This study sought to establish the influence of establish the influence of organizational technology policies on the Growth of Micro and Small Enterprises in Nairobi, Kenya and; To determine the moderating effect of Entrepreneurial Orientation on organizational technology policies and the Growth of Micro and Small Enterprises in Nairobi, Kenya. The study was grounded on the Resource Based theory. The study adopted a descriptive research design since the design enabled the researcher to generalize the findings to a larger population of MSEs. In addition, this design enabled the researcher describe the characteristics of the population being studied as they exist at present hence minimizing biasness and maximizing the reliability of the evidence collected. This study was guided by positivism philosophy. The target population for this study comprised of all the 1835 Owners or managers of the MSEs registered with Nairobi City County and have operated for more than five years. Stratified and Simple Random sampling techniques was used to select a total of 184 respondents for the study. The study found out that organizational technology policies and organizational technology policies were the key variable that significantly influencing the Growth of Micro and Small Enterprises in Nairobi County, Kenya.

Motivation many be inform of incentives and rewards that motivates users to adopt and use technology in their operations. The is also need to invest in a strong and robust social media platform that are easy to use for most users. Social media networks can be harnessed to boast in product and services marketing and sourcing of market information among other.

Projects are marred with various challenges and uncertainties from the onset of their inception to implementation and completion phases. These uncertainties if not mitigated properly affect subsequent delivery of project objectives thereby causing delays, cost overruns and sometimes may lead to project failures. Therefore, risk response planning are major features in project management that project managers, project teams and related stakeholders must effectively employ to deal with the risks and uncertainties that may interfere with the projects in order to realize the project success. This study therefore sought to analyze the effect of risk response planning on project implementation among faith-based organizations in Kenya. The study focused on the projects in the Catholic Diocese of Ngong. Contingency theories informed the foundation upon which the study variables were reviewed to establish their relationships. The study adopted a descriptive case design to analyze how risk management practices affect the implementation of projects in Catholic Diocese of Ngong. The target population involved 240 members that were drawn from the PPC and PEC. The sample size was 72 members whom were selected by simple random sampling and purposive sampling techniques to give each member in the population a chance of selection and ensure that only those with relevant information are involved in the study. A structured questionnaire aided in gathering primary data for the study. The questionnaires were issued to the respondents through a drop and pick method and data collected were analyzed with the help of statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS) version 23. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive analysis while qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis and data presented in frequency tables, pie charts and graphs. The study found a strong significant positive relationship between risk response planning and project implementation.. The study recommended that organizations should formulate and put in place elaborate risk response plans to enable them succeed in their project implementation. The researcher further recommends for more studies to be conducted on risk response plans other than the ones the study concentrated as they only accounted for 57.8%.
