household were the significant determinants Evidently, there is a 30.2% likelihood for residents of urban areas to pay for SWD relative to those in the rural areas.. In light of the findings, the thesis recommends the strategic development and implementation of a rural … 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=TbSlw38AAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=TbSlw38AAAAJ:9ZlFYXVOiuMC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/c57736855d4e385195f233dfbcddd232.pdf 4e847f13959f74d23d1a09d024cd5efb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Populations which previously had limited or no access to modern technological advances now enjoy product and service novelty, especially within the telecommunication sector. The leapfrogged generations of technology made them seize the opportunity for improved living conditions through mobile telephony. This paper seeks to analyze the performance of telcos in an emerging market, using some selected telecommunication companies in Ghana as a case study. The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of corporate governance on the implementation of total quality management (TQM) policies in the telecom companies. This investigation provides a basis by which telecommunication companies can configure, generate and develop consistent, flexible and adoptive corporate governance features and total quality management (TQM). A self-completion questionnaire was administered to customers and employees of MTN Ghana and Vodafone Ghana. Both companies operate with the same procedures and equipment, hence the need to use the same apparatus for all contacted customers and employees. There were 800 respondents from both companies’ employees and customers, although 850 questionnaires were administered. The investigators also did run preliminary tests such as reliability, validity, and multicollinearity tests to ascertain if the received data were reasonable enough for the research, and would fit the expected model. The data collected were analyzed and inference drawn … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International Journal of Research and Innovation in Social Science (IJRISS) Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2023 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=TbSlw38AAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=TbSlw38AAAAJ:4TOpqqG69KYC 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 The Role of Microfinance in Promoting Women's Empowerment: A Socioeconomic Approach Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Gertrude Amoakohene, Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Joseph Nkyi, Mohammed Musah, Peter Yao Lartey Description An account of the resource Women's economic empowerment is a technique meant to give them more authority over decisions, increase their income, and own assets. Since empowering women is essential to achieving the goals of development and reducing poverty, numerous attempts have been made to address this issue. Microfinance institutions (MFIs) have emerged as key tools over the past few decades to not only address poverty, but also to empower women in particular. It is believed that by employing microfinance, which has been shown to be one of the most effective approaches, women may gain some kind of personal empowerment. The primary objective of this research is to analyse how microfinance affects women's economic empowerment. Microfinance significantly boosts women's independent revenues, their levels of asset ownership, and their savings, which all contribute to their economic empowerment.

Title A name given to the resource Holistic analysis of the relationship between capital structure and stock price of consumer staples Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource M Owusu-Akomeah, Joseph Asare, EA Kuma, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource Purpose: This study seeks to assess how capital structure and stock price are related to Ghana's consumer staple sector. Design/methodology/approach: The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) has six consumer staple companies listed on it. The stock prices, equity values, debt values, market capitalization, and earnings per share of the listed consumer staple sector companies obtained from GSE were analyzed using Excel and SPSS. The result indicated that between 2011 and 2019, the companies recorded high mean equity value than mean debt value. The correlation analysis also suggested a weak relationship between capital structure and stock price. The fitted regression models suggested that capital structure is not a predictive variable for the stock price. Findings: The study discovered that consumer staple sector companies must pay much attention to the capital structure since it has a weak relationship with the stock price. Because its effect is not easily identified within a short period but accumulates over time which severely influences investors' decision. The study also observed that capital structure and stock price variations pose certain challenges to the companies. Practical implications: Financing decisions play a vital role in the management of firms. Two main funding options accessible by firms are equity and debt. Firms have the choice to go in for one or both funding options. Investors who patronize these stocks or shares gain interest in the performance of the firms' stocks. It is worth noting that equity and debt make up a firm’s financing structure.

Title A name given to the resource Constructive Bearing of Corporate Governance Mechanisms on Organizations: A Review of Corporate Governance Manual in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Obeng Danso, Yusheng Kong, Michael Nana Owusu-Akomeah, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource The international standard on social responsibility, ISO 26000, describes organizational governance as a system by which an organization makes and implements business decisions in quest of its objectives. The corporate governance systems encompass management procedures that are geared towards delivering objective-based organizational performance, while considering the interests of stakeholders. The systems seek to ensure compliance of standards, regulations, and business rules to which organizations must observe and adhere to achieve the goal of the institution. In view of this, corporate governance manual provides a framework for directors, executives, and shareholders of organizations for protection and accomplishment. When the structures, practices, guidelines, regulations are strong, or stuck to, good governance would be upheld. In essence, the manual allows organizations to follow procedures that serve the needs of shareholders, management team, customers and other stakeholders responsibly and effectively, while meeting the organization’s short and long-term goals. It is generally associated with overarching principles such as fairness, independence, transparency, accountability, honesty and social responsibility. Corporate governance propels these principles into practice by making enhancements to internal controls and operational procedures to achieve organizational objectives.
