Title A name given to the resource Do liquidity and capital structure predict firms’ financial sustainability? A panel data analysis on quoted non-financial establishments in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Ning Wu, Jingyi Zhao, Mohammed Musah, Zhiqiang Ma, Lijuan Zhang, Yutong Zhou, Yongzheng Su, Joseph Kwasi Agyemang, Juliana Anyei Asiamah, Siqi Cao, Linnan Yao, Kaodui Li Description An account of the resource This study examined the connection between liquidity, capital structure, and the financial sustainability of 28 quoted non-financial establishments in Ghana. Panel data for the period from 2008 to 2019 was used for the analysis. In the study, liquidity was proxied by the current ratio, while the debt ratio was used as a surrogate of capital structure. Additionally, return on equity (ROE) was employed as a measure of sustainability. This indicator was used because of its flexibility as it can be applied to any line of business or product. From the results, the studied panel was cross-sectionally independent. Furthermore, the series were first differenced stationary and cointegrated in the long-run. The elasticities of the predictors were determined through the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator, and from the results, liquidity proxied by the current ratio improved the entities’ financial sustainability. In addition, capital structure surrogated by the debt ratio promoted the financial sustainability of the establishments. Moreover, the interaction between capital structure and liquidity advanced the corporates’ financial sustainability. Size, growth, and operational efficiency were significantly positive determinants of the sustainability of firms, but asset tangibility had a trivial effect on the entities’ sustainability. On the causal relations among the variables, there was a bilateral connection amidst current ratio and return on equity; between cash flow ratio and return on equity; between debt ratio and return on equity; between size and return on equity; between operational efficiency and return on equity. Additionally, a single-headed causality moving from growth to … 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&amp;hl=en&amp;user=-U-tBVYAAAAJ&amp;cstart=20&amp;pagesize=80&amp;citation_for_view=-U-tBVYAAAAJ:UeHWp8X0CEIC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/d4ed8dc80e971f2ab1539321ddd5253f.pdf d22f35925b51cfc55d8b6a73abd10bf7 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 palliative aspects of green innovations in the non-linear tendencies of environmental sustainability-financial globalization nexus among West African states Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Mohammed Musah, Stephen Taiwo Onifade, Elma Satrovic, Joseph Akwasi Nkyi Description An account of the resource A reconciliation of the disagreement on whether financial globalization (FG) affects ecological footprint through the scale, technique and composition effects cannot be achieved without an explicit understanding of the direct and indirect interactions of FG with environmental sustainability. Hence, the novel perspective of this study lies in the investigation of how green innovations moderate the non-linear tendencies in the FG-environmental sustainability link among western African states given the abundance of natural resources and the prevailing pace of economic growth. The core findings are obtained from robust analysis based on cross-sectional autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) technique, the augmented mean group (AMG) technique, and the common correlated effects mean group (CCEMG) advanced estimators. Firstly, the beneficial ecological impacts of green innovations were observed.

Title A name given to the resource Liquidity-profitability trade-off: A panel study of listed non-financial firms in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Yusheng Kong, Mohammed Musah, Stephen Kwadwo Antwi Description An account of the resource This study sought to explore the trade-off between liquidity and the profitability of non-financial firms listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). A panel data extracted from the audited and published annual reports of fifteen (15) selected firms for the period 2008 to 2017 was used for the study. In the study, liquidity was surrogated by the Cash Flow Ratio (CFR) and the Cash Ratio (CaR), whilst profitability was proxied by Return on Capital Employed (ROCE). After undertaken some diagnostic and specification tests to address the basic assumptions of the Classical Linear Regression Model (CLRM), the study uncovered that, cash flow ratio had a significantly positive effect on the firms’ profitability as measured by ROCE [β= 0.1050416,(p= 0.038)< 0.05], but the cash ratio had an insignificantly negative influence on the firms’ profitability as measured by ROCE [β=-0.0805403,(p= 0.306)> 0.05]. It was further discovered that, the cash flow ratio and the cash ratio had a combined significant effect on the firms’ profitability as measured by ROCE [Wald chi2 (1)= 7.43,(p= 0.0244)< 0.05]. In order to ensure continuous survival and success, the firms should not play with the issue of liquidity management. The entities are expected to maintain an optimal liquidity level that will be capable of performing the ‘twin’role of meeting their financial obligations and at the same time maximizing their shareholders’ wealth. This optimal liquidity level could be obtained if the establishments are to meet the standards set by the Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE). Adhering to these standards will help the firms to reduce the cases of financial distress. In other words, the firms should … 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 https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=-U-tBVYAAAAJ&amp;cstart=20&amp;pagesize=80&amp;citation_for_view=-U-tBVYAAAAJ:_kc_bZDykSQC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/c5160fb1764fae3daf54629340abf7fe.pdf 81b10865d6fc0f969d19a02d9bdbb82e 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 Relationship marketing, orientation, brand equity and firm value: The mediating role of customer value—An emerging market perspective Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Kofi Amoako Description An account of the resource This study investigates how customer value mediates the relationship between relationship marketing and firm value, and how brand equity mediates the relationship between relationship marketing and firm value in the telecommunications industry in Ghana. A quantitative research design was adopted. Data were collected from 1,000 customers from four main telecommunications companies in Accra, the capital city of Ghana. Structural equation modelling was used to analyze the relationship among the variables. The findings demonstrate that all five dimensions of RM—trust, empathy, shared value, communication, and bonding—have a significant positive influence on brand equity. The test further revealed that brand equity significantly leads to firm value and customer value. The research findings indicate that the relationship marketing concept and brand equity can be used to improve customer value and firm … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Routledge 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 https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&amp;hl=en&amp;user=hXmr_bYAAAAJ&amp;citation_for_view=hXmr_bYAAAAJ:ufKn5pxu7C0C Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/20d3af264b850b92462ff192709a85dd.pdf 277276ee5e7881859bf103566248320b 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 Decoding Coca-Cola Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Robert Ebo Hinson Description An account of the resource In 2019, the brand consultancy Interbrand ranked the world’s most important brands. Based on the perception of the brand across the world, the value that the brand adds to the company, and the brand’s future plans, Interbrand positioned Coke as the fifth most important brand in the world. Despite declining sales over the last five years, Coke’s worth was estimated at US$63.4 million, a figure that outranked Disney, McDonald’s, and Facebook (Khan, 2019). The salience of Coke is testament to the degree to which Coca-Cola has successfully constructed, cultivated, and sustained its brand for over 135 years. Its longevity and durability also tell further stories about the complex and multifaceted processes that underpin branding. Identifying these different and often obscured processes, and examining the nature of their contribution to the Coke brand, is the aim of this unique collection. As an interdisciplinary collection, the following chapters not only adopt multiple approaches; they also traverse time and space.
