Title A name given to the resource SERVICE DELIVERY IN OPEN AND DISTANCE LEARNING (ODL): QUALITY OF SERVICE OFFERED TO STUDENTS IN ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY REGIONAL CENTRES Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ZIKHALI JOYCE MUKEREDZI TABITHA GRACE WEDA ZENZELE LUNGILE NYAMAYARO BETTY Description An account of the resource This descriptive survey was conducted to establish the quality of service offered by the ZOU staff at the regional centres. A total of 325 respondents drawn from the ten regional centres of the Zimbabwe Open University (ZOU), responded to questionnaires, which had both closed and open-ended items. The study established that staff at the regional centres was generally providing appropriate quality service to the students even though they were working under difficult conditions most of the time. Front desk staff was seen as marketing ZOU very well through quality service, whilst the academic staff was considered humble, accommodating and diligent. However, poor service was noted in registration, assignment marking and communicating with students. The attitude of some ancillary and library staff was also identified as an area of improvement. This service audit was seen as a way of contributing towards the improvement of service in the ZOU and in other ODL institutions.

Title A name given to the resource DETERMINANTS OF BOARD DIVERSITY FOR FIRMS LISTED ON THE ZIMBABWE STOCK EXCHANGE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ZVINAIYE CHIMBADZWA LIGHTON DUBE EMMANUEL GUVEYA Description An account of the resource Board diversity is a topical discourse in firm governance and management. Diversity came up as a way of eliminating discrimination in employment and making sure there is equality, inclusion and affirmative action in the way firms do business. Board diversity has produced mixed results in relation to firm performance. On the one hand, diversity enables good governance to take place, ensures satisfaction of stakeholders and the firm to attain competitive advantage. Contrary, diversity may come with difficulties in communication, boardroom fights and decreased productivity among a plethora of negative contributions. The study investigates the various factors that affect board diversity from a Zimbabwean context. The Zimbabwe Stock Exchange’s 35 firms’ data is analysed to estimate the relationship between board diversity and firm performance. The study employed the quantitative methodology to establish factors that influence board diversity on firm performance of thirty-five (35) firms listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange using panel data collected over the period 2009 – 2015. The major factors that promote diversity are firm size, liquidity, leverage, operating experience (years listed), market share (Tobin’s Q) and being in the service sector. On the other hand, board size, being in the food, financial, real and industrial and manufacturing sectors negatively and significantly influence diversity. Based on the above results, the study recommends that companies should come up with diversity-enabling policies to enhance firm performance.

Title A name given to the resource BOARD DIVERSITY, FIRM CHARACTERISTICS AND PERFORMANCE OF COMPANIES LISTED ON THE ZIMBABWE STOCK EXCHANGE (ZSE) (2009-2015) Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ZVINAIYE CHIMBADZWA Description An account of the resource Many practitioners (Wilton, 2011; Abad et al., 2017; Arenas-Torres et al., 2021; Ali et al., 2022) now acknowledge that the diversity of a Board of Directors is a strength in corporate boards and the adoption of diversity in corporate boards is increasingly gaining steam as a best practice in corporate governance worldwide. Recent developments (Somathlike, 2018; Cha & Jung, 2009; Saidu, 2019; Osazuwa et al., 2016; Darmadi, 2011; Bathula, 2008, Khidmat et al, 2020; Ali et al., 2022; Dedunu & Anuradha, 2020) worldwide also demonstrate that the world is changing by legal writ and through moral imperatives that make boardroom diversity a critical component of sound corporate governance. The board of directors in organisations is responsible for making strategic decisions such as mergers, acquisitions, creating financial structures and executive hiring or firing. In the Zimbabwean situation, the existence of boards has not prevented scandals and economic meltdowns that remain the order of the day just like in other developing or underdeveloped countries. The response has been to institute board diversity policies that focus on independent directors who replace executive directors to reduce scandals. This study examines the impact of board diversity, firm characteristics, and performance of Zimbabwe Stock Exchange-listed companies for the period 2009-2015. The study employed the quantitative methodology to establish the impact of board diversity on the performance of thirty-five (35) firms listed on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange using panel data collected over the period 2009 – 2015. The agency theory and the social categorisation and identification theory are the main theories that guided this study. The board diversity variables used were gender, education, and board executives. The level of board diversity was measured using the Blau (1977) index. Firm performance was measured using profitability, market share, efficiency, liquidity, and leverage. Firm size, board size, the number of years the firm has been listed on the ZSE, the firm sector such as food, financial, services, real estate and food and manufacturing were used as moderating variables in the study. The results show that gender and executive diversity were moderately diversified with mean diversity indexes of 0.32 and 0.36 respectively. Education was diversified with a mean index of 0.60. Using panel-corrected standard errors (PCSE) regression analysis, the study established that the level of board diversity has a significant relationship with firm performance. Board gender diversity was found to have a positive and significant impact on profitability as measured by returns per share and gross profit; efficiency as measured by asset turnover; market share as measured by Tobin's Q ratio and market value; and liquidity as measured by current ratio. Board gender diversity had no impact on leverage as measured by the debt-equity ratio. Board executive diversity was found to have a positive and significant impact on firm profitability and market share while it had a negative and significant relationship with market value, efficiency, liquidity, and leverage. Board education diversity was found to have a positive and significant impact on firm profitability, market share, and liquidity while it had a negative and significant impact on firm efficiency and leverage. Non-board diversity variables were also found to significantly affect firm performance. On the one hand, the major factors that promoted board diversity were firm size, liquidity, leverage, operating experience (years listed), market share (Tobin's Q), and being in the service sector. On the other hand, board size and being in the food, financial, real, industrial and manufacturing sectors negatively and significantly affected diversity. Based on the above results, the study recommended that firms should come up with board diversity-enabling policies to enhance firm performance.

Title A name given to the resource ANALYSIS OF THE PUBLIC TRANSPORT MANAGEMENT POLICIES IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ZVISINEI GWATSVAIRA PROF R. KHUMALO Description An account of the resource Public transport is an essential component of urban life in Zimbabwe, yet it is beset by operational inefficiencies, regulatory fragmentation and safety concerns. This paper examines the effectiveness of public transport management policies by analysing the roles, coordination and challenges of key regulatory bodies, including the Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP), Ministry of Transport and Infrastructural Development (MOT), Harare City Council (HCC), Vehicle Inspection Department (VID), Traffic Safety Council of Zimbabwe (TSC) and the Zimbabwe National Road Administration (ZINARA). A mixed-methods approach was adopted, utilising document analysis of statutes, semi-structured interviews with 20 key stakeholders and a quantitative survey of 120 transport operators and users in Harare and Bulawayo. The results reveal significant dissatisfaction among commuters regarding safety and service reliability, with 75% of surveyed passengers reporting safety concerns. Qualitative findings highlight major themes of fragmented coordination among regulatory bodies, severe resource constraints hindering enforcement and the necessary but unregulated role of informal operators (Mawere, 2017). The study concludes that while a robust legislative frameworkexists, its implementation is undermined by a lack of inter-agency collaboration, inadequate funding and decaying infrastructure (Moyo, 2018). The paper recommends the establishment of a national task force to harmonise policies, increased budgetary allocations for enforcement, strategic investment in transport infrastructure and the development of an integrated policy that Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ZIMBABWE JOURNAL OF BUSINESS, ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2025 Informal Transport Policy Implementation Public Transport Regulatory Framework Urban Mobility https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/c8ecdb6b10217645abdeda0c8e96d641.pdf fa04ba8601cb9da73e0035719bc34e90 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource MUSHIKASHIKA IN HARARE: A SOCIOECONOMIC AND REGULATORY ANALYSIS Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ZVISINEI GWATSVAIRA PROF. R. KHUMALO Description An account of the resource Mushikashika, the informal pirate taxi system, in Harare, Zimbabwe, has become a dominant force in urban transportation. While it provides an essential service to commuters, it also poses significant challenges, including road safety concerns, regulatory issues and socioeconomic implications. This article explores the origins, impact and potential solutions to the Mushikashika phenomenon, drawing from recent studies and policy discussions. This study utilised a mixed-methods approach, combined quantitative data from surveys with 200 commuters and 100 mushikashika drivers and qualitative data from in-depth interviews with 15 key informants, including regulatory officials and transport union representatives. The results revealled that over 85% of commuters relied on mushikashika due to the unavailability of formal transport, while 70% of drivers entered the sector due to unemployment (Zulu, 2019). The findings also highlighted a significant correlation between the lack of regulation and increased road accidents, with 65% of commuters witnessing or experiencing reckless driving (Ndlovu, 2020). The study concluded that a hybrid approach, integrating mushikashika into the formal transport system through structured licensing, digital monitoring and cooperative models, was essential (Gomez, 2019). Such a strategy addressed both the economic realities of operators and the safety concerns of the public. This study provided insights into how informal transport systems can be integrated into formal urban mobility frameworks.

Title A name given to the resource GROWTH, CARCASS AND MEAT PERFORMANCE IN GOAT AND SHEEP BREEDS AND THEIR CROSSES Description An account of the resource he growth performance, carcass and meat properties are the driving factors for efficiency and overall viability of goat and sheep meat production systems. These performance factors are much dependent on genotype, although the overall productive capacity will be influenced by other factors such as nutrition, management, health and other animal related factors as age, slaughter weight and sex. Goats and sheep breeds are diverse and populated all around the worlds’ agro ecological regions culminating in distinctive performances. Some agro ecological regions usually use both pure breeds and assorted crossbred goats and sheep that include characteristics from more than one breed, which might be locally available or exotic breeds. Breed differences in performance characteristics proffer contingency to improved efficiency of goat and sheep meat production as a consequence of growth, carcass and meat performance. Different production systems have taken advantage of various goats and sheep breeds and their crosses for meat production and have designed their management specifically to maximize production on targeted breeds. Pure breeding and crossbreeding have been the most used mode of production to promote growth performance, carcass and meat parameters to serve specific commercial meat market expectations and consumer appeal. Straight breeding has its own share of benefits and shortcomings, on the other hand goat and sheep breed diversity and genetic distance have acted as valuable ingredient which has been exploited in crossbreeding systems in improving growth performance carcass and meat parameters. Different forms of systematic crossing strategy to improve growth performance, carcass and meat production have been designed based on specialized terminal sires breeds to complement performance characteristics of known maternal breeds lines. In this case, appropriate choice of breed to attain optimal growth, carcass and meat parameters as expected by specific markets and meat products acceptable to consumers becomes critical. Unlike pure breeding accomplishment of breeds and their crosses utilization is dependent on their genetic distance among them, as well as breed complementarity, individual, maternal and paternal heterosis that make the proper choice of breeds employed in a crossing system of great importance. Therefore, it is recommendable for goat and sheep producers to acquaint themselves with the production potential of available goat and sheep genetic resources in order to get maximum meat production utility. The present review gives an insight on the performance of goat and sheep breeds and their crosses in terms of growth, carcass and meat production.

Title A name given to the resource RIGHT TO INFORMATION DR. S. B. M. MARUME DR. A. S.CHIKASHA T. M.CHIUNYE Description An account of the resource According to available literature on administrative behaviour in public administration, one of the essential elements of public accountability and control in modern democratic societies is the aspect of right to information. The concept of right to information is used to refer to the freedom of people to have access to government information which means that the citizens and non-governmental organizations should enjoy a reasonably free access to all files and documents pertaining to the governmental decisions, operations, and performance. In other words, it means openness and transparency in the functioning of government. Thus, the principle of openness and transparency looks antithetical to the factor of secrecy in public administration. As rightly observed by Paras Kuhad, the factor of secrecy as a componental part of executive privilege or transparency through right to information which of the two be adopted as a paradigm for governance. Both factors offer public interest as their rationale but for entirely different explanations. The reasonable question that arises is: Can the two factors be harmonized to avoid apparent contradictory explanations and interpretations? It is significant to note that in 1992, the World Bank released a document entitled” Governance and Development”, which document has mentioned seven important elements of good governance one of them being right to information and transparency.

A CASE OF MIDLANDS STATE UNIVERSITY Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource YVONNE MADONGONDA MERCY DUBE Description An account of the resource This study examined the effectiveness of open days as student recruitment tools in higher education, focusing on Midlands State University (MSU). Open days are widely regarded as a crucial marketing strategy in higher education, offering prospective students an immersive experience of campus life, academic offerings, and institutional culture. In Zimbabwe where there are many institutions of education, state-owned as well as private-owned competition for students’ enrollment is intensifying hence state universities are now capitalising on inviting prospective students to their institutions. The study was informed by the following objectives: to explore how open days’ influence prospective students' perceptions of Midlands State University (MSU), to establish the impact of open days on student enrolment rates at Midlands State University and to identify the key components of effective open days that enhance student recruitment at Midlands State University. The study was informed by phenomenological research philosophy and document analysis as a research design. Using a qualitative approach, the study explores the perspectives of prospective students, parents, and university staff. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. The findings reveal the strengths and limitations of open days in influencing students' decisions. Conclusions provide actionable recommendations for enhancing their impact. The study aims to bridge the gap in understanding the role of open days in student recruitment, offering insights that can inform university marketing strategies. After data analysis the study recommends that MSU should also invest in virtual open days to attract students.
