“…Low income derived from SH has always been of concern to property developers. Akindele (2011) and Asare-Kyire et al (2016) also identified low income from SH as the main factor which deters developers from venturing into SHS. The low income derived from SH makes investment not to be viable in the long run.…”

Purpose Student housing (SH) is very critical in the learning process of students, as it can affect their academic performance. It has been noted that tertiary institutions in Botswana are failing to provide adequate accommodation to cater the growing student population. Despite the shortage of housing, private property developers are not keen on participating in SH provision. The purpose of this study is to therefore assess the factors influencing minimum participation of property developers in SH provision in Gaborone, Botswana. Design/methodology/approach Data for this study was collected from both primary and secondary sources. Primary data was collected from property developers in Gaborone through the use of a questionnaire. Secondary data on the other hand was collected from books, reports and journal articles. Data was analysed by using Statistical Package for Social Sciences and Microsoft Excel. Findings The findings from the study revealed that the factors that affect property developers participation in SH provision are low income derived from SH, limitations in multi sectoral approach, poor site location, lack of partnerships between developers and universities, high maintenance and renovation costs and lack of policies and legislation regarding SH. The factors that highly had an impact on property developers are financial factors, followed by institutional factors, demographic factors, physical factors and, finally, human factors. A private–public partnerships model aimed at enhancing developers’ participation in SH provision was developed in the study. Research limitations/implications The small sample size used has had a negative impact on the results, as no factors were identified as limiting property developers’ participation in SH. Originality/value This paper extends the knowledge on factors influencing property developers’ minimal participation in SH provision by coming up with a model that could enhance their participation in SH provision.

“…In addition, this study contributes to the application of systems theory in the examination of e‐commerce in real estate development. The study focuses on Ghana because it is one of the Sub‐Sahara African countries with a high foreign student population in its higher institutions of learning (Asare‐Kyire, Appienti, & Kusi, 2016), which trend has caused an increased investment in student housing (Atuahene, 2014) and the application of e‐commerce. The study is presented in four sections.…”

Globalization and its attendant expansion of businesses continue to create opportunities for the use of e‐commerce. E‐commerce is noted for contributing to cost reduction, capital expansion, efficiency and high client satisfaction in businesses. Unfortunately, there is dissatisfaction among investors in student housing with the application of e‐commerce in Ghana. This study examined the key factors influencing satisfaction among investors in student housing with e‐commerce platforms and traded products in Ghana. A concurrent mixed design based on survey and interviews, as well as an Exploratory Factor and thematic analyses of data were used. Whereas security and interface features were key factors influencing investors' satisfaction with e‐commerce platforms, product availability and quality of packaging were key factors influencing investors' satisfaction with traded products. It would be worthwhile for website designers to consider these factors in designing websites. Also, by considering these factors, suppliers can increase their revenues. Furthermore, the results of this exploratory factor analysis means that further confirmatory studies may be conducted to validate the findings.
