Nevertheless, some local enterprises succeed in overcoming these challenges. This paper seeks to understand the strategies of these enterprises. Drawing on case studies of Tanzanian enterprises in the food processing industry, we identify six generic coping strategies which contrast markedly with the kind of strategies conventional strategic management thinking would prescribe: Instead of focus strategies, Tanzanian enterprises diversify across industries and value chain functions; Instead of competitive strategies, Tanzanian enterprises embark on network and political strategies; And instead of internationalizing based on home-market strengths, Tanzanian enterprises internationalize in response to home-market weaknesses. We characterize the strategies adopted by Tanzanian enterprises and discuss implications for the strategic management literature.Item Credit Acquisition by Women in the Informal Sector(1991) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Cross Country Comparison of Retail Margin Determinants(1992) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Cross Country Comparison of Retail Margin Determinants, Business Management Review(1996) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Developing Entrepreneurs(2003) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Distribution System s in Tanzania(1996) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Empirical uses of Mark-up Pricing Strategy in Tanzania's Retail Business(1992) Rutashobya, LetticeItem The Environment of Business in Africa(1999) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Expanding the Horizons of African Business and Development(2002) Rutashobya, Lettice; Iguisi, OItem Exploring the Potentialities of Export Processing Free Zones (EPZs) for Economic Development in Africa(2002) Rutashobya, LetticeThis paper explores the potentiality of export processing zones (EPZs) as a development strategy for Sub‐Saharan African countries using the Mauritian EPZ model as a case study. In the literature positive relationships between export expansion and economic growth and between EPZs and export growth have been found in developing countries. Export‐oriented strategy is particularly important for developing countries given their dependency on foreign countries for most of their key inputs and technologies required in their production. Our findings suggest that EPZs can play a crucial role in the economic and social development of a country. Also that EPZs’ success may be greater if they are implemented as part of an overall trade‐oriented reform programme aimed at opening up the whole country rather than treating them as enclaves. Comprehensive incentives are required. The Mauritian EPZ experience thus provides good lessons to other Sub‐Saharan African countries pursuing economic reformsItem Exploring the potentialities of export processing free zones (EPZs) for economic development in Africa: lessons from Mauritius(MCB UP Ltd, 2003) Rutashobya, LetticeThis paper explores the potentiality of export processing zones (EPZs) as a development strategy for Sub‐Saharan African countries using the Mauritian EPZ model as a case study.
