The conceptual framework was developed using four main budgetary control components which are budgetary preparation, budget monitoring, budget analysis and contingent variables. The data collected from four mobile companies were analyzed using descriptive statistics with the use of frequency of each data point in the distribution and describes it using the mean, median or mode based on four propositions. Proposition 1: it is expected that adequate budgetary preparations will improve organizational performance through motivation and commitments to the implementation of budget goals. Proposition 2: it is expected that adequate budget monitoring through preventive and corrective actions will improve the organizational performance. Proposition 3: it is expected that adequate budgetary analysis will improve the organizational performance. Proposition 4: it is expected that the influence of budgetary control and organizational performance will be shaped by the presence of contingent variables. The findings indicate that budget monitoring and budget analysis is considered critical important components of budgetary control in influencing organization performance. On the other hand, the study found out that budgetary preparation and contingent variables were least considered. This has reached to a conclusion that the budgetary control influences the organizational performance.enBudget in businessOrganizational effectivenessTelecommunicationCell phone systemsTanzaniaThesis
