dc.description.abstract | Strategic management is concerned with strategy formulation,
implementation and control. This process involves specifying an
organization's objectives, developing policies and plans to achieve these
objectives, and allocating resources so as to implement the plans.
This study focuses on strategic management and its relation to
performance of private sector organizations in Kenya with specific
reference to the tea-manufacturing firms in the country. The main interest
was to find out the relationship between the state of strategic
management and performance of private sector organizations through a
census survey of the tea manufacturing organizations in Kenya.
This study is presented in five chapters and sections through which the
researcher has tried to discuss the above issues. Quantitative as well as
qualitative data analysis has been utilized. Summary tables containing
mean scores, frequencies and percentages have been used extensively in
presenting the findings of the study.
The major finding of the study was that the level of practice (state) of
strategic management had a direct positive contribution to the
performance of the organizations studied. Those organizations that did
not practice strategic management performed relatively poorly compared
to those that practiced. Emerging strategic management knowledge was
therefore making a major contribution to the economic development of
the nation.
The findings of this study should be understood and evaluated in light of
the limitations of the study.- This study is especially helpful to the tea
industry and other similar organizations in Kenya. It should generally be
useful to the Directors and Managers of private sector organizations, and
particularly those in the tea industry, whose responsibilities include
formulating and implementing strategies. | en |
