Brokering permission under uncertainty: How regulatory sandboxes architect innovation governance
Financial technology innovations challenge regulatory governance by destabilizing the classification schemes, risk models, and compliance frameworks through which financial systems are governed. Regulatory sandboxes have emerged as a prominent institutional response, yet existing scholarship has not explained how they function as governance architectures or why their designs vary systematically across contexts. This study theorizes sandboxes as i…
Agglomeration dynamics and firm typologies in African port-industrial clusters: Evidence from the port of Tema, Ghana
Firm-level behaviour within port-industrial clusters shapes regional competitiveness, yet empirical evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa remains scarce. This study analyses how firms within the Port of Tema industrial cluster in Ghana engage with collaboration, resource access, and innovation dynamics, applying evolutionary, institutional, and network-relational perspectives. A cross-sectional survey of 278 firms within a 10-km radius of the port was…
To Explore or to Exploit? Opportunities, Dynamic Capabilities, and Performance of Maritime Enterprises in Ghana
This study investigates how the recognition and exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities influence small business performance via interactions with firm-level innovation capability and learning orientation. We frame the study within the maritime-sector context and seek to contribute to the understanding of how the interplay between opportunity recognition, exploitation, innovation capability and learning orientation affects the entrepreneuri…
Relationship Marketing and Customer Loyalty in Ghana’s Informal Economy: Does Customer Perceived Value Matter
In this study, we seek to understand the role of relationship marketing in achieving customer loyalty in Ghana’s informal economy. The study further investigated the role of customer perceived value as a pass-through mechanism for the relationship between relationship marketing and customer loyalty. We collected primary data from 229 customers of informal economy operators in Accra. The data was then analyzed using structural equation modeling ut…
Attitude counts: Engaging with rice farmers in West Africa
An international project called PADS promoted participatory learning and action research with inland valley rainfed rice farmers in West Africa. All countries received the same training, similar funding, and the same leadership. Although the staff in Ghana were conscientious and gave much training to the farmer beneficiaries, the Mali staff explicitly encouraged farmers to experiment. Farmers in Mali responded to this favourable attitude by exper…
Experimental By Nature: Rice Farmers in Ghana
A project in Ghana tried to encourage government extension agents to change their attitudes. Instead of merely teaching new techniques, they were supposed to engage rice farmers in a two-way learning experience. The extension agents accepted some of the project philosophy, but they still thought that the goal of the project was to teach new technology to farmers, rather than to encourage farmer learning and innovation. Even so, the farmers actual…
