Item Gender-based Discrimination in the Workplace: A Ghanaian Perspective(Acta Commercii (7): 14-28, 2007) Ofori, D.FPurpose and objectives: The ‘glass escalator’ phenomenon holds that men in female dominated proficiency … can rise quickly to the top. However, they can do also suffer discrimination. This phenomenon is widely recognised in advanced countries. Trained, mostly female nurses have been leaving Ghana in droves for greener pastures abroad, particularly the US and U.K., with serious consequences on the health delivery service in Ghana. Conversely, increasing numbers of males are joining the nursing profession. It examines whether male nurses in Ghana enjoy any hidden advantages, and if so, what makes the men successful (even with their limited numbers) in a women dominated field and what the implications are for both male and female nurse.Item The Impact of FDI Inflow on Domestic Firms’ Uptake of CSR Activities: The Moderating Effects of Host Institutions(Wiley Periodicals, Inc, 2016) Nyuur, R.B.; Ofori, D.F; Debrah, Y.This study examines whether foreign direct investment (FDI) inflow helps or hinders local firms’ uptake of corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities in a developing host country. The study further examines the interaction effect of host institutions on the relationship between FDI inflow and local firms’ uptake of CSR activities. Results of hierarchical regression analysis of data from a sample of 227 local firms in Ghana, reveal that local firms’ uptake of CSR improves significantly with an increasing inflow of FDI through knowledge transfer. Host institutions are also found to influence the transfer of CSR activities from foreign firms to local firms. However, when the quality of institutions is very high, the impact of FDI on local firms’ CSR activities diminishes. Research and practical implications of these findings are discussed.Item Internationalization & Economic Growth Strategies in Ghana: A Business Perspective, edited by Kuada, J.
