This study examined the influence of competitive intelligence strategy on growth of listed commercial banks in Kenya. The study adopted descriptive survey design and used structured questionnaire to collect primary data. The targeted 120 managers of relevant sections in listed commercial banks in Kenya, where Yamame’s stratified sampling formula was used to calculate a sample size of 93 respondents who were selected through simple random sampling. SPPS version 24 was used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to summarize data using frequencies, percentages and means while inferential statistics was computed to examine correlation, linear and multiple relationships between the independent and dependent variables. A total of 93 questionnaires were sent to the listed commercial banks for data collection and 85 questionnaires were returned completely filled, depicting a response rate of 91.4% which was very good for generalizability of the research findings to a wider population. Both descriptive and inferential statistics showed that all the conceptualized independent variables (operational excellence, strategic alliance, product and customer intimacy intelligence) significantly influence growth of listed commercial banks (dependent variable). The study concluded that one, operational excellence significantly influences growth of commercial banks in the sense that efficient operations improve service quality; two, banks that engage in strategic alliance with telecommunication firms and agency banking can realize an increase in customer base; three, commercial banks with high customer intimacy intelligence can get reliable information about key products that attract and retain a huge customer base. The study recommended that one, operations managers in commercial banks should roll out innovative process operational tools to improve operational efficiency, two, managers of listed commercial banks should engage viable strategic mergers with telecommunication firms and reinforce agency banking so as to attract and retain more customers that can boost bank growth; and three, marketing managers in commercial banks should have an effective customer feedback mechanism so as to timely address product and service related complaints from customers so as not to compromise the cherished relationship that the customers have with their commercial banks.

The central problem of this study was that despite the many government initiatives towards improving security in the country, actual law enforcement had been declining in the country. Influences to this low quality of law enforcement in the country had not been investigated nor understood by the concerned, thus hindering democratic policing and lack of accountability to civilians in the exercise of police power by the law enforcement agency Kenya Police Service, who are mandated with law enforcement in the country. The consideration of the relationship between resource allocation as the independent variable in this study and the quality of law enforcement as the dependent variable was sought. The purpose of the study was to determine the influence of resource allocation on the quality of law enforcement in Kenya. The unit of analysis was the Kenya Police Service. The study used a descriptive survey design that was cross-sectional with the list of the Administrative officers of the Kenya Police Service as the sampling frame. The questionnaire and an interview guide were used to gather relevant information from the respondents. Data collected was analysed using both the descriptive and inferential statistics. The study established that resource allocation has a positive significant influence on the quality of law enforcement in Kenya. The study recommended that proper planning and management of those resources involving the users of the said equipment. The management of the Kenya police resources should be assigned to skilled professionals with the technical knowhow and necessary management skills who would allocate resources to areas that correspond to functions or organizational units. The Kenya Police Service should also have an independent organ for resource allocations without having to go through the internal affairs ministry which makes the chain lengthy and compromised.

本研究的核心问题是,尽管政府为改善国家安全状况采取了许多举措,但该国的实际执法水平却在下降。有关方面既没有调查也不了解造成该国执法质量低下的影响因素,因此妨碍了民主警务,而且授权在该国执法的执法机构肯尼亚警察署在行使警察权力时缺乏对平民的问责制。在本研究中,资源分配作为自变量,执法质量作为因变量,二者之间的关系需要考虑。研究的目的是确定资源分配对肯尼亚执法质量的影响。分析单位是肯尼亚警察署。研究采用横截面描述性调查设计,以肯尼亚警察署行政官员名单为抽样框架。调查问卷和访谈指南用于收集受访者的相关信息。对收集到的数据进行了描述性和推论性统计分析。研究结果表明,资源分配对肯尼亚的执法质量具有积极的重要影响。研究建议对这些资源进行适当规划和管理,这涉及到上述设备的使用者。肯尼亚警察资源的管理应分配给具有技术知识和必要管理技能的熟练专业人员,由他们将资源分配到与职能或组织单位相对应的领域。肯尼亚警察署还应该有一个独立的资源分配机构,而不必通过内务部,因为内务部会使资源分配链变得冗长且受到影响。关键字优质执法、资源分配、警务、影响 参考文献:Kamau, C.

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of network structure on financial performance of medium sized enterprises in Kenya. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The target population was drawn from 51 medium sized enterprises in Kenya which participated in the KPMG top 100 mid-sized ranking for the period 2011 to 2015. Multi stage, systematic and purposive sampling was used to select a sample of 255 which had the data needed in the study. Primary data was collected using questionnaires which were pretested for reliability and validity to determine it suitability for use in the study. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used in the analysis of data to generate frequency distribution of the responses and descriptive statistics. It was found that network structure was positively and significantly related to financial performance. The finding lends support to the social network theory, indicating that the more networks the entrepreneur is linked to the more it will affect financial performance. The study findings were that alliances, partnerships, collaborations, or networking assisted the entrepreneur with an access to other individuals’ links. Thus, there will be an extended web of associations that will ultimately lead to identification of new prospects and a broader network of customers and clients. This was evidenced by the responses from the respondents who participated in the study. The findings encourage managers to engage in active networking with different actors within and outside of existing networks and especially with those who are relevant to the business in which the manag­er and a firm operate. The results strongly support the necessity for managers to create ac­tive co-operational relationships. The study concluded that an individual can be constrained in a network if they have too few contacts; has contacts closely connected with one another; or shares information indirectly via a central contact. It can thus be settled that businesses with larger advantage-generating or advantage-improving capacities could gain more from solid network structure, while those with inferior abilities are better off if they form coalition with enterprises from distant network groups, and hence forming a network structure endowed with comprehensive entrepreneurial networks. The study recommended that medium enterprises should become entrenched in various forms of network structure since through this they can track varied competitive approach. It is also recommended that medium sized enterprises in Kenya invest in networking activities, close interconnections and suitable resource partners that would ensure that they maintain a key network behavior which is aligned to the industry leaders.

本研究旨在探讨网络结构对肯尼亚中型企业财务业绩的影响。研究采用了描述性调查设计。研究对象来自肯尼亚 51 家中型企业,这些企业都参加了 2011 年至 2015 年毕马威中型企业 100 强排名。采用了多阶段、系统性和目的性抽样,选取了 255 个样本,其中包含研究需要的数据。使用问卷收集原始数据,并对问卷的可靠性和有效性进行了预先测试,以确定其是否适合在研究中使用。在分析数据时使用了社会科学统计软件包(SPSS),以生成答案的频率分布和描述性统计。研究发现,网络结构与财务业绩呈显著正相关。这一发现支持了社会网络理论,表明企业家所联系的网络越多,对财务业绩的影响就越大。研究结果表明,联盟、伙伴关系、合作或联网有助于创业者获得其他个人的联系。因此,会有一个扩展的联系网,最终导致识别新的潜在客户以及更广泛的客户和顾客网络。参与研究的受访者的回答证明了这一点。研究结果鼓励管理者积极与现有网络内外的不同参与者建立联系,特别是与那些与管理者和公司业务相关的参与者建立联系。研究结果有力地证明了管理者建立积极合作关系的必要性。研究得出的结论是,如果一个人的联系人太少、联系人之间联系紧密或通过中心联系人间接分享信息,那么他在网络中就会受到限制。因此,创造优势或提升优势能力较强的企业可以从稳固的网络结构中获得更多收益,而能力较弱的企业则最好与来自较远网络群体的企业结盟,从而形成一个拥有全面创业网络的网络结构。研究建议,中型企业应扎根于各种形式的网络结构,因为通过这种结构,它们可以追踪各种竞争方式。研究还建议肯尼亚的中型企业投资于网络活动、密切的相互联系和合适的资源合作伙伴,以确保它们保持与行业领导者一致的关键网络行为。关键字网络结构、财务绩效、中型企业、创业网络 参考文献: Kirimi, D.

The insurance uptake in Kenya is estimated to be at 6.8% of population and is served by 50 insurance companies who are members of the Association of Kenya Insurance. Evidently, the competition within the industry must be steep for any insurance firm seeking to make substantial gains in market share. Creating cost advantages and leveraging on them can significantly improve the performance prospects of the insurance firms and enable them to remain competitive in the active markets and break new ground in potential markets. However, the aspect of cost leadership has not been explored in detail in regards to the competitiveness of insurance firms in Kenya. The objective of the study, therefore, was to determine the effect of cost leadership strategy on performance of insurance companies in Nairobi, Kenya. The study was guided by the Resource Based View strategies. Descriptive survey design was adopted for the study that also targeted 1443 top, middle and lower level managers in 43 insurance companies registered in Nairobi. From these 54 managers were selected for the study using systematic random sampling. Data was collected using pretested copies of a structured questionnaire developed by the researcher. Data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. The findings revealed that the cost leadership strategy employed by the insurance firms moderately affected their performance. The study recommended that insurance firms should embrace and invest in cost leadership strategies most especially forming linkages with service providers, suppliers and other supplementary institutions .  Keywords: Cost leadership Strategy, Generic Strategies, Performance ITATION: Msinga, S.

据估计,肯尼亚的保险覆盖率为人口的 6.8%,有 50 家保险公司为肯尼亚保险协会会员提供服务。显而易见,对于任何一家想要大幅提高市场份额的保险公司来说,行业内的竞争都是非常激烈的。创造成本优势并加以利用,可以大大改善保险公司的业绩前景,使其在活跃市场上保持竞争力,并在潜在市场上开辟新天地。然而,关于肯尼亚保险公司的竞争力,成本领先方面还没有详细的探讨。因此,本研究旨在确定成本领先战略对肯尼亚内罗毕保险公司绩效的影响。研究以资源观战略为指导。研究采用了描述性调查设计,对象是在内罗毕注册的 43 家保险公司的 1443 名高层、中层和基层管理人员。通过系统随机抽样,从中挑选出 54 名管理人员进行研究。数据收集使用的是研究人员编制的结构化问卷的预试副本。数据分析采用了描述性和推论性统计方法。研究结果表明,保险公司采用的成本领先战略对其业绩影响不大。研究建议,保险公司应接受并投资于成本领先战略,尤其是与服务提供商、供应商和其他补充机构建立联系。 关键词成本领先战略、通用战略、绩效 ITATION: Msinga, S.

The general objective of this research was to identify the effects of cash payments to the Kenyan economy and how to best address it. It closely examined the existing state of cash payments and its upshots not only to the merchant/recipient but also the payer and the banks, with an aim of determining how instant bank payments could plug in to save the situation. Cash is widely used not only in Kenya but also other economies both regionally and globally. Any of its negative effects such as costliness and inefficiency, among others discussed herein, can be considered widespread and in dire need of mitigations for the sake of developing stronger economies. The specific objectives of the study were to: Investigate the cost of cash payments to the consumer, establish how cash payments affect merchants, investigate the impacts of cash payments to the banking industry and to establish the role of instant bank transfers in a cash-intensive economy. The study employed desktop study method to collect and analyze data on the effect of cash payments on the Kenyan economy. Finally, conclusion was made and recommendations proposed to address the gap identified in the study. Key Words: Cash Payments, Banking Industry, Merchants, Bank Transfers ITATION: Amayo, S. A.

The well-being of the employees and their happiness must be the precedence of every successful enterprise in order to satisfy the customers and achieve the best results.  Research has consistently shown that employee engagement is powerfully linked to a range of organizational success factors Worker engagement; emotionally or intellectually is very essential to the success of the organization. The positive feelings that employees experience about their business and employers affect certainly the customer satisfaction in terms of service, loyalty and engagement. Furthermore, engagement can give every employee the feeling to perform in the best way, by learning new skills and completing all the work with innovative suggestions. Organizations measure engagement in different ways that agrees with its nature. Some organizations that have established and carried out efficient employee engagement programs or schemes have enhanced their productivity and performance by more than 20%. In addition, the firms have greatly reduced employee turnover by more than 87%, which shows that employment engagement provides firms with a channel for development and profitability. This study aimed to examine employee engagement and organisational performance in the public sector. The study aimed at reviewing literature from the Kenyan case of employee engagement and how it had affected performance in the public sector. After the presentation at the theoretical framework summarized by a deep literature review, a methodological and empirical posture was elaborated to analyze the factors that influence the employee engagement in the public sector. The paper explored the concept of engagement and why it is important; The research reviewed findings in recent literature about the antecedents and outcomes of engagement (both generally and within public service in particular); Amongst the factors identified in the Kenyan case included ; Dedication engagement on organizational performance in the civil service; Vigour engagement on organizational performance, Absorption engagement on organizational performance the moderating role of supervisor’s support on the relationship between employee engagement and organizational performance in the public sector in Kenya.

每一个成功的企业都必须把员工的福祉和幸福放在首位,这样才能让客户满意,取得最佳业绩。 研究一致表明,员工的敬业度与一系列组织的成功因素密切相关。 员工的敬业度对组织的成功至关重要,无论是情感上还是理智上。员工对企业和雇主的好感肯定会影响客户对服务、忠诚度和敬业度的满意度。此外,敬业度还能让每一位员工感受到,通过学习新技能和以创新建议完成所有工作,他们能以最佳方式完成工作。各组织会根据敬业度的性质,用不同的方法来衡量敬业度。一些组织制定并实施了高效的员工敬业度计划或方案,其生产率和绩效提高了 20% 以上。此外,这些企业还大大降低了 87% 以上的员工流失率,这表明员工敬业度为企业提供了发展和盈利的渠道。本研究旨在探讨公共部门的员工敬业度与组织绩效。研究旨在回顾肯尼亚关于员工敬业度以及员工敬业度如何影响公共部门绩效的文献。在介绍了通过深入的文献综述总结出的理论框架后,阐述了方法论和实证态势,以分析影响公共部门员工敬业度的因素。论文探讨了敬业度的概念及其重要性;研究回顾了近期文献中关于敬业度的前因和结果(包括一般情况和公共服务领域)的发现;在肯尼亚案例中确定的因素包括:公务员敬业度对组织绩效的影响;活力敬业度对组织绩效的影响;吸收敬业度对组织绩效的影响;主管的支持对肯尼亚公共部门员工敬业度和组织绩效之间关系的调节作用。关键字员工敬业度、生产力 参考文献: Amahwa, O.
