Managing market innovation for competitive advantage: how external dynamics hold sway for financial services
Abstract: From the complexity theory, it is argued that external factors largely determine the effectiveness of firm-level strategies. Hence, firms must seek to align their strategies such as market innovation with the prevailing business environment…
Nutrition and food
High yielding and cassava mosaic disease (CMD) resistant cassava varieties have been developed by the Crop Research Institute of Ghana with varying compositions and concentrations of starches and sugars. This study characterized four of these…
Modeling the Causes of Power‐Related Network Outages Using Discrete‐Time Markov Chains
In this paper, we model the causes of power‐related network outages in Ghana using discrete‐time Markov chains. We used data consisting of 2,756 small‐scale carrier telecommunications outages occurring in Ghana, with accompanying root causes over a…
Comparing flavor profiles of dark chocolates refined with melanger and conched with Stephan mixer in various alternative chocolate production techniques
The use of alternative equipment for chocolate production is gaining attention in recent times in many countries. This is due to the lower cost of investment and maintenance, multi-functionality, and lower throughput. This study was conducted to…
Assessment of Neonatal Mortality and Associated Hospital-Related Factors in Healthcare Facilities Within Sunyani and Sunyani West Municipal Assemblies in Bono Region, Ghana
Objectives
Ghana’s quest to reduce neonatal mortality, in hospital facilities and communities, continues to be a nightmare. The pursuit of achieving healthy lives and well-being for neonates as enshrined in Sustainable Development Goal three…

Response surface methodology for studying the effect of processing conditions on some nutritional and textural properties of bambara groundnuts (Voandzei subterranea) during …
The response surface methodology and central composite rotatable design for K=3 was used to study the combined effect of blanching, soaking and sodium hexametaphosphate salt concentration on moisture, ash, leached solids, phytates, tannins and…
Modeling downtime severity of telecommunication networks using discrete time Markov chains
Telecommunication network reliability remains a top priority for both customers and service providers. Downtime can result in revenue loss for providers and productivity loss for customers. Thus, accurately predicting downtime severity can help…
