Examining public private partnerships in solid waste management: A study of A & M executive cleaning services and Kampala capital city authority
(Makerere University Business School, 2014-06) Aguti, Patricia
The study sought to evaluate public private partnerships in solid waste management.Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) refer to arrangements for the procurement of goods and services utilizing franchising and similar arrangement with the private sector, the private sector is contracted to provide goods and services on behalf of government (Regan 2005). This study was carried out at A & M Executive cleaning company and Kampala Capital City Authority. Therefore a total of 64 staff made the study population of this study. The sample size of 52 was determined based on Kreijcie and Morgan (1970) table. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect responses and measurements were done, subjected to rigorous data processing and analysis using statistical package for social scientists (SPSS). The results after examining public private partnerships in solid waste management revealed that the private sector is more efficient than the public sector in solid waste management though they both have to be committed to the partnership to successfully handle the challenges meaning that neither the public sector nor the private sector could do it alone successfully. The recommendations were that Policy guidance on public private partnerships should be revised, the government should give tax incentives like tax holidays to private firms that are willing to get involved in public private partnerships, the government should properly oversee PPP projects, the private sector should provide technical support to government organizations, Capacity building of both public and private sector employees involved in PPPs should be provided, and there should be independence of departments handling public private partnerships and a clear decision making process and sensitization of management and other government bodies on the importance of PPPs.
Examining the Logistics Management Function in Uganda Telecom Ltd
(Makerere University Business School, 2014-11) Mukangoga, Justine
This study aimed at examining logistics management amongst telecommunication industry in Uganda. The study population comprised 40 employees who are responsible for logistics planning, ware house management, freight management. Given the small nature of the population all the 40 staff was studied. The respondents were selected using simple random sampling. Self-administered questionnaires were used to collect responses and measurements were done, subjected to vigorous data processing and analysis using statistical package for social scientists (SPSS). The results revealed that the majority of the respondents agreed about the average use of logistics planning and ware house management and few disagree about Freight management practices applied by Uganda Telecom Ltd in the management of logistics. It was recommended that Logistics management focuses on the organization as a whole and not on individual units and departments while deciding about the allocation of resources. The resources may be in the form of men, machines, materials, money and time. Logistics management helps in the efficient use and deployment of the scarce resources. In absence of effective logistics management, there will be a depletion of various meager resources.
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities and Supply Processes (SP): a case of CNOOC Uganda Ltd.’s suppliers.
(Makerere university business school Institutional repository, 2016-12) Akoth, Hellen
The recent discoveries of oil and gas (O&G) in Uganda have so far been characterized by International Alert (2014) with ‘oil exploration scramble.’ Many oil exploration companies are rushing to Uganda to secure oil blocks. They have thus put a lot of attention to securing supplies which will enable them produce oil and the related services. Less attention is put to corporate social responsibility (CSR) considerations yet O&G companies have complicated supply processes which should be highly effective if social and environmental unrests are to be avoided. Henceforth, this study was set out to examine the role of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities in ensuring effectiveness of Supply Processes (SP) within Oil and Gas business. So using a quantitative cross sectional research design, a sample of 73 prequalified CNOOC suppliers /companies as at 31st July, 2015, were studied. Data from these companies was collected using a structured questionnaire, through face-to-face interviewing & emailing of respondents. Results from the correlation indicated that there is a significant positive relationship between community responsibility and Supply Processes (r = .574**, P <0.01). Additionally, there is a significant positive relationship between market place responsibility and Supply Processes (r = .518**, P <0.01). Findings further reveal that there is a significant positive relationship between environmental responsibility and Supply Processes(r = .473**, P <0.01). Furthermore, community social responsibilities were found to be the most priority determinants of Supply Process followed by Environmental responsibilities and lastly Market Place Responsibilities. Additionally, regression analysis revealed that CSR activities (a combination of community responsibility, environmental responsibility, and market place responsibility) positively and significantly predicted up to 47.5% (see, Adjusted R square 0.475) of the variance in the supplier chain processes (SP). This implies that 52.5% of the variance in SP is explained by other factors outside the model used. On this basis, I conclude that communities and various stakeholders (including employees) of suppliers to oil companies are increasingly looking beyond salaries and benefits that accrue to supply process participants. They are also seeking out employers (suppliers and their chains) whose philosophies and operating practices match their own principles. Hence, in order to have effective supply process, companies (that is, supplier to oils companies and their supply chains) should think of ways of improving working conditions, community relations as well as active stakeholder engagements. Also, there is need to build local supplier chain capacities to create awareness of the social and environmental responsibilities. This will instil confidence in the local communities about business activies in the Oil and Gas sector.

Primary data was collected using questionnaires. Data from the field was compiled, sorted, edited for analysis using SPSS. The results indicated a significant positive relationships between credit terms and sustainability, credit accessibility and sustainability and, a combination of credit terms and credit accessibility and sustainability of SMEs within Nakawa Division. Based on the findings, the study recommended that financial Institutions need to relax credit terms which will increase credit accessibility that also automatically lead to sustainability, SMEs should ensure mechanisms that can boost their credit accessibility and the government should put in place policies that ensures easy access to credit by SMEs and should further increase funding and come up with more entrepreneurship oriented programs such as capital ventures which well maximized guarantee sustainability of SMEs.
Analysis of Value for money in Public procurement in Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA)
(Makerere University Business School, 2018-08-24) Rubinga, Ronald Robert
This study sought to analyze the perception of selected stake holders on value for money in procurement conducted in Kampala Capital City Authority. The study was initiated as a result of continuous compromise of value for money as reflected in the three components that is, economy, efficiency and effectiveness. The objectives that guided this study were to examine the level of economy, efficiency and effectiveness of procurement in (KCCA), to establish the challenges facing KCCA in achieving value for money and to identify ways to enhance value for money in KCCA. To achieve this a sample of 110 procurement stakeholders comprising of both technical and political staff in KCCA was used to gather the required evidence. The tool that was used in data collection was the questionnaire. The key findings from the study were that value for money in KCCA was compromised because of many factors, such as the practice of not following procurement procedures as stipulated in the public procurement guidelines, unethical practices of the procurement staff like corruption, their desire to satisfy personal interests without considering public interest. These practices among other resulted in engaging un qualified suppliers who have no history of supplying in public institutions, other results of this has been poor quality services and products, late delivery of goods and services. Basing on the above conclusions recommendations were made among which included putting in place policies of user consultation before the statement of requirements are drawn and establishing and emphasizing a policy of procuring from accredited and competent suppliers. This would help in minimizing the procurement of goods and services of low quality and late delivery of supplies, thus maximizing value for money.
Market Complexity, Early Supplier Involvement, Organizational Learning and Stock Obsolescence in the Telecommunication Industry
(Makerere University Business School, 2018-09) Nakalema, Mildred
The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between market complexity, early supplier involvement, organizational learning and stock Obsolescence in the Telecommunication industry in Uganda. The motivation for the study lies on concern regarding several cases relating to the increased volumes of unused stock in warehouses which cost such companies millions of dollars and other stock holding costs. A cross-sectional design was adapted with a sample size of 38 companies (10 Telecommunication companies and 28 suppliers). The questionnaires were given to 340 respondents and the response rate was 63%. 215 questionnaires were entered and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS V23) with a focus on descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation coefficient, regression analysis and ANOVA tests. The reliability and validity of the instrument were established using Cronbach Alpha coefficient and content validity index respectively. The Pearson correlation coefficient results revealed a positive and significant relationship between the variables of market complexity, early supplier involvement, organizational learning and stock Obsolescence. Regressions analysis results revealed that Organizational Learning, Market Complexity and Early Supplier involvement account for only 48% of the variance in Stock Obsolescence. Thus the remaining variance of 52% can be attributed to other factors that are outside the scope of this study. The results further showed that Market Complexity and the Early Supplier Involvement are predictor variables for stock obsolescence while Organizational learning was not observed as a significant predictor for the Stock obsolescence. A conclusion was made and several recommendations proposed such as promoting and appreciating early supplier involvement, involving suppliers early in the product development stages, advancement in technology, investment in innovation, among others.
Institutional Isomorphism, Institutional Logics, Procurement Competencies and SME Engagement in Public Procurement Transactions in Uganda
(Makerere University Business School, 2018-10) Talemwa, Julian
The study aimed at SMEs engagement in public procurement transactions in Uganda. The study employed a cross sectional research design using a sample size of 364out of 6247SMEs registered with PPDA in Kampala district. Data were collected using self-administered questionnaires to collect data from the respondents The results revealed significant positive relationships between; institutional isomorphism and SMEs engagement public procurement transactions, institutional isomorphism and procurement competencies, procurement competencies and SME engagement in public procurement transactions, institutional logics and procurement competencies and institutional logics and SME engagement in public procurement transactions in Uganda. In addition, results revealed that institutional logics and institutional isomorphism are significant predictors of SMEs engagement in public procurement. However, procurement competencies are not significant predictors of SMEs involvement in public procurement. Hence recommend that SMEs should improve on institutional norms of professionalism, market and commercial logics as well as institutional pressures of following rules and regulations, professionalism and mimicking successful organizations in order to be fully engaged in public procurement transactions in Uganda.

CONTRACTUAL GOVERNANCE, INTELLECTUAL CAPITAL AND PERFORMANCE OF ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN KAMPALA
(inpublishered, 2021-03-08) canogura tonny
This study was intended to examine the relationship between contractual governance, intellectual capital and the performance of road construction projects in Kampala. The research problem was that despite heavy investment in road construction and maintenance projects by KCCA, majority of road construction projects are not completed within the estimated time, cost quality and scope resulting into high stakeholder dissatisfaction. The study was based on a cross sectional design approach where 63 road construction projects in Kampala were targeted. A questionnaire was used to collect primary data from respondents. Results show that contractual governance and project performance are significantly related. There is a positive significant relationship between intellectual capital and project performance in road projects in Kampala. Findings confirm a positive and significant predictive potential of intellectual capital on project performance. However, contractual governance is found not to be a significant predictor of performance in this context. More to that, contractual governance and intellectual capital explain an overall of 10.7% of the variance in performance of road construction projects in Kampala. It was recommended that KCCA should immediately look at which measures are in place in the current road construction projects to ensure that contracts are followed as agreed. There is need to review contracts vis a vis performance on a regular basis, preferable quarterly, instead of the beginning and the end of a project where little corrective action can be done. There is also need to train project managers on how to harness intellectual capital in order to boost the chances of road project performance. Such training which should be undertaken at least once every three months will not necessarily guarantee good performance but will boost the chances of a project performing to (and beyond) expected levels. Regarding intellectual capital, projects need to focus on building a multidimensional competitive or performance advantage by creating unique competencies to develop unique relationships with stakeholders.

Supplier Capacity, Entrepreneurial Culture and Public Procurement Participation of Women Owned Businesses in Uganda
(Makerere University Business School, 2021-12-09) Namuluta, Khadija. Ramadhan
The purpose of the study was to ascertain the relationship between supplier capacity, entrepreneurial culture and public procurement participation of women-owned businesses. The persistent low number of bids received from women-owned businesses and failure to win contracts was a prime motivation for this study. A cross-sectional quantitative design was used in the study with a sample of 297 respondent firms, but only 249 responses were obtained. The reliability and validity of the data collection instrument were established using a Cronbach Alpha coefficient and a content validity index respectively. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 software with a focus on descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation and regression analyses, and Smart PLS for mediation analysis. The Pearson correlation coefficients showed a positive and statistically significant relationship between supplier capacity, entrepreneurial culture and public procurement participation of women-owned businesses. Also, a partial mediation effect of entrepreneurial culture in the relationship between supplier capacity and public procurement participation was established. Further, the regression analysis results indicated that both supplier capacity and entrepreneurial culture are statistically significant predictors of public procurement participation of women-owned businesses, accounting for 43.7%. It was therefore concluded that improved supplier capacity and good entrepreneurial culture results in public procurement participation of women-owned businesses. Recommendations were suggested including the need by the PPDA Authority in collaboration with the firms’ management to consider developing these firms’ capacities both financially and technically so as to participate easily in public procurement; need by the firms to always adhere to tax obligation and properly file their financial records, need to develop and practice good entrepreneurial culture which fosters flexibility and instills confidence in firms.
Determinants Of foreign Direct Investment Inflows in Uganda
(Makerere University Business School, 2021-12-20) Sempambo, Eric
In the progression towards economic growth, countries consider investment as a critical feature in raising productivity levels by boosting technological progress and reducing the unemployment rate. In recent years, the Government of Uganda has enacted policies to entice Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the view of creating more jobs and bolstering the economy. However, the performance of FDI has registered mixed understanding of trends with oscillations rather than a clear growth trajectory. One would then wonder, what could be the determinants of FDI inflows in Uganda. A longitudinal research design comprised of a 29-year time series was used with inflation rate, interest rate, Balance of Payment, GDP percapita and exports serving as the determinates of FDI inflows in Uganda. Several diagnostics tests were conducted. Johansen test for cointegration which revealed that the long run relationship exists amongst the variables. Pearson Correlation technique was used to establish the level of relationship between the macro economic factors and FDI inflows. Vector Error Correction Model was constructed to determine the contribution of these variables to FDI inflows. Results from the study revealed that Inflation, exports, interest rate and GDP percapita determine the FDI inflows in Uganda. Foreign investment is driven by the size of GDP percapita of Uganda, implying that investors target more domestic market. An average of 6% inflation rate is desired by foreign investors in Uganda. And, a high interest rate of Uganda attracts more FDI inflows meaning that investors require a safe and stable business environment. It was also found that balance of payment is statistically insignificantly related to FDI. This means that the relationship could actually be by chance. Government is therefore urged to; i. Devise mechanisms and policies that target improving percapita income of the population. This will increase the market size hence more FDI inflows. ii. Monetary policy should target maintain inflation rate at 6.4%. This is highly required to support foreign investments. iii. Target import substitution and provision of incentives for investors that target export market to attract more export oriented FDI into the economy
Audit quality, team competence and financial performance of commercial banks in Kampala central division
(Makerere University Business School, 2022-01-10) Akangwagye, Johnson
The study sought to establish the relationship between audit quality and financial performance of commercial Banks in Kampala Central Division. The study adopted across sectional and correlation quantitative design using 24 commercial Banks in Kampala central 24 commercial banks in Kampala central division that were drawn from a population of 26commercial banks. The sample size was determined using Krejcie and Morgan Tables (1970). The data were tested for reliability and validity, analyzed using SPSS version 21 and results presented based on the study objectives. The correlation coefficient analysis revealed positive and significant relationships between audit quality, team competence and financial performance of commercial Banks which implies that when one variable is improved it leads to improvement of the other. Furthermore, the hierarchical regression analysis indicates that audit quality combined with team competence have a greater predictive potential on the financial performance (Adj R2 of 0.324). However, it was further revealed that audit quality has a more direct effect on the financial performance based on the individual contribution (R Square Change 0.202). Therefore, it’s worth recommending that The management of the commercial banks should ensure that they hire quality audit firms and ensure that employees who work in the internal audits are well qualified and they should do this by tracking their history and also how big they are in dealing with different bigger audits. This will enable the commercial banks to get independent and quality reports about their performance and this will help them to continue correcting their mistakes and improve performance. It should ensure that the employees have the right attitude towards work, this can be done by ensuring that the environment is conducive for business continuity and it enables workers to be promoted.
Stakeholder engagement, resource mobilisation and success of projects in NGOS within Mukono district
(Makerere University Business School, 2022-03-01) Agogong, Elizabeth
The study sought to establish the relationship between stakeholder engagement, resource mobilisation and success of projects in NGOs within Mukono district. The study adopted across sectional and correlation quantitative design using a sample size 123 projects in the NGOs in Mukono District using where the manager, the Head of Finance/ Accountant and one project beneficiary were selected as unit of inquiry. The data was tested for reliability and validity, analyzed using SPSS version 23 and results presented based on the study objectives. The correlation coefficient analysis revealed positive and significant relationships between stakeholder engagement and success of projects in NGOs within Mukono district, resource mobilisation and success of projects in NGOs within Mukono district which implies that when one variable is improved it leads to improvement of the other. Furthermore, the multiple regression analysis indicates that stakeholder engagement and resource mobilisation have a greater influence on the success of projects in NGOs (Adj R2 of 0.43.6). The research recommends the management of NGOs in Mukono should ensure that at all levels of project implementation and initiation, stakeholders are fully involved. This is because project success will not be guarantee if stakeholders are ignored and also implies that as long as the stakeholders are not part of the project that means that the project is on different agenda that differs from the original plan of project initiation. There is need to have a strong connection between the managers of the project and funders of the project. This is because without a strong relationship which helps in providing proper accountability of the funds used, there will be no need by the funders to continue injecting money in non-productive projects which would be benefiting only those earning salaries as a result of being employed there.
Entrepreneurial orientation, knowledge management orientation and participation in public procurement market: a case of women owned smes in Ugandan central region.
(Makerere University Business School, 2022-03-09) Mwagale, Isaac
This study focused on establishing the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation, knowledge management orientation and participation of women owned SMEs in public procurement markets in Ugandan Central region. It was carried out because women SMEs still get 1% of the public procurement contracts and yet public procurement is a tool that can promote gender equality. The study used a quantitative cross-sectional survey design and selfadministered questionnaire to collect data on a sample size of 123 women owned SMEs extracted from the PPDA registered list of providers for the year 2020. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) with focus on descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, regression analyses and Sobel Test for the mediation. The findings of the study indicated a partial mediation of knowledge management orientation on entrepreneurial orientation and participation in public procurement by women owned SMEs. The results also revealed positive and significant relationships between entrepreneurial orientation and participation in public procurement, knowledge management orientation and participation in public procurement; and entrepreneurial orientation and knowledge management orientation. Furthermore, regression analysis was used to examine the predictive power of the independent variables on participation in public procurement. It was established that both entrepreneurial orientation and knowledge management orientation were significant predictors for participation in public procurement accounting for a variance of 24.2%. Finally, the study offers some recommendations for women owned SMEs, particularly related to enhancing their entrepreneurial and knowledge management orientations.

(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2022-03-17) C. Christopher Lee, Hyoun Sook Lim; Dong-Heon Austin Kwak
This study explored moderating effects of employee generations on factors related to employee retention and motivation in the workplace. Design/methodology/approach– The authors developed a survey instrument and collected the survey data via Amazon Mechanical Turk. After filtering out bad responses, the authors ended up with 489 sample cases for this study. The authors used structural equation modelling for data analysis. Findings– Evidence showed that only transformational leadership was significantly related to retention of Generation X employees and only work–life balance had a significant relationship with intrinsic motivation. For Generation Y employees, transformational leadership was the only factor affecting their retention while both transformational leadership and autonomy showed significant impacts on their intrinsic motivation. Generation Z employees reported that only transformation leadership affected their retention while transformational leadership, corporate social responsibility and autonomy were significantly related to them intrinsic motivation in the workplace. All three generations showed statistical significance between intrinsic motivation and employee retention. Practical implications– This study could help business practitioners increase employees’ work motivation and retention. Originality/value– First, our results revealed interesting similarities and differences between generations in terms of the factors that affected employees’ retention and motivation. Second, this study proved that employees’ generation affects the impacts of transformational leadership, CSR, autonomy, WLB and technology on their motivation and retention in the workplace. Third, the results of our study also showed that employees of different generations are intrinsically motivated by different factors, proving the importance of considering generational differences in motivation literature.
