1. Movement restrictions imposed by various governments to mitigate the spreadofCOVID-19 pandemic in the form of social distancing and closure of national and international borders and airports has brought a number of business organizations to a standstill, leading to the decline in growth and market share,especially the hard hit tourism and hospitality industries.

2. The corporate failures and scandals over the last two to
three decades worldwide including Ghana have highlighted the need
for guidance to tackle the various risks and problems that can
arise in the systems of governance in many organizations. As a
result, the implementation of good corporate governance at every
firm has been a necessity. This paper investigates the influence of
quality corporate governance practices on firm performance in
Ghana. A sample size of 22 firms listed on the Ghana stock exchange
and their 5-year data set within 2010 to 2014 were collected for
the study. Regression analysis was conducted to determine the
association between corporate governance mechanisms (board
composition, board gender diversity, audit committee effectiveness,
board size and CEO-duality) and firm performance (return on asset
and return on equity). The result of the study indicates that at
the 5% level of significance; board composition, board gender
diversity and audit committee presence have insignificant negative
relationship with the performance of firms listed on the Ghana
stock exchange. Meanwhile board size and CEO-duality was found to
relate negatively significant with firm performance. The result
again showed that as leverage relate negatively significant with
firm performance, firm size relate positively significant with the
performance of firms listed on the Ghana stock exchange. This study
therefore makes an important contribution to the global discourse
on corporate governance mechanisms prediction on firm performance
in an increasingly globalized world. The study was organized into
five chapters. Chapter one consists of the introduction to the
study; the background to the study, problem statement, purpose of
the study, objectives of the study, research hypothesis,
significance of the study, limitations of the study, scope of the
study,
definition of terms and organization of the study. Chapter two,
deals with the review of existing literature that is related to the
concepts of the research topic under consideration (corporate
governance and firm‟s performance). This chapter also presents the
theoretical and conceptual frameworks of the study. Chapter three
explores the methodology used for the study. It covers issues such
as data sets for the study, time horizons for the study, sampling
design for the study, the variables for the study, statistical
techniques, and data analyses. The chapter concludes with a summary
of the chapter. Chapter four comprises the compilation, analysis
and discussion of data collected from the annual reports. It covers
the descriptive statistics, bivariate correlation, and finally,
presents the results of the regression model. Chapter five
deliberates on summary of findings, conclusion recommendations, and
limitations of the study.
Required: With specific examples from the information above,
critique the abstract highlighting on the major elements of an
abstract.
3. Coronavirus pandemic has affected businesses and all aspects of
our lives globally. As a recent occurrence, it has created the
opportunity to study a “once-in-life-time” moment of how companies
function during an unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic period. Assume
that your supervisor has approved for you to work on the on the
topic “the mitigating strategies and policies used by high hit
business organisation during COVID-19” for your Long Essay/Project
Work. A quick glance through the literature demonstrates that, this
topic has received little or perhaps no attention in academic
literature. As a student of Research Methods, examine clearly the
appropriate methodology to use for the topic during this pandemic
stating clearly the design or approach, sampling technique,
instrument for data collection and analysis giving appropriate
justifications for your choices.
DON'T WRITE BELOW 10 PAGES YOUR RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE
QUESTION TWO:-
METHODOLOGY:-
EXPLORATORY TYPE quantitative research will be done as the research will be carried on the company who is hit by the COVID.
Sampling:-
- a small sample of the company will be taken from different
sector and primary data will be collected with the help of a
questionnaire. the secondary data is also collected which can be
made available by the company and sector reports.
instrument - servey forms and company reports.
Analyses:-
the data which is collected is cleaned and collected in ms excel sheet correlation analysis can be done to make an inference as we have data from a different company.
tool to analyse - ms excel or tableau.
by this, we can know about the company situation, there strategy and steps and policies, etc to counter the COVID situation.
so by means of a suitable tool, we can so various factor analysis responsible during the COVID period which is influencing the company/industry. eg the analysis of the demand before the COVID and after it.
analysis of the behavior to buy the product before COVID and after COVID.
analysis of what is the factor which is responsible for the changed behavior eg fear of contamination, or outside exposure to company personnel, etc.
so a suitable factor analysis for the suitation and correlation of all these factors with the COVID 19 can be done by using the statistical technique in data analysis software.
