On November 8, 2015, the Royal Ball Handing-over Dinner & Awards night laid the platform for the 2015/2016 BHJCR Executives to take office. Since then, the executive administration and the entire BHJCR membership have organised, executed and participated in a number of events and activities. These efforts are what have been the building blocks of the administration that established its objectives and paved the way for the birth of another generation of BHJCR leaders.

5.1 Constitutional Review & City Campus Inauguration

The first activity of the 2015/2016 administration began with the rigorous process of reviewing the constitution of the JCR, including the establishment of the City Campus Chapter of the BHJCR.

5.5 Level 100 Orientation

The Level 100 orientation gave freshmen/women of the School a preview of their four years of study. The academic and administrative leadership of the School, along with other members of faculty, had the

opportunity to formally welcome the students to the School and advised on ways to successfully navigate the university experience.

5.6 Final Remarks

Indeed, the 2015/2016 BHJCR administration has come to a successful conclusion. With the acknowledgments of the efforts and support in accomplishing these stated programmes and activities, the BHJCR is indeed grateful to all stakeholders, and requests the continuous support of faculty to ensure smooth successions in the years to come.

In line with our vision and mission of developing global leaders responsive to national and international challeng-es, UGBS has initiated a number of collaborations and programmes with industries. These initiatives with industry offer our students and faculty practical perspectives complementary to the taught and research disciplines. The following are some of these initiatives.

The GBDR is a research-based biennial report on business development in Ghana, mainly at the micro-level. It seeks to provide regular reviews of developments and performance of businesses across various sectors of the economy, and also provide investment outlooks and growth opportunities as well as policy direction.

7. INDUSTRY COLLABORATION

Prof. Aryeetey expressed his elation about the MOU and added that for a university to be rated world-class, depends on the extent of its relationship with industry and its research contribution to industry. Hence, building deep relations with industry is essential. The MOU between the two institutions was seen as timely and beneficial to the University’s international profile. He expressed optimism in future collaborations with other industries, wherein the University becomes a place of solutions.


31

Mrs. Chinyere Peace Almona, Head of the Africa Corporate Governance programme, expressed profound appreciation for the platform presented by the School to run the programme. The Expert Consultant, Dr. Pierce, delivered a brief overview of the tenets of corporate governance.

7.8 UGBS-Executive Development

The UGBS Executive Development Unit (UGBS-ED) exists to coordinate and administer all executive training programmes, research and other consultancy services. UGBS-ED seeks to equip business executives with a contemporary knowledge and skill set to confront the challenges of the 21st Century business environment. Through the identification of the training needs of organisations, the Unit pulls together faculty and associates both within and outside the School with relevant competencies to accomplish an undertaking. Its Enterprise Development Service (EDS) specialises in providing business development, business advisory and consulting services to a wide range of enterprises.

During the year under review, the UGBS-ED organised 25 scheduled short courses, 5 in-house/customized trainings and 2 specialised training sessions. Inclusive of the short courses ran were Supply Chain Management, Effective Leadership in Management and Administration, Customer Relationship Management, and Accounting for non-Accountants, among others. Participants were drawn from diverse organisations and 5 in-house/customized training sessions were held for organisations such as the Statistical Service, and First BanC Financial Services.

Others participating organisations included Friesland Campina, the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning – Liberia, and the International Central Gospel Church (ICGC).

The first of the specialised training sessions was in response to a change in the tax law. The UGBS-ED organised a tax workshop to bring practitioners up to speed on the new law. The workshop attracted over 100 participants from both private and public sector organisations. It was facilitated by Dr. Ibrahim Bedi and Dr. Mohammed Amidu of the Accounting Department. Participants expressed satisfaction with the workshop and urged for more of such capacity building workshops to be organized for tax practitioners to upgrade their knowledge and skill set.

In November, 2015, UGBS-ED won a bid to deliver training programmes for executives from various public sector institutions under the Ministry of Finance’s Ghana Institutional Support Programme (GIPS). Funded by the African Development Bank with a contract sum of GHS 1.2 million, the project aimed at enhancing capacity, accountability and integrity in the management of public resources as well as improving the business environment for private sector development.


33

The UGBS seeks to create an environment that pro-motes cutting edge and policy relevant research for development. The 2015/16 academic year yielded nu-merous research activities, some of which are high-lighted in this section. 8.1 Admission of the African Journal of Management Research (AJMR) into AJOL Database

In the year under review, the School’s academic jour-nal, African Journal of Management Research (AJRM), which is in its 23rd Volume of publication, was indexed in the African Journals Online (AJOL) Database. AJOL is the world’s largest online collection of African-pub-lished, peer-reviewed scholarly journals. The indexing is to improve visibility and global recognition of the

Journal, and to attract quality scholarly research.

8.2 3rd UGBS Annual Conference on Business and Development, 2015

The School organised its 3rd annual Conference on Business and Development on the premises of its main campus from the 5th to the 7th of August, 2015 on the theme, “Business in the Post-2015 Sustainable Development Agenda”.

8.7 UGBS - UNICEF Public Lecture

Prof. David Hulmes, Development Studies, University of Manchester, and an Executive Director of the Global Development Institute, delivered a public lecture at the UGBS graduate campus on the 7th of April, 2016, on the topic, ‘From Millennium Development goals to Sustainable Development Goals; A Transformation or an Evolution’. Prof. Hulmes is also the Chief Executive Officer of Effective States and Inclusive Development (ESID) Research Centre, and a leading international expert on the Millennium Development Goals and the post-2015 development agenda. He is also the President of the Development Studies Association.

Prof. Hulme’s presentation was based on three areas; the motivation to transition from MDGs to SDGs; some similarities and differences in the two sets of global development goals; and some lessons for Ghana on the road to achieving these goals. He explained that the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which comprise 8 goals, were crafted by the UN to drive global development from the year 2000. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), on the other hand, which comprises 17 goals, were formed in 2015 to help achieve the goals of the MDGs as well as other goals set for the future by the UN for global development.

The public lecture was chaired by the Provost, College of Humanities, Prof. Samuel Adjei-Mensah. In attendance were the country representative for UNICEF, Ms. Susan Namondo Ngongi, the Dean of the UGBS, Prof. Joshua Yindenaba Abor, industry players, and graduate students of the UGBS.

At the book launch, Ms. Naana Abban, Group Head of Customer Service at Ecobank, commended Prof. Hinson for the timely book saying, ‘The book is an eye opener for readers, especially service providers, since the balance of power is gradually shifting from organisations to consumers, in the sense that consumers have transformed from being just receivers of services to the life plug of organisations.’ She placed emphasis on the importance of customers in a business and added that any organisation endowed with the rich knowledge in ‘Customer Service Essentials’ has competitive advantage.
