Title A name given to the resource Capital structure and financial performance of listed non-financial firms in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Karen Awo Harley Kwadwo Ankomah, Frederick Akpali Samena, Isaiah Sikayena, Patrick Ofori-Oppong, Bernard Arpoh-Baah, Emmanuel Boadi Description An account of the resource Capital structure and its impact on firm performance is a key issue in finance, and there are a number of theories and empirical papers that explain this relationship. Using secondary data from listed companies that have traded on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) from 2016 to 2020, the study specifically examines the effect of short-term debt, long-term debt, and total debts on the operational efficiency of listed non-financial companies in Ghana. The study shows that a firm's return on assets decreases as its amount of debt accumulation rises. Also, some firm-specific variables have small but significant impacts on enterprises' profitability. The study recommends that, to ensure that there is adequate cash available for the company's ongoing operations, corporate finance managers should ensure working capital is managed properly and responsibly. Also, in the extreme case where a short-term borrower facility is unavoidably required and must be acquired, the study advises administrators to make sure that the total amount of short-term obligations taken on as a percentage of the capital structure is less than the sum of non-current liabilities and equity in total assets.

Title A name given to the resource Exploring the Factors Influencing Investment Decision of Workers of Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority, Takoradi Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ewuradjoa Ohene-Bredu Peter Besah Avevor, Kennedy Oppong Fosu, Kingsley Aidoo-Acquah, Kwadwo Ankomah Description An account of the resource This research explored the factors which influence investment decision of workers of Ghana Ports and Harbour Authority, Takoradi using a quantitative research approach, with descriptive survey as the design. The population of study comprised both permanent and contract staff of the organization. A total of 254 employees were selected using random sample method, with 61.4% response rate and a set of questionnaire as the research instrument. Frequencies and percentages were relied upon for analyzing the obtained data. The study revealed that investment sales agents, TV/Newspapers, family members’ referrals, social media as well as the Books/Magazine were the main sources of investment information to workers of GPHA. Again, insurance policy is the commonest investment product workers relied upon. Also, safety, risk and returns, liquidity, and diversification factors were the main factors influencing investment decision of workers of GPHA. It is recommended that the Central Bank of Ghana should develop clear measures to protect the premium of investors. Again, the Management of GPHA should periodically organize sensitization and public education programs for its employees on investment decisions in order to increase the level of knowledge of staff members of organization in terms of investment.

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://www.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.

Title A name given to the resource Asymmetric relationships among financial sector development, corruption, foreign direct investment, and economic growth in sub-Saharan Africa Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource K. 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. The study finds that FDI inflows have a significant positive relationship with economic growth for economies with low … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Cogent Economics & Finance 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=QN2MUMkAAAAJ&citation_for_view=QN2MUMkAAAAJ:Tyk-4Ss8FVUC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/90c225b22767644692aef9170e425d3b.pdf d365bbb1a3120f0f72dbb5aefc383359 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 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 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 A Program in Visual Basic for Simulation and Control of Acidic Wastewater Neutralisation System Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource S Fosu, EB Danuba, F Krampah, Theophilus Joe-asare Description An account of the resource The primary objective of this paper was to investigates the use and benefits of simulation for basic instrumentation and process control education. This simulation approach provide valuable solution by giving clear insights into complex systems. A graphic computer simulation program, for controlling and neutralising acidic wastewater has been developed. The simulator (pH-neutraliser) was developed using Microsoft Visual Basic Programming language and process control principles. The program was designed to provide an intuitive interface by correcting and adjusting the acidic pH of wastewater to 7 (neutral pH) before discharge into the environment. The acidic wastewater can be neutralised by alkali reagents like caustic soda or lime. The simulator was designed to operate in both manual and automatic modes during the neutralisation process. In the manual mode, the pH-neutraliser alerts an operator by sounding an alarm and suggests the percentage by which the alkali reagent valve should be opened to add required amount to bring the pH of the wastewater to 7. This is done when the measured value from the pH sensor and transmitter is not equal to the desired value. In the automatic mode, the neutraliser is expected to automatically open the alkali reagent valve to the required percentage to add the needed amount of alkali to make the pH of wastewater neutral. The pH neutralisation automation of wastewater can be achieved with the aid of pH analytical sensor and transmitter, signals, controller and feedback control mechanism.
