Awareness and utilisation of export promotion organisations: Evidence from a developing economy
Popis výsledku v původním jazyce
The aim of this study was to identify the awareness and utilisation of Export Promotion Organisations (EPOs) in Ghana. To achieve this, a quantitative method was employed. Structured and semi-structured questionnaires were administered to MSMEs in the Greater Accra region of Ghana. The study identified that even though the level of awareness of EPOs is high among the study's MSMEs, utilisation is not. Factors such as a low level of education and bureaucracies were identified as the possible reasons for this. I also identified that much of Ghana's export promotion support activities are more geared towards the agricultural sector, with less focus on the manufacturing and handicraft sectors. Hence the reason for the low utilisation in the aforementioned sectors. The study calls for a more comprehensive empirical study of the awareness and utilisation of EPOs in all the sectors of the Ghanaian economy if these conclusions are to be generalised.
