Management of Business Records in Tanzania: An exploratory case study of Selected Companies

Abstract

This research aims to raise awareness on the need to manage records in business in Tanzania. The government of Tanzania promulgated the Records Management Act, however, the Act does not adequately address the management of private business records. In additional to that, many records management studies conducted in Tanzania only dealt with public records. Therefore this research dealing with corporate records management in the Iringa region of Tanzania is likely to raise awareness on the need to manage business records and open up debate on the merits and demerits of their management and preservation.
