Abstract:
It is a great pleasure for the College of Business Education (CBE) to organize its 2nd Conference on Business
and Economic Development (BEDC 2020) on 16th
-17th November 2021. We are pleased to complete our
conference proceedings with Seventy Three articles that aimed at resolving pressing economic problems that
hinder businesses and economic development of emerging industries and markets in the world in general and
Tanzania in particular.
On behalf of the College of Business Education, we thank the Honorable Dr. Stergomena Lawrence Tax; the
Minister of Defence and National Security of the United Republic of Tanzania for accepting our invitation as
a guest of honour. We also thank the Five keynote speakers: Prof. Alfred S. Sife, the Vice-Chancellor –
Moshi Cooperative University Tanzania, Prof. Honest Ngowi, the Principle Mzumbe University, Dar es
Sallam Campus, Mr. Godfrey Ngaisa- Director of BRELA, and Ms. Maida Waziri- the Presedent of Voice of
Women Entrepreneurs Tanzania (VOWET) and CBE Alumin for accepting our invitation and deliver
keynote lectures. We were indeed honoured and delighted to have them with us. We also thank the
academicians who submitted and presented papers in our conference.
The theme of the conference was on Inclusive Economic Growth for the Sustainable Development which is
very important in the context of today’s world economy. The aspect of Inclusive economic growth now or
later, in one way or another, will affect everything and everyone, everyday life as well as national public
finances and macroeconomic stability. Such a topic warrants particular attention from the public and private
investors. The idea of inclusive economic growth is discussed in varying contexts in its narrower and wider
perspectives. In particular, what we have in mind is a need to create awareness of inclusive economic growth
dynamics at all levels. The issues of Inclusive economic growth will become increasingly important in the
future, thus addressing them becomes inevitable.
I congratulate the conference organizing team, chaired by Dr Dickson Pastory, Dr. Petro Maziku the
Secretary for organizing this conference. Sincerely, we enjoyed the conference programme.
