Why is it important?

The study's findings reveal that inventory management practices notably strategic supplier partnerships have a significant positive effect on the operational performance of manufacturing firms in Ghana. As such, the findings would inform the existing policies and practices of manufacturing firms in Ghana with respect to promoting inventory management and overall performance levels.

Perspectives

Although this article concentrated on manufacturing firms in Ghana, it is also expected to inform the policies and practices of other manufacturing firms in other developing economies across the globe. Firms in some advanced economies can also rely on the study's findings to make valuable decisions whenever inventory management is concerned.
