Description
An account of the resource
In the context of volatilities in the international markets in recent times, studies regarding the complexities of oil price fluctuations have focussed on analysing the special fluctuation characteristics of oil prices in different historical perspectives. This study examines the extent to which petroleum price fluctuations under the petroleum price deregulation regime impact on business cycles in Ghana. The study uses the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model with a quarterly data spanning from the first quarter of 2005 to the fourth quarter of 2022. Our empirical results show that price stability impacts positively on economic growth, both in the short and the long run, while foreign direct investment also has a positive effect on economic growth in the short run. Again, we observe that increases in inflation rate and government petroleum revenue negatively affect economic growth both in the short and the long run. To the …

Description
An account of the resource
Nearly five years ago, the Ghana Technology University College (GTUC) responded to a call for proposals by the Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (COTVET) and the Ministry of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation (MESTI) under Component 2 of the Ghana Skills and Technology Development Project (GSTDP). Funding received was used in the establishment of the Technology Research and Innovation Centre (TRIC) for technology and market-oriented research with an overarching goal of transferring technology to the public and industry. Ghana Technology University College is committed to bridging the gap between academia and industry, and the establishment of TRIC transformed this vision into reality. Nine projects were selected from presentations made at workshops by researchers from our academic faculties (ie, Faculty of Computing and Information Systems, Faculty of IT Business and Faculty of Engineering) in collaboration with their private industry partners. Thus, the implementation of the projects entailed cross-institutional collaborations between GTUC, COTVET and MESTI with the involvement of the private sector. This paper discusses the processes and outcomes of the implementation of the TRIC projects with recommendations for the sustainability of TRIC.

Examining people’s participation in corporate social responsibility development process: A study of Tullow Oil Ghana Limited

Description
An account of the resource
Local communities living close to production sites of oil drilling activities, all over the world, have in one way or the other suffered adverse impacts which the exploration companies try to appease through activities of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The key is for each party to tap into the resources and expertise of the other, finding creative solutions to critical social and businesses challenges. This study is to find out the patterns of people's participation at different stages of Tullow’s Cooperate Social Responsibility development process, taking into account the participation of members of the community. The researcher engaged various stakeholders through the use of questionnaires and face to face interviews. At the end of the study, it was seen that practical CSR decision and implementation could hardly involve decisions of the local community in the coastal belt. As high as 90% of respondents had not gotten the opportunity by any Oil Company to either recount their losses or threats due to their operations. Also, almost all the respondents never had the opportunity to make input into Tullow’s CSR decisions regarding CSR projects. Tullow CSR is therefore seen as a strategic approach meant to reduce business risk rather than a participatory platform for both Tullow and the intended beneficiary community.

Description
An account of the resource
This study investigates the adoption and enhancement of digital health through e-consultation in Ghana's healthcare systems. It examines the challenges hindering the successful implementation of e-consultation, including security, privacy and awareness. By conducting a quantitative analysis and proposing a comprehensive model, this study aims to provide insights into overcoming these barriers, to improve healthcare accessibility and reduce disparities through e-consultation. The research integrates the DeLone and McLean IS Success Model, focusing on quality, use, user satisfaction, and net benefits, alongside the Diffusion of Innovation theory of technology adoption. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining literature review and quantitative analysis. Clinicians and patients received distinct questionnaires, covering knowledge, skills, performance, safety, and e-consultation challenges. Univariate statistics provides an initial data overview, followed by factor analysis. With a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value of 0.710 and Bartlett's test of sphericity yielding 1300.894, the data proves suitable for factor analysis. Using Principal Axis Factoring, the study reveals significant correlations among factors: Attitude, Regulatory Framework, Diffusion, and Acceptance. Based on these findings, an E-consultation Framework is proposed, emphasizing robust E-consultation Technology Frameworks. By adopting e-consultation and advanced digital health integration, Ghana can advance healthcare accessibility, diminish disparities, and enhance citizens' well-being within the digital health domain.

Description
An account of the resource
Healthcare services are considered the backbone of society and human wellness. The recent institutional transformations in the healthcare services have enormous potential for research and the
sector is fast becoming an exciting field of inquiry for marketing and management scholars. Given
that marketers are concerned about the creation of value for customers, one of the latest trends in
the healthcare sector in Africa is the application of tested and established principles of value creation in mainstream marketing to the healthcare sector. However, this remains a grey area which
requires a comprehensive understanding and application of mainstream marketing and management principles. As a result, this book presents contemporary and thoughtful insights to address
marketing and management related principles in healthcare delivery within the African context.
Healthcare services are considered the backbone of society and human wellness. In recent times,
these services have undergone extensive institutional transformation (Danaher and Gallan, 2016).
Within the context of this transformation, marketing, service quality and value creation enhance
the service experience of healthcare customers (Osei-Frimpong, 2016). For example, Sahoo and
Ghosh (2016) identified service delivery, amongst others, as a significant contributor to enhancing
customer satisfaction in private healthcare delivery. It is notable that the healthcare industry has
enormous potential and is fast becoming an exciting field of endeavour for marketing practitioners. Given that marketers are concerned about the creation of value for customers, one of the latest
trends in the healthcare sector is the application of tested and established principles of value creation in mainstream marketing to the healthcare sector.
Stremersch (2008) notes that the application of marketing to healthcare is a fascinating field
that will likely have more impact on society than any field of marketing. He further states that an
intrinsically unstable environment characterises this very relevant emerging field, hence raising
new questions. Changing regulations, discoveries and new health treatments continuously appear
and give rise to these questions. Furthermore, advancements in technology not only improve the
healthcare delivery systems but also provide avenues for customers to seek information regarding their health conditions and influence their participatory behaviours or changing roles in the
service delivery (Osei-Frimpong, Wilson and Lemke, 2018). Increasingly, there is a shift from the
doctor-led approach to a more patient-centred approach. About a decade ago, Kay (2007) argued
that healthcare organisations need to utilise marketing tools more effectively for customer information and assistance in their healthcare decisions. This effort can only be achieved by healthcare
2 Health Service Marketing Management in Africa
organisations that promote increased accessibility of care and improved quality of service. Kay
(2007) argued these points from the perspective of the US-based healthcare system described as
“market-based”.
In Africa, the importance of marketing-driven practices in improving the delivery of healthcare
services cannot be overemphasised. The issue of healthcare delivery and management is significant
for policymakers, private sector players and consumers of health-related services in developing
economy contexts. Scholars have strongly argued in favour of marketing and value creation in
healthcare service delivery in Africa (i.e. Wanjau, Muiruri and Ayodo, 2012; Mahmoud, 2016;
Osei-Frimpong 2016). For instance, in Ghana, Osei-Frimpong (2016) advocated for healthcare service providers to understand patient needs or goals and adopt a holistic engagement approach that
would result in positive experiences. Customer experience affects the perception of service quality and acceptability of healthcare services. In South Africa, Hasumi and Jacobsen (2014) found
that long waiting times, unavailable medications and staff who are perceived as being unfriendly
affected the acceptability of healthcare services. In Egypt, Shafei, Walburg and Taher (2015) identified areas of shortfall in service quality as including physician reliability, physician assurance,
nursing reliability and nursing assurance. In the Nigerian context, Adepoju, Opafunso and Ajayi
(2018) found that patients were not satisfied with the quality of service in most of the dimensions
assessed (i.e. assurance, reliability, tangibles, empathy and responsiveness). In a study on factors
affecting service quality in the public health sector in Kenya, Wanjau, Muiruri and Ayodo (2012)
found that low employee capacity, low technology adoption, ineffective communication channels
and insufficient funding affect service quality delivery to patients, thus influencing healthcare
service quality perceptions, patient satisfaction and loyalty. These examples of healthcare service
marketing research, in the present contexts, highlight the need to utilise marketing and value creation tools in the delivery of healthcare services. Furthermore, there is a need for the integration of
service marketing and management principles to enhance the delivery of quality healthcare across
Africa and other developing economies. Therein lies the critical importance of this book.
Drawing on the above discussions, this new book on Health Service Marketing Management
responds to calls for quality healthcare service management practices or processes from developing economy perspectives. Focusing primarily on Africa, this book covers seven thematic areas,
namely: Strategy in Healthcare; Marketing Imperatives in Healthcare Management; Product and
Pricing Management in Healthcare; Distribution, Marketing Communications and Branding in
Healthcare; People, Physical Evidence and Service Quality Management in Healthcare; Process
Management in Healthcare; and Technology in Healthcare.
