dc.description.abstract | Strategic thinking can be divided into two segments; strategy formulation
and strategy implementation. Implementation of strategy being the
second phase of strategic management makes it a crucial stage in
strategy management process as it unites organisation behind strategy
and ensures that activities are done in a manner that tightly matches
requirement for first rate strategy implementation. However
implementation of strategy cannot take effect until they take the shape in
action like day to day processes and relationships that exists in
organisations.
This research project sought to determine the challenges faced by the
Ministry of Finance in their Strategic plan implementation and it also
sought to establish how the Ministry of Finance deals with the challenges
in the implementation of the strategic plan.
To achieve the stated objectives a case stud~research design was used
and primary data was collected in September 2007, Interview guide was
administered by interviewing on 2 secretaries and five heads of
departments.
The respondents were office of Financial--Secretary through Head of
Central Planning Unit and Permanent Secretary through Director of
Vll
Administration. The five Heads of Departments all responded making a
total of 7 respondents representing 100% response rate.
Content analysis was used ·to analyse the data which confirmed the
challenges faced by Ministry of Finance in their Strategic plan
implementation and organizational structure, communication culture
and resource mobilization.
Lack of scheme of service seemed to have been the most challenging
factor for Ministry of Finance Strategic Plan Implementation.
Communication also was found to be a major challenge since the
Ministry does not have communication policy as well as lack of reward
policy together with disparity in remuneration.
While the Ministry has dealt with the challenges by preparing proposed
Scheme of Service which have I\9t been approved on the method the
scheme has not addressed disparities on the other hand, the scheme in
remunerations properly.
There is need for more to be done on Scheme of Service and its impact on
strategy implementation in public sector especially Ministry of Finance to
validate this research. | en |
