dc.description.abstractThis study investigated the level of technological growth and pre-bureaucratic structures of international business in some selected banks in Uganda.‭ ‬Specifically the study undertook to‭ (‬i‭) ‬determine the demographic profiles of the respondents in terms of gender,‭ ‬age,‭ ‬education qualifications,‭ ‬location of banks,‭ ‬position held in the bank and years of service‭;(‬ii‭) ‬to determine the level of technological growth in the selected international banks in the study‭; (‬iii‭) ‬to determine the level of pre-bureaucratic structures in the selected international banks in the study‭ (‬iv‭) ‬to establish whether there is a significant difference in the level of technological growth and level of pre-bureaucratic structures in the international banks and‭ (‬v‭) ‬to establish whether there is a significant relationship between technological growth and pre-bureaucratic structures in international banks.‭ ‬Using descriptive,‭ ‬comparative,‭ ‬correlational and cross-sectional strategies,‭ ‬data were collected from‭ ‬108‭ ‬top managers and middle managers using self-administered questionnaires‭ (‬SAQs‭) ‬as the main data collection instruments.‭ Data were analyzed at uni-variate level using frequency counts and summary statistics,‭ ‬at bivariate level using student’s t-test,‭ ‬ANOVA and linear correlation co-efficient analysis and lastly at multi-variate level using Regression Analysis.‭ ‬The study revealed that majority of the respondents managers‭ (‬95.4%‭) ‬have offices in Kampala,‭ (‬65.8%‭) ‬serve banks whose existence is not beyond‭ ‬20‭ ‬years,‭ (‬91.7%‭) ‬are at least graduates,‭ ‬70.4%‭ ‬were in the early adulthood age,‭ (‬52.8%‭) ‬were males,‭ (‬58.3%‭) ‬were middle managers and‭ (‬79.6%‭) ‬had served their banks between‭ ‬1-10‭ ‬years.‭ ‬The levels of technological growth were high‭ (‬2.62‭)‬.‭ ‬The study found a significant relationship between the level of technological growth and pre-bureaucratic structures‭ (‬Sig.‭=‬0.038‭)‬.‭ ‬There was no significant difference between male and female views on pre-bureaucratic structures.‭ ‬Technological growth had a significant effect on pre-bureaucratic structures‭ (‬Sig.‭ = ‬0.000‭)‬.‭ ‬It was concluded that technological growth had a significant effect on private enterprise structures.‭ ‬It was recommended that banks engaged in international business should adopt appropriate technology to establish the desired private enterprise structures.‭ ‬It is thus strongly recommended that banks should adopt ICT full blast.en_US
