dc.description.abstractThe 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.
