The results revealed that 80% of the Mutual Funds recorded high raw returns with a strong correlation coefficient of+ 0.6089 between the raw returns and total risk. It was also found that the average Sharpe index for all the Mutual Funds was 1.351 outperforming the benchmark index of 0.300 and more so the average Treynor index for all the Mutual Funds was 12.68 beating the benchmark index of 9.59. Moreover 80% of the Mutual Funds were highly diversified with an average adjusted R-square of 59.88%. The analysis concluded that, the money market funds had a superior performance than the balanced and equity funds under all the three performance evaluation techniques.

Title A name given to the resource Protracting Trials of SME Success in Ghana: A Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchical Process Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu Akomeah, Yusheng Kong, Wilfred Kwaku Drah, Emma Serwaa Obobisa3 Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME’s) have over the years played a very significant role in the economic development of most developing countries. Various mitigating factors tend to stifle or prolong their quest to be successful in their endeavors. Hence it is against this backdrop that this study explores protracting trials of SME success in Ghana. A descriptive research design was adopted using questionnaires and a sample size of 1346 SME’s in the Metropolis districts in the four regions of Ghana. Structured questionnaires containing open and closed-ended questions were used in obtaining information from 1346 SME’s in the Metropolis, Municipalities and Districts in Ghana. This method involved three steps. The first step was developing a series of values acknowledged by SME’s. The second step used generalized types to express each value. The third step organized the acknowledged value and indicated their relationship. Based on that study, we developed an assessment model for protracting trials encountered by SME’s in procuring their dayto-day activities. The results designated the main protracting trials encountered by SME’s, and ordered based on their degree of importance, as “Financial Constraints"," Domestic Demand"," Loan Repayments"," Lack of Entrepreneurial Skills"," Equipment & Technology"," International Markets"," Regulatory Constraints" and" Legal". The weights of the first three aspects accounted for 69.3%(Buckley’s method) of the protracting trial factors and 61.7%(Chang’s method). Correspondingly, these three items, present the highest protracting trials to SME success in Ghana and a significant improvement … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available BRITISH JOURNAL OF INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017 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:YsMSGLbcyi4C Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/8640bb03b7bea491b8a57e2ec10d55e7.pdf 2c8c34114c3a2a6f8b4a015b9a500fb7 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 Bearing of credit risk management on financial performance: Evidence from financial institutions in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu Akomeah, Yusheng Kong, Xuhua Hu, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource Effective management of working capital is an essential indicator of a good financial health of an organization. This means managing working capital is important for the smooth running of a firm. Giving the significance of working capital, this paper examines the effect of working capital management on listed manufacturing firms in Ghana based on quantitative analysis of stock market data. A five-year data was sourced from the financial statements of twelve (12) manufacturing companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). The profitability ratios; Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) were computed, as well as the components of working capital, which were used to calculate Cash Conversion Cycle. The Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC) was used to measure working capital, whereas the profitability ratios were used to determine the companies‟ profitability. We observed that whereas 9 firms have statistically significant relation between CCC and profitability, the rest of the firms had an insignificant relationship.

Title A name given to the resource Teaching reported speech through communicative language teaching and principled eclecticism approaches: the case of Ghana technology university college Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu Tabiri Description An account of the resource This research work sought to assess a practical innovative way of teaching and learning English language at the tertiary institutions, particularly in Ghana. Communicative language teaching together with the principled eclecticism approaches was adopted to teach reported speech in English language. Reported Speech was selected as a sample topic because it has been found to be one of the most difficult topics for Anglophone and Francophone students. It was uncovered through this work that acquisition of language skills together with communication is concomitant of social interaction. It was found that the common fault with inexperienced students is to confuse past and present tenses. Three systematic communicative language teaching approaches were employed as panacea for rampant consistent/continuous errors in observance of the sequence of tenses in reported speech in English language. Learners were assessed at the end of three months teaching and learning by reporting a concession statement of Nana Akufo Addo in 2012 to ascertain their mastery of indirect speech. The results revealed that through constant systematic pedagogical measures, learning difficulties are drastically surmountable. Finally, it was discovered pedagogically that adopting suitable method in teaching and learning a language is the panacea for numerous learning difficulties.

Title A name given to the resource Teaching Francophone learners English Vocabulary without Resorting to the Use of L1 and L2 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu Tabiri Description An account of the resource This article sought to propose proper pedagogical means of teaching vocabulary without resorting to the use of L1 (Francophone learners⿿ Mother Tongue) or L2 (French language) when teaching Francophone learners English Language at all levels. It was revealed that adopting context clues or explanation techniques as well as concrete techniques in explaining new words or expressions was the most effective methodological approach in teaching vocabulary. Also, it has been uncovered didactically and pedagogically that the more senses are used to comprehend a word, the greater the likelihood of learning being successful. Thus if learners see a word, (as real pictures), feel the word (touching the thing), taste the word (by the way of eating) as well as hear it used in a sentence to show meaning, it would lead to retention and memorization of the vocabulary.
