Abstract
Description
This paper examines the extent to which stakeholders participate in various decision-making organs
in institutions providing business education using the College of Business Education (CBE) as the
case study. The main question is ‘How much are key stakeholders involved in decision making systems
of the College?’
This study is mainly a desktop research. The methodology adopted to conduct this study is library
research which involved reviewing literature in order to collect secondary data and it also involved
questionnaires in order to collect primary data. Data analysis revealed that, the provision of higher
education in Tanzania does not effectively involve all key stakeholders especially employers, students,
parents and professional bodies in preparing and implementing education curricula and other
education plans. Ineffective involvement of stakeholders’ results in reduced quality of education that
does not meet market demands.
