Title A name given to the resource Analysis of cocoa processing systems and classifications of cocoa dryers Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Chokhonelidze Alexander, Forgor Lempogo, William Brown-Acquaye, George Essah Yaw Okai Description An account of the resource The processing of cocoa involves a couple of technological processes such as roasting and drying which consume lots of energy. The ever increasing cost of energy has created the need for continuous optimization of the technological processes to minimize their operational cost. The selection of the appropriate equipment for each process is the first step to optimize the entire process. In recent times, drying technologies have evolved and have become more diverse and complex. Also, there is the need to meet stricter quality specifications, higher production rates, higher energy costs and stringent environmental regulations. As a result, selecting the right dryer for the right product has become an increasingly difficult task. In this paper, we attempted to describe the technological stages of cocoa processing and classified the various types of dryers available for the various stages of cocoa processing. This is important because the engineers responsible for the selection of a drying system need to be informed on the available equipment on the market, what the key criteria are in the selection process and thus arrive at alternative possibilities before a choice is made.

Title A name given to the resource Journal of Chinese Economic and Foreign Trade Studies Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Doku, John Akuma, John Owusu-Afriyie Description An account of the resource Purpose–This study aims to examine the quantitative effect and direction of Chinese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on economic growth in Africa using a sample of 20 African countries from 2003 to 2012 with data obtained from United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the World Bank. Design/methodology/approach–The study used panel least squares regression, specifically fixed effect model to examine the quantitative effect of Chinese FDI on economic growth in Africa. The study also used Granger causality test to examine whether a causal relationship exists between economic growth and China’s FDI in Africa. Findings–The study finds that a 1 per cent increase in China’s FDI stock in Africa significantly increases Africa’s gross domestic product (GDP) growth by 0.607 per cent, all things being equal. Furthermore, the study finds that a causal link exists between GDP growth in Africa and China’s FDI and the nature of causality is unidirectional. Practical implications–The study recommends that to stimulate Chinese FDI in Africa, free visas must be given to Chinese investors coming into the continent, low tariffs should be imposed on inputs and intermediate goods from China and grant of business operation permit to Chinese investors must be made less bureaucratic. Originality/value–This research has not been presented to any journal for publication and is originally written by the authors.

Title A name given to the resource Green brand communication and the profitability of manufacturing firms: The moderating role of environmental commitment Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Derrick Nukunu Akude, John Kwame Akuma, Emmanuel Addai Kwaning, Peter Besa Avevor Description An account of the resource This study investigates the moderating role of environmental commitment in the relationship between green brand communication and the profitability of manufacturing firms. It seeks to explore how a firm’s dedication to environmental sustainability influences the effectiveness of green brand communication strategies in enhancing profit-generating capabilities, with a particular focus on manufacturing entities in emerging markets. Using a self-administered questionnaire methodology, the survey successfully collected a total of 268 completed responses. These responses were carefully gathered to ensure comprehensive data for analysis. The collected data was thoroughly analyzed utilizing Smart PLS-SEM (version 4), a sophisticated statistical tool, to test the hypotheses and derive credible insights related to the research objectives, ensuring robust and reliable results. The inquiry identified the presence of a substantial affirmative correlation between the communication strategy and profitability. Additionally, a significant positive influence was observed relative to consumer engagement and profitability. Conversely, the relationship between digital communication and profitability did not reveal statistical significance. Furthermore, it was determined that environmental commitment exerts a notable moderating effect on the relationship between communication strategy and profitability. In addition, environmental commitment demonstrates a significant moderating influence on the interplay between consumer engagement and profitability. Nonetheless, environmental commitment did not exhibit a statistically significant moderating effect concerning the … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2025 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=qGn6xmQAAAAJ&citation_for_view=qGn6xmQAAAAJ:qjMakFHDy7sC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/0231fde3a9c06d069381835afac3a3b0.pdf b8cf4b5302653df0bf7f2bae636e98dd 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 Management accounting practices and financial performance of manufacturing firms: Moderating role of information technology integration Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John Kwame Akuma, Anthony Adu-Asare Idun, George Tackie, Emmanuel Addai Kwaning, Kojo Agyekum Asiama Description An account of the resource This study assessed the moderating role of information technology integration (ITI) in the relationship between management accounting practices (MAPs) and financial performance (FP) of manufacturing firms. MAPs comprise five dimensions namely; Costing System (CS), Budgeting System (BS), Decision Support System (DSS), Performance Management System (PMS) and Strategic Management Accounting Practices (SMAP). This research applied the cross-sessional survey design to obtain data from managers of manufacturing companies in Ghana. Data from 266 respondents were processed using Smart PLS (version 4) and analysed using the Structural Equation Modelling. The study found a significant positive moderating role of ITI in the relationship between a dimension of MAPs called performance management systems (PMS) and FP. The research contributes to the literature on MAPs by empirically establishing the role technology plays in the MAPs and FP nexus. These findings extend the literature on the role of ITI by encouraging manufacturing firms in Ghana to implement ITI skills and PMS to enhance their FP. The study recommends that leadership of manufacturing firms in Ghana should blend PMS (like ratio and variance analysis) as well as ITI skills to boost their financial performance.
