                <text>There has been considerable interest in Blended learning (BL) and how it is transforming teaching and learning in higher education institutions. Research in this area is focused on course level issues in relation to how students and faculty members interact and adopt blended learning, with very limited focus on institutional adoption. There is the need for more institutional adoption research to guide how higher education institutions shape policies as they transition from the traditional face to face delivery model to fully blended universities. This study adopts a grounded theory methodology to investigate institutional BL adoption initiatives. A public university in Ghana, which is in its early/adoption implementation stage, is selected as a case study and analysed using the constant comparative analytical technique. The university management took a decision in 2013 to transition from face to face delivery to a fully …</text>

                <text>Blockchain technology, as a bedrock for distributed ledgers, offers a platform for innovation for a new decentralized and transparent transaction machinery in industries and businesses, and the port is not an exception. The inbuilt features of this technology enrich trust through transparency and traceability within any transaction of data, goods, services, and financial resources. Notwithstanding initial doubts about this technology, lately government and large corporations have offered to adopt and enhance this technology in various fields of applications, from social and legal industries, and finance to design, maritime and port networks. In this paper, the authors review the current status of the Blockchain technology and some of its applications. The potential benefit of such a technology in port and maritime supply chain is then discussed, and a vision for the future Blockchain ready port and maritime supply chain are proposed. The importation of containerized vehicles is used as an example to demonstrate how such technology can be deployed in a global port industry. Finally, the requirements and challenges to adopt this technology in the future in relation to, port and maritime systems are discussed.</text>

                <text>This paper investigates the relationship between board structure characteristics and financial performance of Listed Food and Beverage Firms (LFBFs) in Ghana. The study relied on published financial reports of LFBFs for the period of 2001 to 2013. To achieve the objective of the study, we estimated a linear regression model based on panel data which was performed on the dependent variable, return on assets (ROA). Through statistical calculations, we found evidence that board size and Chief Executive Officer duality have significant negative relationships with return on assets, with board composition having insignificant negative relationship with return on assets. However, a significant positive relationship was established between board ownership and return on assets. The study recommends that LFBFs in Ghana should consider having the right mix of experience and skills on the board, but not necessarily considering only a small or large board size. Also, shareholders should encourage board members to own shares in their firms and the few firms practicing CEO duality should work hard to reverse the practice completely.</text>

                <text>This paper investigates the relationship between board structure characteristics and financial performance of Listed Food and Beverage Firms (LFBFs) in Ghana. The study relied on published financial reports of LFBFs for the period of 2001 to 2013. To achieve the objective of the study, we estimated a linear regression model based on panel data which was performed on the dependent variable, return on assets (ROA). Through statistical calculations, we found evidence that board size and Chief Executive Officer duality have significant negative relationships with return on assets, with board composition having insignificant negative relationship with return on assets. However, a significant positive relationship was established between board ownership and return on assets. The study recommends that LFBFs in Ghana should consider having the right mix of experience and skills on the board, but not necessarily considering only a small or large board size. Also, shareholders should encourage board members to own shares in their firms and the few firms practicing CEO duality should work hard to reverse the practice completely.</text>

                <text>The paper examines the effect net profit, firm size, tangibility, firm growth and risk have on leverage of manufacturing and trading sector companies listed on the Ghana Stock Exchange during the period 2005 to 2014. The paper relied on published financial statements of the listed manufacturing and trading companies for the period. Using a panel regression model, the study found a significant negative relationship between firm size and leverage as well as growth and leverage. Profitability established a negative and insignificant relationship with leverage. An insignificant positive relationship was found between tangibility and leverage and an insignificant positive relationship was also found between risk and leverage. The study suggests listed manufacturing and trading companies should apply the pecking order theory in their capital structure decisions and favor internal source of funds for their financing needs.</text>

                <text>This paper presents preliminary findings from an ongoing investigation into the effect of continuous professional development (CPD) on the teaching of university lecturers. We sought to explore the experiences of lecturers who have taken part in CPD and how these experiences had changed their teaching styles. Specifically, the objectives were to inquire into their reason (s) for embarking on CPD, the types of CPD undertaken as well as the changes that had been made in their teaching, learning and assessment practice as a result of their CPD. The study used interviews as well as self-reflective reports to ascertain answers to these objectives from participants‟ perspectives. This paper compares and determines the most important changes that have occurred in the teaching/learning at the Ghana Technology University College and possible future impact that the changes may have on lecturers.</text>

                <text>The function of internal auditing cannot simply be overemphasised; hence the need to explore the effect of internal auditors’ functions on the financial performance of Ghanaian universal banks. A quantitative approach design was used. SPSS and Amos software were used to analyse the data. With 200 respondents, factor loadings, reliability, and validity (CR, AVE, and alpha) tests were conducted. Discriminant validity and square root of Average Variance Extracted in the diagonal was also conducted. Finally, via structural equation modelling (SEM), three hypotheses were tested using indicators of t-test, probability values, and beta values to accept or fail to accept the relationships. Preliminary data was gathered by surveying ten Ghanaian universal banks regulated by the Bank of Ghana via survey questionnaires. Overall, there was a favorable and significant correlation between management support and the auditors' competence and independence. It was concluded that the study met the required goal by shedding light on the role of (IA) functions in the financial performance of the Ghanaian banking industry. Hence, auditors' independence, competence, and management support are critical functions of internal auditing for banks to improve their financial gains.</text>

                <text>Debt financing plays a pivotal role in the success of both large and small businesses since it affect their profitability and solvency. The aim of this study is to examine the effect of debt finance on the profitability of SMEs within the Accra Metropolis in Ghana. The study used secondary data collected from 50 SMEs in the Metropolis covering the period from 2004-2013. Profit margin ratio and return on assets were used as measurement of profitability whiles trade credit, short-term loan ratio and long-term loan ratio were used to represent debt finance. The study found short-term loan ratio to have a significant negative relationship with both profit margin ratio and return on assets. However, a positive insignificant relation was found between long-term loan ratio and profit margin ratio but an insignificant negative relation was established with return on assets. Furthermore, a positive insignificant relationship was established …</text>
