INTRODUCTION
Records are one of the most vital elements in any organisation. They can be fractionated
into two groups, namely paper records and non-paper records. Examples of paper records include
computer printouts, correspondence, and appointment diaries whereas non-paper records are roll
microfilm, sound recordings, and x-ray films. To a greater extent evolving with current
technologies, the manufacturing of electronic records is also increasing as they are held in online
databases, or copied on magnetic tape. Each organisation is responsible for producing static,
authoritative, unique, and authentic records. Significantly, records administer a trustworthy,
legally verifiable reference of evidence for organisations. Records role throughout-in many
departments, such as human rights, accountability, infrastructure of policies, systems, standards,
and practices, knowledge management, human resources management, and financial
management. However, the collapse of organisations’ record-keeping systems could occur on
account of poor management practices. To overcome these, the organisation must take
authoritative action concerning the staff education, leadership value, accountability
considerations, and records accuracy. The implementation of IRMP or integration records
management programme is also a great alternative to avoid or reduce record collapse in
organisations.
I. Definition of records
The phrase records can be described as any kind of document in any kind of format such as
paper, electronic, cinematograph, or image. Either created or received in organisations. The
content of records determined its value

population. With market share after Alcatel-Lucent and Cisco, Huawei is a brand that also joins
the competitive ultra smartphone race.
The company is the largest provider of network and telecommunications equipment in China
and is also the world's largest provider of infrastructure equipment in mobile telecommunications
technology. Huawei's success is based on its strong and competitive R&D team. Huawei's
innovations have opened the market for its network and telecommunications equipment. Huawei
operates through three segments including carrier and consumer networks, and Huawei carrier
network business segments that are also involved in the construction and development of various
wireless networks, telecommunications software, fixed networks, and core networks, as well as
service solutions for telecommunications operators for Huawei.
However, for many observers, Huawei has never been one of the most dominant device
technology brands in the world. Especially in business-to-business (B2B) companies, Huawei's
biggest profits are still beyond the reach of the company. Key customers are also included in the
telephone and internet operators, using Huawei's expertise in providing quality service to
customers on their brand, not the Huawei brand. Therefore, it does not gain fame because of its
origins in China. With one-fifth of the world's population within China's borders, Huawei is still
growing at a small rate.

Figure 8: Huawei Strategy
This report explains the great progress Huawei has made over the last four years including four
strategies for sustainability which are digital inclusion, trust, security, ecosystems as well as
protection against a healthy and harmonious environment.
● Huawei's initiative in digital use TECH4ALL: Not leaving anyone in the digital
world.
In the report, the Huawei company said the COVID-19 pandemic had caused weaknesses in
the education and healthcare system in ways never before seen. As such, the company has
19
used a variety of innovative ICT solutions to give people in different regions the opportunity
to access the same technology to quality healthcare and education resources, in addition to
playing a role in combating the spread of the epidemic. In a report in 2020, Huawei launched
the Skills on Wheels and Connecting Schools program at several schools in Malaysia, where
it can benefit students and the community. Huawei has also used ICT solutions to assist in
the response to pandemics among the communities in which it operates by providing
technical assistance to the community. Huawei has done its best to support the local
community in times of great need. As part of Huawei's efforts in providing universal access
to digital technologies and applications, they have provided 15 accessibility functions in their
smartphone creations. People can use this function which enables them to enjoy a smarter
lifestyle more effectively.
● Become a company that remains focused: The second initiative is to build products,
satisfactory services, safe solutions, and high quality.
Through the following reports, Huawei believes technology needs to serve people in a way
that respects their full consumer rights through the right assurance of choice and consent.
Huawei considers cyber security and privacy protection a priority in protecting relationships
with users. In this regard, Huawei has launched the Software Process Trust Capability
Assessment Framework and Criteria which creates a complete set of reliable and effective
encoding production mechanisms. Huawei continues to ensure that communication runs
smoothly among the community and can support network stability under any circumstances.
Increased advances in technology can certainly help society better understand and protect
nature by reducing the impact of human activities. Huawei believes that technology can work
in balance with nature and can help make this place a better place. In its company's quest to
create a sustainable digital world, Huawei focuses on carbon emissions by promoting
renewable energy and contributing to the circular economy. The company also implements
the use of more environmentally friendly materials by designing durable products for longer
life where they have used more sustainable packaging to reduce waste.

Section 4 Records Management Issues
● First approach: record management is not an emphasis because records are not referenced
or used regularly in business operations. Therefore, an organisation does not give high
priority to the creation, use, maintenance, and disposal of records. Records are only
visible when there is a need to commemorate or celebrate events.
● Second approach: Records are needed to assist in improving an organisation's ability to
make informed and effective decisions to avoid past mistakes. Records can also increase
43
efficiency in better business transactions as well as increase accountability as well as
transparency.
44
for the company. It is also very important for employees to conduct data and information about
employees and customers in their company to maintain compliance with an organisation's
policies. If record management compliance is not performed properly, the excess amount of time
will be wasted on the task of finding related files or records due to the poor filing cabinet.
Precious office space is used as a paper storage space, this will force the company to pay a
premium price for document storage.
45
4.8 Manage digital assets in several locations
Record management is one of the most important functions of any type of organisation or
business. It requires an efficient and orderly ability to maintain digital assets and processes in
several locations, to ensure that the records or documents kept are accessible from anywhere and
at the same time are also from unauthorised access. The challenge to record management is to
find the right balance between security systems and accessibility. As such, a business needs to
use a security solution that enables an organisation to manage its digital assets in any location,
while making them accessible from anywhere. Therefore, it is up to a business to find an outlet
that can assist them in managing digital assets in any location and also provide a safe and
effective way to ensure that records are accessible at any time.
● Increased interest in storing information in electronic and paper formats can put pressure
on record management to determine future record management. The professionals in the
area will realise that they can be removed from their assignments if they continue the
conventional record management system. The staff needs to accept the fact that records
management skills today are indispensable to developing an efficient control system for
electronic records.
46
● The availability of IT to improve document and record control processes is crucial for
operations that use record management. Progressive record management can continue to
monitor new IT development processes as well as work with computer experts on using
IT technology to improve control of recorded information involving computers,
electronic mail, scanners, facsimile machines, communications networks, as well as
magnetic and optical storage.
47
Section 5 Proposes the Implementation of IRMP
An integrated records management programme is in place to guarantee that authoritative and
trustworthy records are created and maintained. It provides record management efficiency and
economy by avoiding duplication of work, producing and preserving just the records that are
required, systematising retention and disposal, and so on. There are several advantages to
implementing an IRM programme. The creation of integrated information management
initiatives is one example. Then there is the removal of redundant services. The IRM program's
implementation might increase access to and use of information and records. It has the potential
to lower the cost of records management services. The next step is to plan for the long-term
preservation of historical and research records through a systematic records management
procedure. An IRM programme is developed in six stages:
48
public, however some, such as company registrations, may be required by law to be seen. The
following are the stages involved in organising and controlling current records:
● analysing and restructuring records systems
● maintaining records systems
● developing and implementing classification systems
● developing and implementing records schedules
● appraising records and retaining those with continuing value while disposing of non-
current records.
49
The archive refers to records that are eligible for permanent preservation when they can be
used as evidence or for research materials. The archive is an elite body of records. It provides a
valid and reliable knowledge base on which it enables the records to be restored by
implementing a redesign and understanding. Without an archive, the missing record will remain
unknown. By documenting any decisions, important events of political, transactional, social, and
economic life, the archive can serve as a link in the chain of human history. The archive can also
be stored and operated by an archival institution specialist where records will be kept safe. The
archive plays a direct role in preserving and identifying the small and permanent percentage of
records that are at the centre of the mass of records produced in daily affairs. To fulfil this role,
the archive is likely to be directly involved in the record management process as long as it is
used as part of a careful and efficient record-keeping continuity. Records that have been
transferred to the archive repository to maintain records for longer, the archive will be involved
in the design process as well as the implementation of a record-keeping system to ensure culture,
as well as well-maintained business functions.
50
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, Huawei's success is due to the selection of accurate and good record
management in shaping various strategies to enter new markets and grow the company's
progress. The strategic decisions that the company and their policies have taken and
implemented, as well as training in analysing and identifying the advantages that companies can
achieve if they use different entry modes to penetrate specific markets. With its huge portfolio,
its products have contributed significantly to the company's rapid growth and transformed it into
one of the most important and well-known brands in the technology sector. Regardless of the
strategy, it can be seen that Huawei has to go through constant change to stay in the top position
and its current runners, and most importantly, at some point, his company may need to
implement radical changes to rebuild his company.
