Abstract
This study examines the extent to which small and medium sized business in Uganda use formal agreements when
purchasing supplies. It also looks at the dispute resolution mechanisms the SMEs use when suppliers do not honour
their contractual obligations to deliver supplies on time. The paper is based on a survey with a sample of 422
Ugandan Small Scale Businesses and 417 medium enterprises. The businesses surveyed were drawn from
manufacturing, construction, hotels and restaurants, education, wholesale and retail trade sectors. Respondents
were managers who deal with the purchasing function within their businesses. Data were collected using a questionnaire which was made up of both closed and open-ended questions to corroborate responses from respondents.
