Item Marketing and Export Financing(Department of Marketing, 1986-09-22) Mboma (Makupa, Lucy MaryAbstract The paper has dwelt mainly on export financing. All the methods discussed from letters of credit, drafts, barter, telegraphic transfers, schemes - capital seed and credit guarantee effect payments in the international Operations. These methods are still in use. In using the methods, one should not discount the fact that, developing countries are at a disadvantage because of their weak economies, weak infrastructures especially the financing sector, their currencies not being internationally recognized. Whereas their counter parts the developed countries are at the advantage because of their strong economies, accepted currencies internationally especially the $ and £ and DM, strong financial institutions like banks, insurance, have access to transportation facilities etc. Much as the methods could be used in financing exports, the author sees that there is a need to extend the financing aspect to other activities which facilitate and increase sales in the International Market. This approach will do away with the old trend whereby an exporter once reimbursed with his outlay, or consignment, it ends there. What happens in the foreign market is not his concern. With this approach, developing countries have been failing to expand or maintain or penetrate foreign markets, even if the product at hand was of a very high quality. So financing of exports should be extended in providing funds which will be used in developing channels and physical distribution, promotion, training of sales force, carrying adequate inventories, researching of markets, extending credit where ever necessary, information seeking etc. Exporters for that matter a marketer have several sources of funding. This includes his own organization/country, government, foreign agencies, banks etc. So doing business internationally requires an acquaintance with a larger variety of documents and long procedures which may frustrate an exporter. Together with problems in seeking credit information on exporter and for a marketer well up to date information and understanding will always help to take a little care in his international transactions.Item Export Pricing Strategy in Tanzania(1987) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Pricing Strategies, Procedures and Trade Liberalisation(1987) Rutashobya, LetticeItem The Role of Women in Liberation Struggles and Reconstruction(1987) Rutashobya, Lettice; Mihyo, Z.NItem The Role and Performance of Women Co-operatives(1989) Rutashobya, LetticeItem The Market for Tanzanian Automobile Radiators in Kenya(1990) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Export Pricing, Strategies for Tanzanian Firms(1990) Rutashobya, LetticeItem The Role and Performance of Women's Retail Co-operatives(1990) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Credit Acquisition by Women in the Informal Sector(1991) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Empirical uses of Mark-up Pricing Strategy in Tanzania's Retail Business(1992) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Cross Country Comparison of Retail Margin Determinants(1992) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Women in Top Management in Tanzania(1992-10) Rutashobya, Lettice; Lugemebe, RItem Foreign currency flow statement: A Warranted Inclusion in Corporate Annual Reports(African Journal of Finance and Management, 1994) Assad, Mussa JumaAbility of a country to generate foreign currency is a key aspect of economic health. Yet, contents of individual economic entities' financial reports in this country do not reflect information on such an important variable. The general body of users of financial reports’ information stand to benefit severally by inclusion of such information. However, outside corporate annual reports they would not have alternative information sources. Therefore, an argument is put forward for appending a foreign currency flow statement in published financial reports. Cost of providing that additional information is justified by the benefits accruing to users as a result of disclosure. However, in order for such disclosure to yield intended results it must be comprehensively required from entities transacting in foreign currency. Also, it must incorporate the qualitative characteristics of good accounting information.Item Introductory Financial Accounting(Dar es Salaam University Press, 1994) Bautista, Imelda V.; Assad, Mussa JumaItem The Role and Performance of Women's Retail Co-operatives in Tanzania(1994-11) Rutashobya, LetticeItem The role and performance of women's retail co-operatives(1994-12) Rutashobya, LetticeItem Monopolistic Regulation of Accountancy in Tanzania: A Defence Argument(1995) Assad, Mussa JumaItem Women in Business in Tanzania(1995) Rutashobya, LetticeItem HIV/AIDS: An economic and social Challenge to Women in Tanzania .(WRDP, Gender and Development in Tanzania, IN Njau, A and Mruma, T,(eds) Tanzania, ., 1995) Mboma, Lucy MaryHIV/AIDS: AN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL CHALLENGE TO WOMEN IN TANZANIA By Mboma L M R The theme of the paper is HIV/AIDS – the world’s current major disease of concern. Although the ravages of IDS are currently felt by nations, communities and individuals, women bear more burden than men. This paper intends to demonstrate this fact by looking at the economic and social burden women have to carry in situations where AIDS has afflicted. Such analysis and review may help in: (1) Understanding some practices which spread the disease (2) Understanding the consequences of the disease in the society. (3) Providing the most appropriate approach towards targeting a particular intervention. Key Terms: HIV/AIDS, Economic, Social Change, womenItem Gender in Accountancy : Exploratory Research Issues(African Journal of Finance and Management, 1995) Assad, Mussa JumaGender is an important variable in explaining experiences of human beings in all aspects of life; in word and outside work. Accountancy is one of the disciplines which were male dominated for a long while. But, compared to other professions, in this decade, more women are entering accountancy. However, they are still found in the lower levels of the professional continuum. Tanzania has few qualified women accountants and those attempting professional examinations are a small percentage of the total candidature. Indications show that their performance in examinations is not comparable to that of their male colleagues. There are a number of issues that demand an understanding. Yet there is very little information available. This discussion suggests some pertinent issues to explore. Results of research will be of benefit to individual career planning, employers in policy making and broadly to the society
