An Examination on Evolution of Accountability and Transparency Procurement Principles in Mainland Tanzania
Get PDFLike in other African countries, the government of the United Republic of Tanzania has engaged and conducted a good number of procurement reforms. This has been carried out by the government since it attained its independence in 1961. It was an expectation of the public that all reforms that have taken place mainly aimed at ensuring that procurement system become robust and promising. This is because, in its day-to-day business, the government relies entirely on public purchasing in getting various commodities from bidders, both local and internationally. It is unfortunate, however, in all procurement reforms that have carried out by the government, with exception of 2016 procurement reforms, accountability and transparency procurement principles evolution was not given a deserving priority it deserved. Obviously, the 1977 Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania, and all other previous Constitutions contained a provision relating to financial matters, yet it is unluckily that as of today, the same 1977 Constitution of the United Republic of Tanzania has not a single provision emphasizing or rather indicating on accountability and transparency procurement principles. This evidences clearly that procurement reforms seem to be not fruitful since accountability and transparency procurement principles evolution has slowly emerged and in previous procurement reforms, this was in fact, given little and less attention on various occasions when public procurement laws were reformed. In all procurement reforms, until 2016 procurement reforms that the government did, accountability and transparency procurement principles did not feature in any statute in Mainland Tanzania.

Legal Framework of Investment in Turkey
Get PDFTurkey has always been a country that attracts the attention of investors due to its geopolitical position. Legislation regarding investment is shaped in line with the social and economic policies of the country. It is seen that our country has accepted investment-friendly regulations in the process up to now. In this context, the “Foreign Direct Investments Law” dated 2003 and numbered 4875 is the Law which should be examined as a priority. This Law brought two important changes in investment law. One of these innovations is the transition from the permission system to the notification system in foreign investment. The other innovation is related to who can be considered as a foreign investor. With the new regulation, Turkish citizens residing abroad will also be able to get investor status. We define stocks and capital market investments less than 10% and not giving a control on the company as indirect investments. Within the scope of our study, direct investments, indirect investments and their legal framework will be explained in accordance with the relevant legislation
Innovation Capability As Key to Competitive Advantage: Relation of Product Innovation Capability, Process Innovation Capability, and Firm Performance
Get PDF In the technological products and services market, which operates under rapidly changing market conditions and where competition is intense, firms need to offer well-developed innovative products and services to the market in order to maintain their existence in the long term. However, firms need to have a range of internal capabilities to produce these innovative products and services. The key for firms to keep up with the intense competitive environment and to achieve the firm performance, which is the ultimate goal of each firm, is possible with the presence of product innovation capability and process innovation capability, which are the two sub-dimensions of innovation capability. In our study, the relationships between product innovation capability and process innovation capability, which are the two sub-dimensions of innovation capability, and firm performance were examined. The combination of product and process innovation capability plays a critical role in the success of firms. At this point, the complementary feature that exists between both abilities gains importance. The research was conducted with 220 questionnaires collected from the middle/senior managers of 120 firms operating in the field of technology. The data were analyzed by partial least squares method in SmartPls4 program. The results reveal that product innovation capability and process innovation capability have a positive impact on firms' performance
The Mediator Role of Starting New Business in the Relationship between Logistics Performance and Growth
Get PDFEconomic growth refers to the enchancement in per capita income or purchasing power and this process of development. The main feature of economic growth is that continues progress by emergence of new source of growth when necessary. In addition to changes in the sources of economic growth, the indicators that explain economic growth are also changing. Recent recearches show that Gross Domestic Product ( GDP) per capita is accepted as one of the main indicators of growth. Logistics Performance Index (LPI) which has a direct and indirect impact on economic growth, is a World Bank indicator that examines a country’s logistics performance in six sub-dimension. In order to indicate the importance of economic growth and logistics performance, this study investigates the mediator role of starting new business in the relationship between logistics performance and gross domestic product per capita. The aim of the research is to analyze 76 countries based on the data of 2010-2012-2014-2016-2018 according to the data available at the World Bank. As a result of analyses, the mediation effect of starting new business on the relationship between logistics performance was not established. Even if no starting new business, the improvement in logistics investments directly affects economic growth. Even with existing logistics investments, it contributes to economic growth by increasing efficiency, increasing the capacity and cost of existing companies. In this case, starting new business does not have an mediator role. Keywords: Logistics Performance Index, Score-Starting a Business, GDP per capita
Teacher Performance in Tanzania: Discovering the Influence of Salary as a Motivational Catalyst - A Systematic Review
Get PDFThis paper reviews the literature on the relationship between teachers' salaries and their performance in Tanzania. The study highlights the importance of teachers and their role in shaping future generations. However, the low salary levels of teachers have resulted in low motivation, high turnover, and low performance. The review methodology involved a systematic search of electronic databases using keywords related to Tanzania, teacher salaries, teacher performance, motivation, turnover, and job satisfaction through publish or perish software. Databases such as Semantic Scholar, ERIC, Science Direct, SCOPUS, and Google Scholar were searched to identify relevant studies published between 2010 and 2023. The study used established inclusion and exclusion criteria, and sixteen studies met the criteria, including three quantitative, eight mixed-method, and five qualitative studies.The findings reliably showed that low salaries negatively affect teacher performance worldwide. Teachers receiving low salaries are less motivated, have lower job satisfaction, and are more likely to engage in absenteeism and moonlighting. Moreover, low salaries lead to a brain drain of highly qualified teachers from the public education system to private schools or other professions. The study highlights the importance of addressing the issue of low salaries for teachers in Tanzania to improve teacher performance and the quality of education. The findings showed the role of policymakers, educators, and stakeholders, underscoring the need for a policy addressing the issue of low teacher salaries to improve the quality of education
Legal Position and Regulation of Artificial Intelligence Technology in Indonesia
Get PDFTechnology always leaping more forward than before this can happen because there’s a many inovations and work of mankind, as example we can take it from the development of Artificial Intelligence with this kind of development is a subject of a Research and Development from Technologies itself that can make work more easier than before and of course Artificial Intelligence always related to Big data and computing power that can think and make conclusions like human being, on the side of Law this development is a pretty game changer such as on Indonesia itself there was a website called a HukumOnline who has already launching an platform LIA ( Legal Intelligence Assistant) that using an A.I based for the public, for next example we can take it from America that using an A.I too called “Do Not Pay” in short this Apps is a lawyer based on A.I, but on February 2023 this Apps only used for ticketing Case only In the case example above, of course, questions will arise about how AI is positioned in the criminal justice process in Indonesia, therefore this journal will explain the subject matter
Technological Frames: A Qualitative Study on Logistics and Supply Chain Management
Get PDFThis study aims to provide an insight for the concept of “frame” in general and “technological frame” in particular, which have gained considerable interest in management and organization studies. Additionally, it investigates the factors affecting technological frame construct, which is defined as people’s “assumptions, expectations and knowledge about the purpose, context, importance and role of technology’’ (Orlikowski and Gash, 1994). On the other hand, the importance of technology in the success of logistics and supply chain management has increased dramatically over the recent years in line with the emergence of new technologies. Based on this, we conducted an exploratory qualitative study, including semi-structured interviews with employees working in the logistics and supply chain management area. After content analysis, we found out that past experiences with technology, biases towards or against the new technology, personality, and technology knowledge and competence are the individual factors whereas organizational culture, colleagues’ attitudes, making stakeholders participate in the process of establishment, understanding the differences between employees, managers, and other stakeholders, and aligning them on a common goal, and providing training and on-time feedback to technology-related problems are the organizational factors affecting emotional and cognitive experiences of employees with a new technology they encounter at the workplace for the first time. Perhaps the most important finding of the study is that it has an affective dimension. Future research should provide further validation with research sample covering larger contexts
The Role of Legal Digitization on Cybercrime Control in Indonesia Jenda Ingan Mahuli Faculty of Law, Universitas Pembinaan Masyarakat Indonesia, Medan, Indonesia
No full textThe purpose of this research is to find out and analyze the extent of the efforts made by the Government and the DPR in overcoming the problems of articles that are multi-interpreted in several existing laws in Indonesia regarding the use of digital applications so that there is legal certainty, and bring up fair and transparent law enforcement. This research discusses the efforts made by the Government and the DPR in an effort to minimize the existing turmoil by doing various ways in order to overcome the problems associated with articles that are multi-interpreted in several existing laws in Indonesia regarding the use of digital applications, besides that in other studies only on the description of multi-interpreted articles and the explanation of the case, while in this research there is an addition on how to overcome problems to prevent turmoil in the community related to multi-interpreted articles that affect legal certainty and law enforcement. The research method used is descriptive qualitative analysis with a literature research approach. From the results of existing research, the conclusion of this study is that there are several articles of multiple interpretations that exist in the laws and regulations in force in Indonesia, where the article is article 27 paragraph 2 and article 28 paragraph 2 of Law No. 11 of 2008 concerning ITE and Article 1 Paragraph 4 of Law No. 27 of 2022 concerning the protection of personal data that is detrimental to society, as has happened in several cases in Indonesia. In addition, from the results of the research, it can be seen that there are several ways to prevent this multi-interpretation article, namely by conducting restorative justice for handling cases related to digital use activities, the efforts of the community to conduct judicial reviews of articles that are multi-interpreted when using digital applications, and the Government's desire to revise several articles in the law relating to the use of digital applications. If the implementation of articles that are contrary to the conscience of the people, which are multi-interpretive and also not in accordance with what the community expects is continued, it will make the State lose its authority, and the law will not be dealt with properly, to the detriment of the community, where this article will erode public confidence in law enforcement in Indonesia which is currently being tested because of the incompetence of law enforcers in handling cases.
