At firm level it focuses on trying to identify the key structures and behaviours which enable organisations to renew their business offerings (products/services) and the ways in which they create and deliver them. Product and process innovation of this type requires capabilities both in 'doing what we do better' - continuous improvement' - and occasionally 'doing something different' - radical/discontinuous change. My work aims to improve understanding of what is needed here but also to identify or develop tools and techniques to enable organisations to build and sustain these capabilities. An increasingly important dimension to this problem is the fact that organisations do not operate in isolation. Most activity involves different kinds of relationships with other organisations and understanding how the principles of effective innovation management can be applied to inter-organisational networks forms an increasingly important area of my research. At sector and national level my main interests are in the processes of technology transfer and the design and evaluation of policies to enable these to operate well. In particular I have been working on policies designed to develop a supportive infrastructure for providing innovation support to smaller enterprises – via networking, targeted information and advisory support and through innovation consultancy systems. Over my career I have been responsible for raising over £20m in research funds from various sources to support this work. Sponsors have included the major UK research councils, the Department of Trade and Industry, the Anglo-German Foundation, the National Economic Development Office, OECD, the International Labour Office, the EU and various branches of the United Nations. Current research projects in which I am involved or have recently concluded include the following: • EXploring the Humanitarian innovation system – DFID project with University of Brighton • Supporting ‘eXcluded entrepreneurs’ - consortium-funded project with EU, DCC • Tools for developing innovation management capability – ‘TACITT’ , EU funded programme CV January 2016 Further details of these and previous projects are available. Policy advice and evaluation I have been involved in a number of projects with branches of regional and national government in several countries and for major international agencies. Outside the UK (where I have worked on a variety of projects for BIS, DTI, DIUS, BERR and with the National School of Government) these include work in Australia (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries), South Africa (Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Arts, Science and Culture, National Research Foundation), Switzerland (Ministry of Industry), Thailand (World Bank/ National Science and Technology Development Agency), South Korea (World Bank), India (Industrial and Commercial Finance Corporation), Denmark (Ministry of Research, Ministry of Industry and Trade, Danish Employer’s Federation), Venezuela (National Science Council), Colombia (Andean Pact Organisation), Cyprus (Employer’s Federation).

The conference will also discuss the major obstacles for science, technology and innovation (STI) in the MENA region and help policy-makers to constructs an “ideal role” for STI in achieving sustainable development in the region. This conference will focus on the question what do policy makers actually need to know about the knowledge-based economy and the underlying boundlessness of the concept of knowledge-based economy and whether ‘STI’ has anything to offer policy makers. In doing so, the conference will adopt a holistic approach to critically examine these issues through an interactive discussion and debate by leading international scholars and practitioners in the field and participants from across various disciplines and from various parts of the world. Attending this conference is an opportunity for academics, government officials, policy makers to get together and share their knowledge as a first step toward a transformational plan that they can tailor to suit their unique circumstances for a sustainable future.

  • Working Capital Management and Aim Listed Sme Companies Profitability: a Mixed Research Method Approach
    + WORKING CAPITAL MANAGEMENT AND AIM LISTED SME COMPANIES PROFITABILITY: A MIXED RESEARCH METHOD APPROACH GODFRED ADJAPONG AFRIFA (MBA, ACCA, BSc, Cert CII) A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of Bournemouth University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2013 Centre for Finance and Risk The Business School, Bournemouth University COPYRIGHT This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with its author and due acknowledgement must always be made of the use of any material contained in, or derived from, this thesis. 1 ABSTRACT This research was undertaken to achieve two main objectives. The first objective was to investigation whether working capital management (WCM) is associated with profitability of Alternative Investment Market (AIM) listed Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) companies. The second objective was to investigate through a questionnaire survey the WCM practices of AIM listed SMEs and their effect on profitability from the perspective of financial directors. These two objectives were met by the use of a mixed research method approach. The study employed two research methods by collecting both quantitative and qualitative data. The financial data analysis is based on the annual reports of 160 AIM listed SMEs over a six year period (960 firm years) for the period 2005 to 2010. The findings of the panel data regression analysis show that SMEs with shorter inventory holding period, shorter accounts receivable period and shorter accounts payable period are more profitable. However, no evidence was found that cash conversion cycle has any effect on profitability of AIM listed SME companies.
