This chapter investigates the possibility of anti-competitive behavior in the Ghana telecommunication sector and determines exploratorily if there is a need for the enactment of anti-trust laws to protect social welfare. The chapter first evaluates the available relevant literature on the subject, assesses the current situation, evaluates the current market structure, and identifies how market power is affecting consumer welfare. Reviews of available literature and secondary data were conducted to establish the relevant conditions for the applicability of such a law. Next, primary data was collected from stakeholders to solicit views on the impact of market structure on pricing and the need for anti-trust laws. Results suggest the Ghana telecommunication sector is open to “cartelization,” which can result in different forms of price collusion despite the existence of a state regulatory body (The National Communications Authority, NCA). The study highlights the Ghanaian consumers' susceptibility to unfair marketing practices due to the possible absence of pertinent anti-trust legislation.

The Impact

The use of interest rate capping as a way of controlling various economic sectors has highly contributed to a continuous decline in the growth of credit to the small and medium businesses and private entities by introducing a distortion in the market which the credit markets have not been able to recover from. This has resulted to the issues of reduced income, high borrowing risks and a high emerging rate of shylocks who are also perceived to have high interest rates. Based on the provided evidence the caps on loan have highly discouraged most of the SMEs from seeking for growth funds. Empirical studies done have found mixed results on the impacts of interest capping on the SMEs performance thus a research gap. The research aimed at filling the current gap by focusing on a research on establishing the impacts of interest rates capping on the performance of small and medium restaurants in Kenya, within Nairobi County. The research was guided by objectives which include; determining the effect of the interest rate capping on the enterprises’ performance, determining the impact of credit accessibility of the enterprise’s performance, assessing the effect of credit availability on the enterprise’s performance. The research was anchored on liquidity and classical models as well as on the theory of credit market. The research will adopt a descriptive research design. The study population was 312 employees.

The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics like frequency, mean, percentages and standard deviations and be presented using charts, tables and graphs. The study also conducted a multiple regression analysis to establish the relationship between the study variables .The understandings will ensure that they are not charged excessive interest rates for their loans. The study concluded that interest rate capping generally had a positive relationship with the performance of small and medium sized restaurants in Nairobi West. The study concluded that credit accessibility among the small and medium restaurants was based on firm characteristics and capacity and enhanced adjustment to adverse environmental shocks, raised amount of product investment and eliminates financial constraints to a great extent. It was concluded that the education level and experience of the respondents, awareness level, firm size and availability of collateral. The study concluded further that the risks associated with repaying, operating environment, status and ownership structure influenced performance of the SMEs since it determined their potential to get credit from the banks and other lenders.

Contextually, fashion involves any product characterized as complementary apparel or wearable accessories, and its export market entails the shipping of the apparels or other wearable accessories that may perennially evolve and change from one country to another.  The objective of this research is to determine the impact that fashion exporting has on the US economy, as well as explore the changing trends in the economy and the overall contribution of the fashion export to the economy. The research designs applied to this study are executive interviews and surveys, which provided the authors with the primary data; this research also benefited from some secondary data. Apart from appropriate and relevant literature review, there is also an evaluation of these research findings. The preliminary findings would seem to suggest that the impact of fashion products being exported to foreign countries and the imports into the US have both negative and positive consequences on the American economy, even though the ongoing debate is to what extent, on either side.

It is often assumed that a greater level of accountability will positively affect the performance of public organizations; however, this relationship has not been studied extensively in public administration. This study provides quantitative evidence regarding the impact of accountability on organizational performance in the U.S. federal government. Specifically, we examine the association between the levels of organizational performance and accountability in three functions of human resource management (HRM)—staffing, performance evaluation, and compensation—as perceived by employees of public organizations. Further, we test whether the level of autonomy perceived by the employees influences the association between accountability and performance. The findings suggest that the levels of accountability manifested in staffing, performance evaluation, and compensation all positively and significantly affect organizational performance. Moreover, employee autonomy tends to amplify the positive impact of accountability on performance in two HRM functions—staffing and compensation.

This paper discusses the communication strategy developed by telecentres and challenges faced by the manager. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effective communication strategy in the extension process conducted through telecenters. The primary data obtained through field visits, observation, and interviews with managers of telecenters. Meanwhile secondary data obtained from writings made by telecenter managers on the internet and the data from the Communications and Information Technology Ministry. Telecenter in Indonesia is designed as a community development center to hold activities such as training, improvement of skills and knowledge as well as the implementation of economic activity. Based on data from Communications and Information Technology Ministry, East Java is the province that has the most telecenters because it was developed with cost sharing between provinces and districts budget. The analysis showed that the telecentres implement 10 stages of Wilson’s strategy with some adjustments. The role of the Office of Communications and Information Technology is very crucial in the planning and management of communication so that there should be capacity building for the officers. The challenges are about the institutional strengthening (organizational structure obscurity) and the unavailability of sources of information in accordance with the level and/or pattern of knowledge in rural communities. Infomobilisator role as an educator is very important given the complexity of the issue and the large amount of information in the internet. Telecenter was considered successful in creating a interconnectedness between individuals and between groups (communities). However, the impact related to increased prosperity for farmers have not been prominent. For the old generation of farmers, information about the price of commodities, seeds, and means of support have not become a real need and a felt need. Therefore, it is the role of infomobili sator to achieve intermediate objectives in order to reach the ultimate goal of poverty reduction.Tulisan ini membahas tentang strategi komunikasi yang dikem bang kan oleh telecenter dan tantangan yang dihadapi oleh pengelola. Tujuan tulisan ini yaitu menganalisis strategi komunikasi yang efektif dalam proses penyuluhan yang dilaku kan melalui telecenter. Data primer diperoleh melalui kunjungan lapangan, pengamatan, dan wawancara dengan pengelola telecenter. Sementara data sekunder diperoleh dari tulisan yang dibuat pengelola telecenter di internet dan data dari Kominfo. Telecenter di Indonesia dirancang sebagai tempat kegiatan pemberdayaan masya  rakat berupa pelatihan, peningkatan ketrampilan, dan pengetahuan serta pelaksanaan kegiatan ekonomi. Berdasarkan data Kominfo, Jawa Timur merupakan provinsi yang memiliki paling banyak telecenter karena dikembangkan dengan pola pembiayaan bersama antara provinsi dengan kabupaten. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa telecenter menerapkan 10 tahap strategi Wilson dengan bebe rapa penyesuaian. Peran Dinas Kominfo provinsi sangat besar dalam proses perencanaan dan manajemen komunikasi sehingga perlu ada peningkatan kapasitas SDM Dinas Kominfo terkait kedua hal tersebut. Tantangan yang dihadapi pengelola yaitu seputar kelembagaan (ketidakjelasan struktur organisasi) dan tidak tersedianya sumber informasi yang sesuai dengan tingkat dan/atau pola pengetahuan masyarakat desa. Peran infomobilisator sebagai penyuluh sangat penting mengingat kompleksitas isu dan jumlah informasi yang sangat besar di internet. Telecenter dianggap berhasil menciptakan “keterhubungan” (interconnectedness) antar perorangan dan antar kelompok masyarakat (komunitas). Namun dampaknya bagi peningkatan kesejahteraan bagi petani belum menonjol. Bagi petani generasi lama, informasi seputar harga komoditi, bibit, sarana pendukung belum menjadi real need dan felt need. Oleh karena itu, peran infomobilisator sangat penting untuk membantu mencapai tujuan antara sebagai jembatan ke tujuan akhir yaitu pengentasan kemiskinan.
