Szybki rozw j technologii informatycznych, wraz z zakl ceniami makroekonomicznymi, takimi jak pandemia COVID-19, przyspieszyl wdrażanie rozwiązań opartych na chmurze wśr d malych i średnich przedsiębiorstw (MŚP). Wśr d tych innowacji księgowośc w chmurze stala się narzędziem transformacji w zawodzie księgowego. Jej skalowalnośc, dostępnośc, efektywnośc kosztowa, zwiększone bezpieczeństwo danych, raportowanie w czasie rzeczywistym, automatyczne aktualizacje i niezawodne możliwości prowadzenia ksiąg rachunkowych sprawiają, że jest ona szczeg lnie atrakcyjna dla MŚP poszukujących wydajności operacyjnej i konkurencyjności. Pomimo tych zalet, adopcja księgowości w chmurze wśr d ghańskich MŚP pozostaje na wczesnym etapie. Niniejsza książka bada czynniki wplywające na jej przyjęcie i ocenia jej wplyw na wydajnośc organizacyjną przy użyciu struktury Technologia-Organizacja-Środowisko (TOE). Opierając się na danych ankietowych od 90 wlaścicieli MŚP, menedżer w i kluczowych decydent w w Ghanie, badanie bada sześc czynnik w determinujących: względną przewagę, jakośc uslug, wsparcie najwyższego kierownictwa, gotowośc organizacyjną, intensywnośc konkurencji i wsparcie dostawc w.
Il rapido progresso delle tecnologie informatiche, unito a sconvolgimenti macroeconomici come la pandemia COVID-19, ha accelerato l'adozione di soluzioni basate sul cloud tra le piccole e medie imprese (PMI). Tra queste innovazioni, la contabilit in cloud emersa come uno strumento di trasformazione nell'ambito della professione contabile. La scalabilit , l'accessibilit , l'efficienza dei costi, la maggiore sicurezza dei dati, la reportistica in tempo reale, gli aggiornamenti automatici e l'affidabilit delle funzionalit contabili lo rendono particolarmente interessante per le PMI che cercano efficienza operativa e competitivit . Nonostante questi vantaggi, l'adozione del cloud accounting tra le PMI ghanesi ancora in fase iniziale. Questo libro esamina i fattori che ne influenzano l'adozione e ne valuta l'impatto sulla performance organizzativa utilizzando il framework Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE). Basandosi sui dati di un sondaggio condotto su 90 proprietari di PMI, manager e decisori chiave in Ghana, lo studio analizza sei fattori determinanti: vantaggio relativo, qualit del servizio, supporto del top management, prontezza organizzativa, intensit competitiva e supporto dei fornitori.
Die rasante Entwicklung der Informationstechnologie in Verbindung mit makro konomischen St rungen wie der COVID-19-Pandemie hat die Einf hrung von Cloud-basierten L sungen bei kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU) beschleunigt. Unter diesen Innovationen hat sich die Cloud-Rechnungslegung zu einem transformativen Werkzeug f r die Buchhaltung entwickelt. Ihre Skalierbarkeit, Zug nglichkeit, Kosteneffizienz, verbesserte Datensicherheit, Echtzeit-Berichterstattung, automatische Aktualisierungen und zuverl ssige Buchhaltungsfunktionen machen sie f r KMU, die nach betrieblicher Effizienz und Wettbewerbsf higkeit streben, besonders attraktiv. Trotz dieser Vorteile befindet sich die Einf hrung von Cloud Accounting bei ghanaischen KMU noch in einem fr hen Stadium. In diesem Buch werden die Faktoren untersucht, die die Einf hrung von Cloud Accounting beeinflussen, und die Auswirkungen auf die Unternehmensleistung anhand des Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE)-Rahmens evaluiert. Die Studie st tzt sich auf Umfragedaten von 90 KMU-Eigent mern, Managern und wichtigen Entscheidungstr gern in Ghana und untersucht sechs Determinanten: relativer Vorteil, Servicequalit t, Unterst tzung durch das Top-Management, organisatorische Bereitschaft, Wettbewerbsintensit t und Unterst tzung durch Lieferanten.

Drawing on two decades of first-hand experience, Ebenezer Kwakye Agyemang offers the first full-length, comprehensive overview of small-scale illegal gold mining in Ghana in order to suggest new, better-informed ways of addressing the economic and social relations that sustain it. As Agyemang shows, this sub-industry has grown into an existential threat to Ghana and other countries in West Africa, contributing to environmental degradation, public ill-health, and institutional corruption. Persistent failures to control it all share a core issue: namely, a lack of understanding of the value chain at its heart, which includes and affects a vast array of actors within and outside the country. In offering a fuller understanding of how this value chain works, Agyemang offers new ways of addressing it, including securitizing the sub-sector, banning certain machinery, and re-classifying it as organised criminal activity. For its original, in-depth coverage and novel solutions, this book is a must-read for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers interested in sustainable development, risk and development, and environmental protection and research management in Africa.

Hark, Hark! Hear the Story of a Science Educator highlights some compelling ideas on science teaching and learning through the author’s journey and includes evolution and revolution in the growth of scientific knowledge. The book discusses views of McComas et al. and Lederman et al. on the nature of science, as well as the learning theories of Piaget (1926), Vygotsky (1978), and Marton (1981). The three theories of learning frame methods in teaching science.The author is well known in the science education research community for her groundbreaking work in student conceptions and conceptual change, particularly as related to phenomenography.Key Features: Helps science educators explore new avenues related to various innovative curricula, teaching, and learning Presents abstract learning theories, such as social constructivism in personal stories and experiences Bridges the divide between the science education community and the general public on significant ideas of science teaching and learning Uncovers relational conceptual change inquiry learning Discusses current socioscientific community-based issues—other-centeredness—through scientific investigation and engineering design challenges
