Commodity Trade Potential In Tanzania: What Went Wrong With The Mineral Sector?, Petro Sauti Magai
Commodity Trade Potential In Tanzania: What Went Wrong With The Mineral Sector?, Petro Sauti Magai
Business Management Review
This paper analyses the facts causing the mineral sector to make less of a contribution to the country ' s economy. Although the sector accounts for nearly half of the country ' s exports, ordinary Tanzanians are not benefiting from this because the government has implemented tax laws that overly favour multinational mining companies. Companies claim to make loss and so avoid paying taxes although they still invest in the country The system is also perceived to be lacking transparency. It is argued that the combined loss to the country is a result of low royalty rates, unpaid corporation taxes …
Making Business Process Reengineering (Bpr) Programmes Work: Case Of Kamal Steel Company, George S. Mwaluko
Making Business Process Reengineering (Bpr) Programmes Work: Case Of Kamal Steel Company, George S. Mwaluko
Business Management Review
It has been shown that improvement in sales revenue obtained through the implementation of Business Process Reengineering (BPR) programmes is ten times the improvement realised through the implementation of Total Quality Management programmes. However, the failure rate of BPR programmes has been shown to be high, about 70%. Most writers have confined themselves to identifying the causes of the failure of BPR programmes. The author argues that the high failure rate of BPR programmes is caused by the fact that the development of their implementation frameworks is not based on the causes of failure of BPR programmes. In this paper …
Determination Of Level Of Imports In The Construction Industry In Tanzania, Robert Suphian
Determination Of Level Of Imports In The Construction Industry In Tanzania, Robert Suphian
Business Management Review
The construction industry has to be competitive and be able to undertake most of the construction projects in Tanzania and export its services and product according to the Tanzania construction policy. This is contrary to the fact that the industry is dominated by Foreign Service providers to the tune of approximately 70 percent in terms of market share. This study employed an econometric model estimation to answer the question of what determined import for construction services in Tanzania for the period 1985-2008. The Ordinary Least Square technique was adopted and applied for regression analysis using Stata 10 software. The findings …

Demand For Accountants In Botswana: Views Of Employers, Christian J. Mbekomize
Business Management Review
The objective of this study was to explore the problem of shortage of accountants in Botswana in order to establish which types of accountants are in short supply, identify the sector of the economy which has been most affected by the shortage and find out how this shortage could be curtailed. A survey of the views of employers of accountants revealed the vacancy rate of professional accountants in Botswana as 15% of the establishment, with that the ratio of local to expatriate accountants about 1:1. These findings do not support the findings by the Botswana Institute of Accountants in 2009, …

The findings indicate that the enterprises use similar competitive strategies. The strategies adopted were related to pricing and cost management, product and marketing. This study has shed …
Sustainability Of Business Development Services: Gaps Analysis Of The Kenyan Market, Hellen Otieno, Donath Olomi, Ruth Kiraka
Sustainability Of Business Development Services: Gaps Analysis Of The Kenyan Market, Hellen Otieno, Donath Olomi, Ruth Kiraka
Business Management Review
A key challenge in entrepreneurship and private sector development is the provision of sustainable Business Development Services (BDS), particularly for micro and small enterprises. This study investigates how sustainability of BDS can be achieved, and how some providers manage to develop sustainable BDS and not others, using Grounded Theory. The findings suggest that there are at least nine specific demand-and-supply-side gaps in the BDS market which providers need to identify and fill if they are to become sustainable. The gaps relate to awareness, value, trust, quality, capacity, unwillingness to pay, appreciation, inability to pay and perception. How providers identify and …

Leasing Potential For Smes In Tanzania: Experience From Lessors And Lessees, Tobias A. Swai, Moyo Violet Ndonde
Leasing Potential For Smes In Tanzania: Experience From Lessors And Lessees, Tobias A. Swai, Moyo Violet Ndonde
Business Management Review
Lease finance has been referred to as one of the best alternative sources of long-term finance for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). There is a lack of literature on the engagement of both lessors and lessees in relation to lease finance in Tanzania. The researchers employed seven case studies consisting of two lessors and five lessees, in order to present the current experience and perspectives of the leasing business in Tanzania. The findings suggest that the lease finance has potential in Tanzania based on the needs of SMEs. Good clientele, good suppliers and the availability of credit in a good …
Sme Finance, Development And Trade In Botswana: A Gender Perspective, S M. Kapunda, B. Magembe, J. Shunda
Sme Finance, Development And Trade In Botswana: A Gender Perspective, S M. Kapunda, B. Magembe, J. Shunda
Business Management Review
This study examines gender-wise the relationship between SMEs ' financing, development and trade in Botswana. Data was collected through personal interviews and questionnaires to two sets of 100 SMEs selected randomly. The data was analysed using essentially SPSS. The results reveal that lack of funds especially for "large" SMEs (mainly medium) is not considered to be a major problem in Botswana because the government has instituted mechanisms for assisting SMEs in accessing affordable sources of funds. Some of the SMEs regarded stiff competition, lack of a market and non-payment of accounts by clients as big problems.. However, women experienced more …

Predictive Ability Of Ordinary Certificate Of Secondary Education Grades To Advanced Certificate Of Secondary Education: Evidence From Tanzania's Necta Results, Ulingeta O.L. Mbamba
Business Management Review
Normally, selection of students for higher education is based on previous performance. Whether or not previous performance is a good predictor varies for different examining bodies. This study evaluates the predictive ability of Tanzania ' s Ordinary Certificate of Secondary Education (OCSE) performance to Advanced Certificate of Secondary Education (ACSE) performance using linear regression and chi-square tests. By linking OCSE of 2003 and 2004 with ACSE of 2006 and 2007, respectively, research results indicate that the OCSE is a good predictor for ACSE. The predictive ability of OCSE improves as data are disaggregated based on whether or not students studied …

Iso 9000 Certification: Some Lessons From A Large Firm In Tanzania, Charity N. Mwakio, Elinami Minja
Iso 9000 Certification: Some Lessons From A Large Firm In Tanzania, Charity N. Mwakio, Elinami Minja
Business Management Review
We present some findings on the implementations and achievements of ISO 9000 standard certification at the Tanzania Cigarette Company (TCC). Among other things we examine the motivation behind adoption of the standard and attempt to measure the implemented changes in terms of quality management. Though positive social impact, improved business results and increased customer satisfaction were recorded in the period following ISO 9000 implementation, these results were not viewed as resulting from ISO 9000 quality standard but rather from privatisation and what transpired during the process of seeking ISO 9000 certification. The findings suggest that ISO 9000 certification does not …
Business Constraints And Growth Potential Of Micro And Small Manufacturing Enterprises In Uganda, Esther Ishengoma, Robert Kappel
Business Constraints And Growth Potential Of Micro And Small Manufacturing Enterprises In Uganda, Esther Ishengoma, Robert Kappel
Business Management Review
Ugandan micro and small enterprises (MSEs) still perform poorly. Studies associating poor performance of manufacturers with lack of finance and low investment ignore micro enterprises. Those focusing on MSEs are either exploratory in nature or employ a descriptive analysis, which cannot show the extent to which business constraints explain the performance of MSEs. Thus, this paper tries to examine the extent to which the growth of MSEs is associated with business constraints while controlling for owners ' attributes and firms ' characteristics. The results reveal that MSEs ' growth potential is negatively associated with limited access to productive resources (finance …
