In Tanzania the adoption of e-procurement is at infant stage. The focus of this thesis is on adoption of e-procurement and value that can be achieved in Tanzania public institutions. In recent years, Tanzania has made a significant progress in ICT. Specific examples are on the adoption of mobile technologies, implementation of the national ICT broadband backbone (NICTBB). The ICT infrastructures which enable the government of Tanzania to embark on e-procurement adoption include: national fibre optic cable network, internet service providers (ISP) and internet cafes and increasing the number of mobiles network across the country. The research model was focused on TOE frameworks which elaborate in details the e-procurement adoption in three perspectives: 1. Organization factors: organization size, top management attitudes characteristics, relative advantage characteristics and user involvement characteristics 2. Technological factors: compatibility characteristics, complexity characteristics, technological infrastructures characteristics, and perceived benefits characteristics 3. Environmental factors: normative pressure, coercive pressure, and mimetic pressure The research methodology used in the study include the data collection techniques which focus on questionnaire as primary data collection, and secondary data collection involve books, journal and internet search engine like Google scholar. Non probability sampling was used in this study.Item Contribution of electronic business practices on performance of supermarket procurement function in Tanzania : A case of selected supermarkets in Dar es Salaam(Mzumbe University, 2019) Matekere, Alfaksadi Y.The main objective of this study was to assess the contribution of electronic business practices on performance of supermarket procurement function in Tanzania. Specifically the study aimed at determining the effect of e-inventory management systems on performance of supermarket procurement function, establishing the effect of e-sourcing on performance of supermarket procurement function, evaluating the effect of e-payment on performance of supermarket procurement function, and assessing the effect of e-archiving on performance of supermarket procurement function. The study was carried out at CHOPPIES, TSN and VILLAGE supermarkets in Dar es Salaam, adopting both qualitative and quantitative approaches under the case study design. Simple random, purposive and convenience sampling techniques were used to select 75 respondents whereas questionnaires and interviews were used to collect data. The collected data were analyzed through content analysis, descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The findings show that there is a positive significant relationship between, e- inventory management system, e-sourcing, e-archiving and the performance of supermarket procurement function. On the other hand it was revealed that there is negative significant relationship between e-payment and performance of supermarket procurement function. The study recommends that the government of Tanzania should insist on application of electronic systems in procurement activities throughout the public institutions in order to achieve the advantages which the private organizations obtain in using electronic systems. Furthermore academicians should conduct more researches concerning application of electronic systems in procurement activities which in turn will stimulate adoption of e-procurement in ensuring efficiency and effectiveness in the government and private operations.
