Title A name given to the resource Impact of technology on macro-level employment and the workforce: What are the implications for job creation and job destruction in Ghana? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Richard Kofi Asravor, Frank Gyimah Sackey Description An account of the resource Technology whilst creating jobs has destroyed many jobs. The destructive power of technology has led many workers in developing countries, especially Ghana to fight against its introduction. We investigate the effect of technological change on job creation and destruction in Ghana using longitudinal data from the World Development Indicator covering 1990 to 2018. By running the ARDL model, the summative technology-related job destruction is higher in the short run whilst job creation is higher in the long run. Thus, technology has a compensation effect on job destruction and job creation, due to its labour-saving nature. The short and long-run job destruction is higher with increasing importations, interest rate, and minimum wages, however, economic growth, FDI, and exportation increase job creation. Since technology results in higher job destruction, it is important to equip workforce with the technological … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Netherlands 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=dzxWX-AAAAAJ&citation_for_view=dzxWX-AAAAAJ:_Qo2XoVZTnwC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/17467995e9e3632d73ab19da49692a05.pdf 7e164ebfbd1b0caa57f164890f75425e 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 Implementation of Total Quality Management In The Construction of Electrical Substation In Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Edem Yawa Buta-Buama Description An account of the resource The energy sector of any economy provides the backbone for industrialization to foster. A subsector of the energy sector being the electrical substations which serve as both a power transfer and distribution point is very essential to the development of the energy sector. This study therefore focuses on the implementation of TQM in the substation construction sector. The objective was to find out the challenges in TQM implementation and the level of involvement of both top management and employees. Questionnaires were distributed to ten (10) randomly selected companies in Ghana. These were filled by Supervisors and Technical expects to ascertain their knowledge, practises and challenges encountered during TQM implementation in their various companies. The data analysis indicated that most of the companies were familiar with the Quality Control and Inspection of quality management. To understand the necessity of TQM application, it is important to relate TQM application to success stories. This chapter would discuss fundamental of TQM and the effect on construction (substation) projects, whilst relating it to economic benefits of Ghana. An ineffective energy sector will result in crippling the economy since all industries depend on affordable and reliable power supply in order to achieve their set targets Time and cost were the major challenges faced by some of these organisations.

Title A name given to the resource Importance of organizational tacit knowledge: Barriers to knowledge sharing Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Peter Yao Lartey, Junguo Shi, Rupa Jaladi Santosh, Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Isaac Akolgo Gumah, Mansuur Husein, Fatoumata Binta Maci Bah Description An account of the resource This chapter incorporates the relevance of tacit knowledge and highlights some major barriers to knowledge sharing. Knowledge transfer is action through which; information, skills, expertise and experience is exchanged among people in an organization and it is a valuable and tangible asset for creating sustainability, performance and competitive advantage. From what is currently known, knowledge sharing activities occur generally with the support of knowledge systems designed by the board and knowledge managers. It is suggested that technology is one of the tools that support knowledge sharing, though other factors exist, such as organizational culture, trust, leadership and management philosophy, incentives and internal control systems. In this study, the researchers explore possible knowledge sharing opportunities and associated barriers, starting from top management to employees. The main purpose of this chapter is to look at how tacit knowledge affects organizational success. The chapter also covers ways to promote knowledge transfer in order to improve organizational performance and innovation. The discussion elaborated on the significance of tacit knowledge in a way that previous literature does not. It is emphasized that, from a resource-based view, businesses gain competitive advantage when they value and retain their existing tacit knowledge, as explicit knowledge is already known to everyone. According to the study, important variables such as corporate culture, individual employees, technology, and organizational internal factors are potential hurdles that must be examined to minimize the impact on organizational … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ntechOpen Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2022 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=TbSlw38AAAAJ&citation_for_view=TbSlw38AAAAJ:0EnyYjriUFMC 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 Improved Residue Number System Reverse Conversion Algorithm for [[Equation]] Three Moduli Set Implementation in Sensor Networks Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource PRINCE MODEY, Gaddafi Adbdul-Salaam, Alimatu Sadia Shirazu, Mohammad Hossein Anisi, Emmanuel Freeman Description An account of the resource Residue Number System (RNS) is a number system providing borrow-free subtraction, carry-free addition, parallel operations, and one-step multiplication. These capabilities make RNS applications in Digital Signal Processing and Wireless Networks a good choice. Although RNS has proven to solve the problem of carry propagation in binary number systems, it has the problem of reverse conversion, which limits its implementation in digital systems likewise sensor nodes. In this paper, we proposed an RNS reverse converter based on the moduli set {[[EQUATION]]} and the residue number [[EQUATION]]. The proposed scheme re-grouped the moduli set into two sub-moduli sets with their corresponding residue representations. The proposed method in this study requires [[EQUATION]] bit hardware resources for its implementation and also imposed [[EQUATION]] delay in its performance. The proposed RNS reverse converter needs lesser hardware resources for its implementation compared to other state of the art, making it suitable for hardware implementation in sensor networks. The proposed scheme demonstrates reliable and secure data transmission in Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) by using the RRNS QC encoder/decoder scheme.
