Achieving organizational objectives in the long run and maximum organization performance and effectiveness, requires giving full attention to the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The societies where business is located occupy a central place in corporate culture affecting the firm performance thus necessitating change in the internal organization structures, processes and behavior. A theoretical review of the role of corporate social responsibility practices revealed a link between a firm’s role of corporate social responsibility practices and its performance. The positive significant correlation coefficient 0.490, P<0.05 shown that any increase in the role of CSR increased the development of the Hima cement based on customer retention. The regression analysis indicated that the role of CSR has a significant impact to the development of organizations based on customer retention F (2, 47) =34.043, P<0.005 with a contribution of 0.074 on R Square. This indicated that 7.4% variance in bank performance based on customer retention can be accounted by the role of CSR. This indicates that organizations should consider corporate social responsibility as factor that has got an impact to customer retention. Organizations should consider in investing much in ethical activities than sales growth as this can lead to improve in the development of organizations. The role of CSR environment has got insignificant impact on the development of organizations in uganda.

Cultural variables are incorporated into a baseline endogenous economic growth model. Cultural attitudes toward achievement and thrift have a positive effect on economic growth. Cultural attitudes concerning post materialism have a negative effect on economic growth. Ordinary least squares regression is used to test economic and cultural models of growth on a cross section of 25 countries. The encompassing principle is used to resolve competing theoretical specifications and to generate a final parsimonious model. A variant of Leamer's Extreme Bounds Analysis (EBA) is used to evaluate the sensitivity of parameter estimates. The conclusions are further supported by nonparametric methods including robust regression and bootstrap resampling. The data for the analysis are from the World Values Survey (1990) and from Levine and Renelt (1992). An empirical model that incorporates both cultural and economic variables is superior to an explanation emphasizing one set of these variables.

This design was adopted in this study because according to Amin (2015), the cross-sectional study enables the study to be carried out at a particular time across categories of respondents without need of follow-up on them thus saving time and resources while the case study helps to provide an in-depth study of the problem within limited time scale. From the findings, suppliers supplied as per Coca cola’s specifications that most managers, non-management employees and suppliers concurred (56%) that service providers adhere to all Coca cola’s specifications during its electronic procurement while 11% were undecided and 33% opposed. Thus, findings show that suppliers adhered to all Coca cola’s specifications during its electronic procurement. The management of Coca cola Uganda should improve its esupplier selection to enhance in its cost management. This will be realized if Coca cola’s specifications for its electronic procurement are according to the nature of requirements, Coca cola’s service providers adhere to all specifications for its electronic procurement, the end user accurately and concisely described the product or service required and Coca cola’s officials inspect to verify that goods, equipment or services conform to specifications for its electronic procurement.

This study, conducted in a specific educational context, sought to explore the relationship between the implementation of school rules and regulations by Head Teachers and the maintenance of student discipline in selected secondary schools. The research, employing quantitative methods and statistical analysis, uncovered a robust and statistically significant correlation between the effective enforcement of school rules by Head Teachers and the high levels of student discipline within these educational institutions. Consequently, it can be concluded that Head Teachers play a pivotal role in shaping student discipline through the consistent enforcement of school regulations, and their active engagement with educators, students, and parents is essential for fostering a shared understanding and ensuring the uniform application of these rules.
