Title A name given to the resource Management accounting practices and sustainability performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John Kwame Akuma Description An account of the resource This study was designed to assess the relationship between Management Accounting Practices (MAPs) and sustainability performance (SsP) of manufacturing firms in Ghana. The study also investigated the moderating roles of IT adoption, CG and OC in the link between MAPs and SsP. The positivist philosophical paradigm, quantitative research approach, explanatory research design, and cross-sectional study design were employed for the study. Questionnaire was designed to obtain data from managers of 266 manufacturing firms and Smart PLS-SEM was used to analyse the data. The study found significant positive relationships between CS and FP, DSS and EP, DSS and SP, PMS and EP, PMS and SP, as well as SMAP and EP. All other individual first order direct relationships were not significant. Secondly, the study also found a significant positive moderating role of IT adoption in the link between PMS and FP. Thirdly, CG was found to have a positive significant moderating effect in the connection between PMS and EP. Fourthly, CG was found to have a negative significant moderating effect in the link between DSS and EP. However, OC played no moderating role in the MAPs and SsP nexus. The study concludes that, manufacturing firms should implement CS (like variable costing), DSS (like customer profitability analysis), PMS (like variance analysis, and ratio analyses) and SMAP to boost their SsP. They must also implement IT adoption skills and PMS to enhance their FP. Last but not least, they should resource their audit committees as well as implement PMS to boost EP.

Title A name given to the resource Credit risk, deposit mobilization and profitability of Ghanaian banks Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource John Akuma, Isaac Doku, Nathaniel Awer Description An account of the resource This paper seeks to investigate the relationship between deposit mobilization, credit risk and profitability of Ghanaian banks from 2002 to 2011. Secondary data were obtained from financial statements of 17 Ghanaian banks who have operated consistently within the study period. Panel regression analysis is used in the estimation of a function relating to the return on assets (ROA) to measures of credit risk and deposit mobilization as well a few control variables. The results reveal a significantly positive relationship between credit risk, deposit mobilization, growth in interest income, capital adequacy ratio and profitability of Ghanaian banks. However, a significantly negative relationship between year-on-year inflation and ROA was found. With regard to the relationship between bank size and profitability, the results found no significant association between the two. The research suggests that profitable banks in Ghana depend more on bank deposits as one of their main financing options. In the Ghanaian case, a high proportion (64.33%) of total liabilities is represented by bank deposits; attesting to the fact that Ghanaian banks largely depend on deposits for financing their operations. The study recommends that banks should implement effective strategies to mobilize more deposits from both the formal an informal sectors of the economy. They should also invest heavily in credit risk management. Both strategies will enhance their profitability.

Title A name given to the resource THE APPLICATION OF DATA MINING TECHNOLOGY IN THE SELECTION OF PROSPECTIVE UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource George Essah Yaw Okai, Forgor Lempogo, Acquaye William Brown Description An account of the resource Due to the many private universities being established in the Republic of Ghana, the search of prospective students had become very competitive. There is therefore the urgent need to develop effective student searching strategy for the survival of a private university and also to gain a competitive advantage over others. The aim of this paper is to use a computer application to develop a data mining framework based on the Microsoft decision tree algorithm, to generate useful rules for selecting qualified but rejected applications of prospective undergraduate students from a public university. The results can provide decision rules relating personal information of a prospective student with guardian information, occupation and average salary per year. An empirical study was conducted in a private university in Ghana to support their search for students. The results demonstrated the practical viability of this approach and … Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Limited Liability Company Aprobatsiya Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=BDvl0VYAAAAJ&citation_for_view=BDvl0VYAAAAJ:u-x6o8ySG0sC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/0b3418d9b1236ee9ce524166684a9758.pdf 22706478fae9509533238a6ed05fe055 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 Determinants of capital structure of listed oil marketing companies in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Doku, Elvis Adjei, Harrison Adjimah, John Akuma Description An account of the resource Capital structure decisions are the most crucial decisions taken by corporate organizations, as these decisions have massive impact on the overall cost of capital weighted average and the resultant profitability and market value of shares. Most of the researches conducted on capital structure concluded that there is an optimal capital structure that is affected by a variety of internal and external factors. These factors usually differ from country to country and industry to industry. This paper using a case study methodology, investigated the determinant of capital structure of oil companies in Ghana. The study examined how internal factors such as profitability, asset tangibility, growth, size and riskiness of a firm impacts on the capital structure of the two listed oil marketing companies in Ghana (GOIL and TOTAL) for the period between 2005 and 2014 using ordinary least square regression. The findings indicated that all the factors have significant impact on financial leverage.

Title A name given to the resource A simulator for modeling the drying of a bed of cocoa beans Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource AN Chokhonelidze, F Lempogo, W Brownacquaye Description An account of the resource This paper discusses the development of a software simulator to predict the optimum drying conditions of a bed of cocoa beans in a convective dryer. To achieve this, a suitable mathematical drying model based on the Luikov’s model of heat and mass transfer in a capillary porous medium, were derived, to define the drying behavior of the bed. A heat source term was introduce in the energy equation due to the enzymatic browning reaction in cocoa beans during drying. The result-ing coupled heat and mass transfer equations were discretized using the finite difference method based on the notation of control volume. An algorithm was created to implement this solution into a computer program using a complex of Rapid a p-plication development tools which include Visual Studio, CodeFluent Entities and MATLAB. The algorithm was implemen t-ed in MATLAB 7.12 and was later exported through COM into Visual Basic.NET code for further development of the simu-lator in Visual Studio 2010. A logical model of the database was developed using the Graphical Modeler in CodeFluent Entities and later exported into a physical MS SQL Server database. The simulator will serve as a powerful decision making tool, that will be useful for engineers or operators to develop optimum drying conditions to improve the quality of cocoa beans and the final cocoa products.

Title A name given to the resource Banking efficiency in emerging economies: Does foreign banks entry matter in the Ghanaian context? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Daniel Ofori‐Sasu, Lord Mensah, John Kwame Akuma, Isaac Doku Description An account of the resource This study empirically examines the effect of foreign banks entry on banking efficiency scores, using the truncated regression data envelopment analysis model for 25s banks in Ghana, over a 6‐year period (2010–2015). We decompose the efficiency scores into three (technical, cost, and allocative efficiency), and the results indicate that banks in Ghana are marginally inefficient in operating closer to their optimal capacity. The findings show that the input‐oriented model slacks are needed to push an inefficient bank closer to where an efficient bank is positioned. From the results, an immediate and a short‐term entry of foreign banks have a consistent negative relationship with both technical‐ and cost‐efficiency scores whereas long‐term entry of foreign banks shows an inconsistent relationship with the three banking efficiency scores. Thus, the drive towards a positive impact of foreign banks entry on the three … 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&hl=en&user=qGn6xmQAAAAJ&citation_for_view=qGn6xmQAAAAJ:u-x6o8ySG0sC Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/522cfa5da4936803d4344b8d4a4f4b24.pdf 70205df3a0aa025b237823132e6aac41 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
