Title A name given to the resource The political economy of conflict and peace: Interrogating chieftaincy and ethnic conflicts in northern Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource AI Braimah, CK Mbowura Description An account of the resource This chapter elucidates the various armed and violent conflicts that characterize and stifle the development of northern Ghana. These conflicts have lingered over a century though armed confrontations have gradually waned and receded recently. The root of these armed conflicts is traceable to the colonial balkanization and amalgamation of ethnic groups and kingdoms into one whole for effective colonial management or administration. Postcolonial governments failed or did little to ?uproot? the seeds of conflict perpetuated by the colonialists. Armed conflicts in northern Ghana are both intraethnic and inter-ethnic with their associated cost to the region and the state at large. Pivotal to the litany of causes of these conflicts in northern Ghana are issues relating to chieftaincy, jurisdiction, and allodial land rights. Resolving these conflicts has so far been elusive.

Title A name given to the resource Nawuri-Gonja relations, 1913-1994 Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura Description An account of the resource This thesis looks at the relationship between the Nawuri and the Gonja from 1913 to 1994. It discusses the arrival of the Nawuri, the Gonja and other immigrants into the Nawuri area and the nature of the relationship between the two groups of people through time. Contacts between the Nawuri and the Gonja date back to the seventeenth century when the two ethnic groups regarded each other as political allies. As political allies, the Nawuri supported the Gonja when eastern Gonja came under attack by Asante in 1744-45. Similarly, the Nawuri supported the Lepo Gonja (one of the three gates to the Kpembe chieftaincy) when a civil war erupted between Kanyase on the one hand and the Lepo and the Sungbung on the other. The relationship between the Nawuri and the Gonja up to 1913 was very cordial and peaceful. In 1913 Karantu Kankarantu Jawula was installed the Kanankulaiwura in the Nawuri area. Throughout his tenure of office, Kanankulaiwura Jawula pursued polices that indicated that the Nawuri were Gonja subjects and that allodial rights to the lands in the Nawuri area resided in the Gonja. It was this action of Kanankulaiwura Jawula and the subsequent amalgamation of the Nawuri area to the Gonja state that brought about a change in the relationship between the Nawuri and the Gonja. There are several feuds between the Nawuri and the Gonja relating to birthrights, allodial rights, overlordship and chieftaincy became the thrusts of their relationship. The local feuds between the Nawuri and the Gonja determined their positions in politics concerning the status of British sphere of Togoland from 1922 to 1956 as well as politics in … Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2002 Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived https://scholar.google.com/citations?view_op=view_citation&hl=en&user=FihyGVkAAAAJ&citation_for_view=FihyGVkAAAAJ:u5HHmVD_uO8C Language A language of the resource English https://www.repository.gctu.edu.gh/files/original/10b8f8de8a2435dd3f38244fbec6b6c0.pdf 6f7fb1637f07e74ccfa58a0b0337dc84 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 Colonial conflicts in contemporary northern Ghana: A historical prognosis of the British colonial factor in the Nawuri-Gonja and Mamprusi-Kusasi conflicts Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura, Felix YT Longi Description An account of the resource Northern Ghana has witnessed phenomenal increases in armed conflicts over the past three decades. Many of these conflicts are ‘colonial conflicts’ rooted in colonial policies, but some others have no reference to colonialism as they are occasioned by endogenous factors. The Kusasi-Mamprusi and Nawuri-Gonja conflicts are colonial conflicts whose historical roots are traceable to colonialism in Northern Ghana. This paper interrogates the British-sponsored political conferences held prior to the introduction of indirect rule in Northern Ghana, with special focus on the Mamprusi and Gonja conferences. The paper argues that the conferences sowed the seeds of the post-colonial MamprusiKusasi and Gonja-Nawuri conflicts.

Title A name given to the resource An Exploratory Examination of the Relationship between Business to Business Electronic Commerce Adoption and Competitive Advantage of Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Chosniel Elikem Ocloo, Hu Xuhua, Stephen Owusu Afriyie, Henry Antwi Asante, Isaac Mensah Adjei Description An account of the resource Business to Business Electronic Commerce (B2B EC) adoption has been growing at a quicker pace in recent times and it has become one of the critical ways to help small and medium-sized enterprises to gain and sustain competitive advantage. A firm’s resource capabilities and endowments influence the different levels of B2B EC adoption that leads to competitive advantage gain and sustained in proportion to that level of adoption. The purpose of this research is to offer an exploratory analysis into the relationship between B2B EC adoption and competitive advantage. A survey of 315 responses was received from managers and owners of manufacturing SMEs in Ghana. A canonical correlation analysis is used to explore this relationship. The results support the view that there is a positive relationship between B2B EC adoption levels and competitive advantage.

Title A name given to the resource Security and conflict: Appraising and interrogating security arrangements in the Nawuri-Gonja conflict in Northern Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Cletus Kwaku Mbowura Description An account of the resource In 1991 and 1992, Kpandai and its environs in present-day Kpandai District in Northern Ghana were enmeshed in a violent inter-ethnic conflict between the Gonja and the Nawuri over allodial land rights. War broke out between the two ethnic groups in April 1991, June 1991 and May 1992. Prior to the conflict, many pre-emptive security measures were implemented to de-escalate the tension. The government also deplored a Police-Military Task Force to Kpandai and its environs to provide security disarm the combatants and maintain law and order. Similarly, measures were undertaken to de-escalate and bring an end to hostilities in the Salaga area when the conflict was extended to the vicinity in 1992 and 1994. The Police and Military peacekeepers showed professionalism as they remained neutral and used subtle measures such as firing warning shots to scare off combatants, disarming the warring factions, seizing arms, and dialoguing with the warring factions to bring an end to hostilities. Nevertheless, the peacekeepers found it difficult to contain, de-escalate and reduce the intensity of the conflict. This paper provides a perspective on security arrangements in the Nawuri-Gonja conflict. By assessing the security measures before, during and after the conflict, the paper argues that the measures were largely unsuccessful.

Title A name given to the resource Holistic analysis of the relationship between capital structure and stock price of consumer staples Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource M Owusu-Akomeah, Joseph Asare, EA Kuma, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource Purpose: This study seeks to assess how capital structure and stock price are related to Ghana's consumer staple sector. Design/methodology/approach: The Ghana Stock Exchange (GSE) has six consumer staple companies listed on it. The stock prices, equity values, debt values, market capitalization, and earnings per share of the listed consumer staple sector companies obtained from GSE were analyzed using Excel and SPSS. The result indicated that between 2011 and 2019, the companies recorded high mean equity value than mean debt value. The correlation analysis also suggested a weak relationship between capital structure and stock price. The fitted regression models suggested that capital structure is not a predictive variable for the stock price. Findings: The study discovered that consumer staple sector companies must pay much attention to the capital structure since it has a weak relationship with the stock price. Because its effect is not easily identified within a short period but accumulates over time which severely influences investors' decision. The study also observed that capital structure and stock price variations pose certain challenges to the companies. Practical implications: Financing decisions play a vital role in the management of firms. Two main funding options accessible by firms are equity and debt. Firms have the choice to go in for one or both funding options. Investors who patronize these stocks or shares gain interest in the performance of the firms' stocks. It is worth noting that equity and debt make up a firm’s financing structure.

Title A name given to the resource Constructive Bearing of Corporate Governance Mechanisms on Organizations: A Review of Corporate Governance Manual in Ghana Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Patrick Obeng Danso, Yusheng Kong, Michael Nana Owusu-Akomeah, Stephen Owusu Afriyie Description An account of the resource The international standard on social responsibility, ISO 26000, describes organizational governance as a system by which an organization makes and implements business decisions in quest of its objectives. The corporate governance systems encompass management procedures that are geared towards delivering objective-based organizational performance, while considering the interests of stakeholders. The systems seek to ensure compliance of standards, regulations, and business rules to which organizations must observe and adhere to achieve the goal of the institution. In view of this, corporate governance manual provides a framework for directors, executives, and shareholders of organizations for protection and accomplishment. When the structures, practices, guidelines, regulations are strong, or stuck to, good governance would be upheld. In essence, the manual allows organizations to follow procedures that serve the needs of shareholders, management team, customers and other stakeholders responsibly and effectively, while meeting the organization’s short and long-term goals. It is generally associated with overarching principles such as fairness, independence, transparency, accountability, honesty and social responsibility. Corporate governance propels these principles into practice by making enhancements to internal controls and operational procedures to achieve organizational objectives.

Title A name given to the resource Crime Combat in Developing Economies: The Dilemmas of the Ghana Police Service Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Awaisu Imurana Braimah, Cletus Kwaku Mbowura Description An account of the resource This paper examines crime prevention in Developing Economies in Africa with special focus on Ghana and the Ghana Police Service. By and large, the Ghana Police Service has been in the news for wrong reasons partly as a result of several researched outcomes and public perceptions that tagged it as an institution riddled with corruption, extortion and embroiled in politics of patronage and clientelism with governments. This image of the Ghana Police Service has had negative repercussions on public understanding of its professionalism and the institutionalization of policing in communities in Ghana. In spite of these perceptions and bastardizations, public confidence in the police in combating armed robbery and preventing crime in general in Ghana has not completely waned. Indeed, records of the successes of the police in combating crime in Ghana abound and public memory of them continues to reverberate in some circles. This paper argues that the Ghana Police Service has been unnecessarily ‘framed’in a negative limelight to the extent that its performance in crime prevention and protection of lives and properties has been glossed over.
