Title A name given to the resource Application of BCG as a strategic planning tool to assess the sustainability and growth of university programs in a competitive market Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Yusheng Kong, Michael Owusu Akomeah, Kingsley Appiah, Patrick Obeng Danso Description An account of the resource With regards to the competitive environment for consumer demand, it is imperative for organizations to utilize reputed models for tactical resource allocation to different strategic business units and products. The work describes and explains the BCG portfolio matrix model to assess five Ghanaian university programs. Effective implementation of the BCG model helps the institution of higher education to achieve the finest status from the viewpoint of competitive positions in the market. The model helps institutions choose which markets and business units to finance on the basis of two features-competitiveness and market attractiveness; with the fundamental drivers for these factors being market share and growth rate respectively. Therefore, for the survival and growth of the product, the firm needs to adopt some effective and operative strategies, and also invests in areas like research and development which will enhance new ideas. Of course, the technological and innovative aspects should also not be disregarded. These strategies will enhance an innovative brand in the existing market which will help the product gain a competitive advantage. This paper attempts to analyse the business model, BCG and how it can seek to promote sustainability and growth of the university programs in a competitive market.

Title A name given to the resource Déviations des médias sociaux chez les étudiants universitaires au Ghana Social media deviations among university students in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Owusu Tabiri Michael Description An account of the resource Unlike recent research that concentrated on the importance of social media platforms, the current study aims at exploring deviations on social media platforms. This research paper seeks to analyze social media deviations among Ghanaian students. The study adopted a quantitative survey approach by administering an online questionnaire to undergraduate students of the university and analyzing the data using descriptive statistics. Through the method of investigation and answering of questionnaires by learners, all the social media deviations were revealed and classified. The participants of this research comprised 597 level 100 students at the Ghana Communication Technology University. Through investigative approach by means of open-ended questions, it was revealed that the improper use of social media platforms in Africa, particularly, in Ghana cannot be overemphasized. The major findings of social media platforms were put into eight (8) categories, namely: propagation of falsehoods, propagation of profanity, pejoration, promotion of pornography, patronage of plagiarism, using people’s pictures in a very ridiculous and humiliating manner, swift sharing of horrific images and browsing at the odd times even during major functions like state functions and Church services. Despite the numerous deviations on the social media platforms, the marketing or promotion of businesses, the didactical/pedagogical significance of social media as well as its role as the swiftest medium of communication and dissemination of information cannot be overlooked.

Title A name given to the resource Credit risk management system of commercial banks: an analysis of the process Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Kong Yusheng, Li Kaodui, Ayamba Emmanuel Caesar, M Owusu-Akomeah Description An account of the resource Credit risk is the risk that a financial institution will incur losses because the financial position of a borrower has deteriorated to the point that the value of an asset (including off-balance-sheet assets) is reduced or extinguished. The purpose of this work is to expatiate strategies to mitigate challenges resulting from unpaid loans, which could be used further in understanding the components of credit risk management (CRM) system of commercial banks (CBs) in a less developed economy. This was accomplished through the use of both primary (interviews) and secondary (various relevant documents) information from CBs and key management officials dealing with credit management. The investigation proved that credit risk can be managed and minimized when formidable strategic approaches are implemented and adhered to. This implies that the strategy operated by a bank is an important consideration for a CRM system to be successful. Ghana, a less developed economy, provides an excellent case for studying how CBs operating in economies with less developed financial sector manage their credit risk.

Title A name given to the resource Do corporate governance mechanisms and internal control systems matter in reducing mortality rates? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Yusheng Kong, Patrick Obeng Danso, Abdul‐Aziz Ibn Musah, Michael Owusu Akomeah Description An account of the resource Internal controls are critical to guarding an institution against fraud, error, and devastation. They are effective tools for preventing losses and achieving organizational goals. However, internal control mechanisms need to be relevant, because the organization cannot comprehend the effectiveness of the system if they are out‐of‐touch with the operation. Health care control practices are not exceptionally different from what pertains in other industries. The health care organizations require effective corporate governance mechanisms to uphold their operations and performances. These practices assist health care organizations to exhume cynical practices that generate unproductive results and also factors militating against the hospital's goals or objectives. This study revealed that practices such as enhanced Board diligence, Health Professionals on board, financial prudence, and effective communication have the … 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 http://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=TbSlw38AAAAJ&citation_for_view=TbSlw38AAAAJ:WF5omc3nYNoC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/07ec462f42161e4f3d4d86aecf4d443d.pdf b1ca4327bb6ab1f1e9065ce021db6c63 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 EMPOWERING THE GHANAIAN YOUTH FOR ACCELERATED DEVELOPMENT Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu Tabiri Description An account of the resource This article examines practical steps that must be taken to empower African youth for trans-generational accelerated and all round development. The data were generally gathered through questionnaires answered by 150 Ghanaian university students. It was found through administration of survey questionnaires that only a handful of the respondents had entrepreneurial and educational ambitions or goals after their University education. The synopsis of the findings is as follows: Employment focused ambitions-70%, Educational ambitions–20% and Entrepreneurial ambitions-10%. It was discovered that to ensure youth development, nurturing, training, equipping and empowering must be the principal pillars or stages to incorporate and harness tirelessly and diligently. It was also revealed that without equipping and empowering the youth educationally, economically and entrepreneurially, there cannot be any future development. The paper argues that empowerment leads to development. That is, a meaningful empowerment and equipping will automatically lead to sustainable accelerated development. The work contributes to the process of trans-generational development and empowerment that should definitely lead to sustainable national development as well as stressing the only panacea for juvenile delinquency. The paper proposes incorporation of mentorship and empowerment into Ghanaian tertiary institutions‟ programmes, as well as transforming the one year National Service to mandatory Mentorship and Empowerment for all graduates of tertiary institutions.

Title A name given to the resource IDENTIFICATION OF THE ENGLISH DETERMINER SYSTEM AMONG EFL STUDENTS IN GHANA: THE CASE OF FRANCOPHONE STUDENTS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu Tabiri, Ivy Jones-Mensah, Daniel Arkoh Fenyi, Angel Edward Kongo Description An account of the resource The paper discusses the difficulties that students from French speaking countries who are pursuing their studies in a Ghanaian university face in identifying English determiners. This is a qualitative study that analysed the difficulties that level 100 Francophone students who have French as a Second Language(L2) and English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in a Ghanaian university face in identifying English determiners. The data used for the analysis comprised students’ written exercise. The theoretical framework on which this research is based is article-focused theory which is discourse rule transfer propounded by Robertson (2000) as well as the semantic model developed by Huebner (1983), known as the "semantic wheel for noun phrase reference". Pre determiners, central determiners and post determiners were found in the data analysed. Central determiners recorded the highest number of 25 representing 64%, followed by pre determiners with 11 representing 28% and post determiners showing 3 determiners denoting 8%. Based on the findings, some pedagogical measures such as taking into consideration the needs analysis and teaching all the three types of determiners in context communication were proposed as means of minimising Francophone students’ difficulties in English determiner system 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=c6aHdPkAAAAJ&cstart=20&pagesize=80&citation_for_view=c6aHdPkAAAAJ:_FxGoFyzp5QC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/a3b980d31bc3ad358e13a668ec265a9a.pdf 844adfd0534e967e5c2e1da8b5691587 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 Assessing the influence of total quality management on customer satisfaction in the telecom industry: a TQM–SERVQUAL perspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Michael Owusu-Kyei, Yusheng Kong, Michael Owusu Akomeah, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource Total quality management (TQM) has become a reliable quality and customer satisfaction approach that can meet or exceed customer satisfaction. Previous studies have not really tied total quality management in the aspects of SERVQUAL as the major influence on customer satisfaction in the Ghanaian telecommunication sector, thus the need for this research. As customer satisfaction continues to rise, telecommunication customers expect service quality to improve to meet their satisfaction. The quality of service determines the customer satisfaction level in a service industry, such as telecom. Effective total quality management would result in better service quality. SERVQUAL is arguably the model to assess the effectiveness of customer satisfaction in the service industry. The aim of this study is to assess the influence of total quality management on customer satisfaction in the telecom industry from a TQM–SERVQUAL perspective. The study relied on questionnaires to gather data about the TQM services on customer satisfaction. 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. Descriptive statistical analysis was used through the questionnaire. The investigators also ran preliminary tests such as reliability, validity, and multicollinearity tests to ascertain if the received data were reasonable enough … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available MDPI 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&citation_for_view=TbSlw38AAAAJ:aqlVkmm33-oC 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.
