Next, employment of qualified, adequate staff to handle the
management of records has also been recommended so as to
enhance professionalism thus curb the issue of nonconformities
in records management as the IRMT (2000), states that the
quality of any records management programme is directly
related to the quality of the staff that operates it and the
financial and technological resources available to maintain it.
On the other hand, to overcome a customer service gap,
providing employee training, clarifying the tasks of all
personnel to avoid task ambiguity and making proper changes
to technology and systems so that they can be supportive to the
quality goal.

Lastly, it also indicated low funding directed to the records
management function. The heads of registries should ensure
that they prepare a comprehensive budget and be able to
justify to the management the reason for the comprehensive
budget. According to Sanderson and Ward (2010) as cited by
Makura (2011) the importance of records management is
increasingly being recognized in organizations’. It is therefore
the mandate and responsibility of Records Managers to ensure
that they gain the attention of decision makers in the
organisation. Gaining is all about convincing the management
on the importance of the existence of records management.
Lastly, sensitization of staff through workshops seminars on
records management and its importance in service delivery
should be considered for this will enable each staff to have
knowledge on the importance of creating and handling records
as depicted from the study. Staff development is an essential
tool for building awareness and knowledge of records
management and what benefits that is brought with it. It is
also a key strategic change agent for developing the quality
culture that training is one of the most important motivators
in any organization’s armoury.

CONCLUSION

Being an ISO 9001:2008 certified institution; the standard encourages proper documentation
and proper record keeping though from the study findings it was evident that records
management suffers from nonconformities. This is evidence from a report presented on
implementation of ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System during a Non-Teaching Heads
of Departments meeting on Tuesday 26th June, 2012. Poor records control (not keeping
records well, poor filling, no folioing, no labelling), lack of feedback analysis were the recurring
nonconformities at the University. This has also been noted in the ISO 9001:2008 Surveillance
Audit Report on Moi University-Main Campus conducted by KEBS between 9th -11th October
2013 where it reports that there is lack of records protection, poor documentation,
commitment in enhancing quality seem to be deteriorating and that customer
complaints/feedback do not meet the requirements of ISO 9001:2008.

RECOMMENDATION 11

According to the findings, the study established the following recommendations or strategies.
Firstly, development of a records management program and policy to guide and improve the
quality of recorded information in the university in line with the university’s set goals and
objectives from creation maintenance storage and disposal of records. Next, introduction of
electronic records management system to enhance efficiency in terms of speed, accuracy,
security of records and to also encourage a backup system. Thirdly, employment of qualified,
adequate staff to handle the management of records has also been recommended so as to
enhance professionalism thus curb the issue of nonconformities. Moreover, sensitization of
staff through workshops seminars on records management and its importance in service
delivery as this will enable each staff have knowledge and appreciate the importance of
creating and handling records. In addition, placement of records management within the
organizational structure as an indication there is responsibility and commitment by the
management and the organisation at large towards records management. Lastly, employment
of a Records Manager to guide and oversee the records management practices in the
university.

12/3/2019 RECOMMENDATION AND FURTHER RESEARCH
I think this LCA in Thailand is a very good opportunity and options for the
consumers to choose. I personally agreed with the authors, that prices and
service quality are moving in the same direction as the tourism industry in
Thailand which had dominantly impacted the Thai economic especially in the
Thai airlines industry.

CONCLUSION
Peeticha Tanomsin and Chenin Chen had presented a realistic research that the
factors influencing customers’ satisfaction and loyalty towards low cost airlines

business continuity planning steps. At first, I found it quite hard to
understanding these topics because it consists few steps that it would take time
to know each of the steps better, but with the help from the lecturer, Dr
Nurussobah. I finally know how to differentiate all the steps. When the disaster

Next, the experience I gain from completing this assessment given by the Dr

kind of website exist, and easier for me to find more articles about the topic given
based on journal of research. Second experience Is I managed to complete this
assessment for one day from morning to night searching for the information and
any additional details regarding the business continuity planning. Other
experience I gain from learning this subject is get to know news or other things
that related and unrelated to the subject. What I mean was, Dr Nurussobah
always telling us a story related to the topic we have learned or story of
experience of Dr Nurussobah had. Because of that, it helps me a lot to relate the
topics in the subject with the real life.

The proposals presented here have to be supported by progressive international climate policy. The 
Fourth Assessment Report of Working Group III of the IPCC made it very clear that agriculture is the 
sector most sensitive to carbon pricing policies. Consequently, an agreement to globally tax GHG, or 
to establish a global carbon emission trading scheme, would be the best way to support local and 
organic agriculture solutions. Such a clear price signal would – in conjunction with the policies 
presented before – transform markets and mean a breakthrough for sustainable agriculture.
