Abstract
A survey study of 300 enterprises in North-East England yielded new informa tion on the records management procedures in small and medium-sized enterpr ises. The survey showed that companies with more formalised management stru ctures took a more organised approach to records management, and companies with various formal policies paid more attention to records management. Rec ords management practices seemed to be independent of company size and indu strial sector.
