This study investigated factors influencing loan repayment performance of fisher folks in Ghana. A survey of 90 sampled fishermen were done using interview guide. Descriptive statistics and measures of central tendency were also employed to describe the socio-economic characteristics of the respondents and also their acceptance to factors such as macroeconomic, MFI related, bank staff related and customer related factors as influencing credit non-payment. The findings revealed that majority of the Fisher folks in the study area were semi literates. About half of the Fisher folks who applied for credit from microfinance institutions did so for commercial purposes while more than a third of the Fisher folks applied for credit for personal purposes. Majority of the respondents agreed that macroeconomic and bank related factors such as high inflation, exchange and interest rate, time of disbursement, time of repayments being too short and the credit being inadequate also contributes to the inability of Fisher folks credit non-payments. It was recommended that, the microfinance institutions should attempt to reduce their lending rates and other credit related charges and provide technical assistance to businesses. Furthermore a concerted effort should be made to keep the rate of inflation at a low level to aid business growth so as to place Fisher folks in a better position to repay their credit.

Abstract
The main purpose of the study is to determine the role and the relationship between Supply Chain Management Integration and Hotel Performance according to the perceptions of the hospitality employees. On this account, it was essential to determine the factors affecting the integration of supply chain management initially. The results of this study supports that dimensions of Supply Chain Management have strong effects on hotel performance. Hotel integration with internal and external customers is realized as important factors in implementing but internal customer integration is the leading factor for empowering the overall integration process in supply chain management integration.

This paper examines the concept of corporate governance from a historical perspective. The paper explores how the agency theory and stewardship theory affect corporate governance practices. The focus of the paper is on public universities in Ghana. An extensive review of literature indicates that the ideals of good corporate governance have been adopted by developing countries since the 1980s. Developing countries differ from developed countries in a wide variety of ways. Therefore, there is need for developing countries to develop their own corporate governance models that consider the cultural, political and technological conditions found in each country. This paper explores the challenges encountered by developing countries in the process of adopting the corporate governance ideals. The authors have identified knowledge gaps in corporate governance that can form the basis for future research projects.

In the Ghanaian society, Corporate Social Responsibilities [CSR] has been a highly cotemporary and contextual issue to all stakeholders including the government, the corporate organization itself, and the general public. The public contended that the payment of taxes and the fulfillment of other civic rights are enough grounds to have the liberty to take back from the society in terms of CSR undertaken by other stakeholders. Some four years ago, what characterized the Ghanaian society was fragrant pollution of the air, of the water and of the environment. Most corporate organizations are concerned about what they can take out of the society, and de-emphasized the need to give back to the society [their host communities]. This attitude often renders the entire community uninhabitable. A case in mind is the Jumoro District area of Ghanaian. This translated to negative integrity and reputation on the part of corporate identity as people perceived this as exploitation and greed for profitability and wealth maximization within a decaying economy of Ghana. However, the general belief is that both business and society gain when firms actively strive to be socially responsible; that is, the business organizations gain in enhanced reputation, while society gains from the social projects executed by the business organization. In modern day however, having seen the benefits and average favorable pay-back period of their investment in CSR, corporations are now seriously involved in this project, which had impacted in the society wonderfully and profitably. This study is therefore, intended to consider the imperative and benefits of CSR on the Ghanaian society. The perceived gap supposedly created is harnessed and investigated for possible resolution, using the oil and gas sector as a case study. The research approach will be both descriptive and analytical. Data will be collected from both primary and secondary sources, relying heavily on the relevant information available from the oil and gas sectors, and other sources. Tests will be conducted using both regression and correlation analysis.
