Title A name given to the resource An Analysis of Supply Chain Management Practices on Organizational Performance in the Pharmaceutical Industry in Ghana: A Survey of Some Selected Pharmaceutical Firms in Accra. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Musah Osumanu Doumbia Description An account of the resource The main aim of the study was to investigate the effects of Supply Chain Management practices (SCM) on organizational performance of pharmaceutical firms in Accra, the capital city of Ghana. The research objective was to examine the relationship between SCM practices and organizational performance.Based on the review of literature, various SCM practices and performance metrics were identified. This study relied on questionnaire and interview to elicit data from 119 pharmaceutical firms and 4 senior managers respectively . The data was analyzed using both Partial Least Square (PLS) based Structural Equation Modelling and Nnivo 12 softwares. The findings indicated a significant positive relationship between SCM practices and organizational performance of pharmaceutical firms in Accra. Results from the study suggest that strategic purchasing, customer relationship management, strategic supplier relationship, information sharing and internal lean practices are significant predictors of organizational performance. The mediating roles of customer responsiveness and delivery dependability were also explored. The findings were discussed in the context of previous research and theoretical implications drawn. It also provides managerial insights and implications for both academics and managers to gain better understanding of supply chain management in general and more specifically supply chain management practices as it relates to the Ghanaian pharmaceutical industry.

Title A name given to the resource An Analysis of the Use of Blogging to Solicit Feedback in a Higher Education Unit Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ting Yuan, Gary Natriello, Stephen Asunka, Jeannie Crowley, Hui Soo Chae Description An account of the resource This study investigated co-workers’ perceptions, and use, of blogging as a means for soliciting and receiving feedback on issues related to their work, with the objective of determining how blogging possibly contributes to a participatory learning culture in the workplace. The study involved about 50 staff members in a research unit within an institution of higher learning in the Northeastern United States who use the Unit’s blog to:(1) share information of interest,(2) update work progress,(3) reflect on work activity, and (4) solicit feedback on their work activities from colleagues. The study analyzed records of the year-long blogging activities of these staff members as well as their responses to a survey. Findings point to the possible involvement of blogging in the Unit’s participatory work culture, but reveal mixed correlations between the inclusion of various media elements in blog posts, and corresponding responses. Also, no clear relationship could be established between workers’ perceptions of the usefulness of the blog and their actual blogging activities. Implications of these findings with regard to workplace collaboration and learning are discussed.

Title A name given to the resource An Assessment of Information System Implementation Success on Port Operations at Ghana Ports and Habours Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Felix Adusei Tuffour Description An account of the resource The use of information system in the maritime industry and most especially in Ghana Ports and Habours provides the organisation with a much-improved service as well as efficiency and effectiveness of personnel. The success derived from Information System (IS) implementation is very important and so is the criteria and parameters for measuring or assessing such success. Several implementations of IS is on-going without any reference to an impact assessment of previously implemented one. As a result, most of these implementations are suffering from unresolved challenges of pervious systems. This study however, used an existing model for IS success for evaluating an information system’s success (ISS) at the Port of Tema by applying the DeLone & McLean update IS success model (D&M). The proposed model was adopted to demonstrate how its elements could be applied in evaluating IS implementations and also to support the decision makers in evaluating and developing the information systems. The study adopted a mixed method approach which includes both qualitative and quantitative approaches. 150 questionnaires were administered to collect primary data from port operational staff of GPHA and secondary data of organisation reports were also obtained for analysis. The results indicated that perceived usefulness, ease of use, accuracy, timeliness, reliability, user support significantly affected the use and user satisfaction of an information. It further indicated that an increase in these variables will result in positive outcome from the information system implementation. The proposed model used better explains the interrelation between the constructs and the interrelationship that exit among the construct has a strong statistical significance influence on GPHA employee usage intention.

Title A name given to the resource An Assessment of Leadership Styles on Employee Performance: The Case of Nobel International Business School Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Joyce Amissah Description An account of the resource The study used both qualitative and quantitative method of data collection and analysis, in the form of questionnaire as means of gathering data to answer the research topic that seeks to assess leadership styles and on employee performance, using 97 respondents of the Nobel International Business School. This was obtained using multiple regression analysis. The primary objective of this study is to assess leadership styles and on employee performance. Specifically to evaluate the underlined different types of leadership and its impact on employee performance at Nobel International Business School. The importance of leadership styles on the organizational survival of Nobel International Business School was assessed and different types of leadership styles were evaluated based on their impact on the productivity of employees in the School. The descriptive statistics were categorized under Gender, Age, Educational Level, Department (Position Category) and Years of work. Four main leadership styles were assessed and they are Charismatic Leadership, Autocratic Leadership, Laissez-Faire Leadership and Democratic Leadership. The results shows that charismatic leadership had a positive and significant relationship with employee performance at a 5% level of significance. In contrast, the results obtained suggested that, there was a positive but insignificant relationship between autocratic leadership style and employee performance. In a summary, the multiple regression analysis shows that, the charismatic leadership style exhibited by supervisors positively impacted on employee performance. If supervisors exhibited more charismatic leadership, the employees will have higher employee performance. As predicted, this result supported hypothesis 1 Subject The topic of the resource MSc. in Business Decision Management Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Ghana Technology University Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource September, 2018 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Dr. Esther Asiedu https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/ac42d3e8e9cef53a40c455deabd91712.pdf 065ed947d8e1adec60d658e37fee6ace 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 An Assessment of Lean Implementation in the After Sales Service Of The Air Condition Industry: A Case Study on Cold Temperatures Limited. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Justice Tagoe Description An account of the resource The need for air condition companies to implement lean in the delivery of services is one that cannot be overlooked. Growth in any industry is linked to satisfaction given to customers of that industry. The key to maintaining a competitive advantage in service delivery can be attributed to the implementation of lean techniques and principles. This study assesses lean implementation in the after sales service of the air condition industry using Cold Temperatures Limited as a case study. This assessment is done by applying lean techniques and principles in the minimization of waste. A brief background of lean principles and techniques by various authors is presented which includes both empirical and theoretical review of the literature. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used. Observations were done and questionnaires administered randomly to active customers of Cold Temperatures Limited after calculating the sample size using Yamane’s (1967) formula. Furthermore, data collection was done by walking the shop floor and recording the processing and lead times for service delivery. SPSS and Excel were used to generate tables and charts which helped in analysing data obtained and also identify the wastes within the company. The Pareto chart and cause and effect diagram were also used to analyse the causes of the wastes in Cold Temperatures Limited. The takt time was calculated after drawing the current state of Cold Temperatures Limited with the value stream map. This helped in the determination of the pace of service delivery. A future state map was then drawn indicating the improvement needed areas after which lean technique was applied in the minimization of the wastes identified. In conclusion, the researcher observed the service delivery of Cold Temperatures Limited to be poor due to several factors and therefore recommended the maintenance and delivery preparation departments to be joined together in order to eliminate the waste of motion between these departments.

Title A name given to the resource An Assessment of Security Issues In Cloud Computing (Factors Affecting Its Adoption in Ghanaian Banks) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lois Nartey Description An account of the resource Cloud computing services and other cloud related technologies have enhanced the capabilities, infrastructure and scalability of various IT needs of enterprises globally. The concept of cloud services is to enable enterprises to cut spending on setting up various IT infrastructures and instead focus its investments on core business needs. A research model was developed to investigate the vulnerabilities associated with confidentiality of cloud computing, how it has improved business processes in the banking industry and how the various security solutions are impacting of cloud computing technology.The study focused on three (3) major factors i.e. I. vulnerabilities of cloud based systems, II. security solutions for the technology and III. the potential business benefits of applying cloud applications in banking. The Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology Model (UTAUT), the perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) were used as the research framework which formed the basis for conducting a survey to gather data on cloud computing technology. A questionnaire based survey was carried out and thirty-three (33) out of the expected fifty (50) feedbacks were received from various respondents. The results however asserted that despite the growth and security solutions of cloud computing, banking institutions are not adopting and using the technology as a core banking systems due to the perceived vulnerabilities which pose security threats to sensitive banking data and clients information.

Title A name given to the resource An assessment of the effect of liquidity risk, credit risk and capital risk on the financial performance of five selected banks in Ghana. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Nana Amma S.S. Marfo Description An account of the resource This study is conducted to assess the effect of financial risk on profitability of five commercial banks listed at the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). Profitability was proxied by ROA and served as the dependent variable in the research model. Capital risks proxied by total capital to risk weighted assets, Liquidity risk measured by current ratio, and Credit risk proxied by nonperforming loan to total loans were adopted as indicators of financial risk. They also served as the independent variables in the study while bank size which is a control variable was measured using natural log of total assets (Ln Assets). Secondary data obtained from the financial statements and annual reports of the chosen banks were the predominant source of data for the analysis. The data covered a five year period (2012-2016). Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis were respectively performed on the obtained data. The Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) software was used for the data analysis. The study found from the correlation analysis that a negative but statistically significant linear association exists between profitability and bank size (r=-.014, p=0.024); profitability and capital risk (r=-0.038, p=0.011); and profitability and credit risk (r=-0.124, p=0.013). The relationship between liquidity risk and profitability was positive and statistically significant as shown by an r and p values of 0.037 and 0.021 respectively. This implies that the banks were able to manage this risk in such a way that it tends out to positively affect their profitability. The correlation results were further supported by the regression coefficient results which recorded a negative relationship between profitability and capital risk, credit risk and bank size. The relationship between profitability and liquidity risk is however positive. The result further revealed a significant effect of all the independent variables on profitability.
