Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow activities are seen as a threat to the survival of resource-constrained SMEs in Ghana. Hence, this preconception stifles collaborations between foreign and local businesses. Therefore, to justify the need for such collaborations, we estimate the relationship between FDI inflow activities and SMEs’ strategic decision making as well as the mediating role of interfirm value co-creation using the structural equation model. Using data survey responses of 856 Gha...

Employing gaussian 09 Software, and using ub3lyp/6-311 (3df) method, first do research on iron-zinc alloy electrodeposition, indicating that this method is in good agreement with the experimental data. The result has shown that at the electrode surface, the HOMO of Fe atoms is much higher than that of Zn atoms, the HOMO of Fe atoms is close to the LUMO of Fe² , and these make Fe atoms easy to transfer electrons to Fe² , and the Fe atoms formed on the electrode surface are n...

Environmental and energy conservation pressure have led into intensive search for green sources of energy. One of the options being explored is generation of biogas from cellulosic (biodegradable) wastes. However, maintaining temperature for optimum biogas production is often an existential challenge. The materials/equipment used to control temperature is expensive as most of them require electricity. In this study, we investigated the feasibility of using a locally available material (sawdust) ...
