Description

This research aimed to examine the barriers emerging from organisational structure, communication strategies and management commitment to corporate strategy implementation. The independent variables within the framework were organisational structure, communication strategies and management commitment, and the dependent variable was corporate strategy implementation. The research used a case study design with a quantitative approach. A nonprobability sampling technique with a total population sampling procedure was used guided by the three specific objectives (i) To assess the influence of organisational structure on strategic leadership in managing corporate strategy implementation (ii) To determine the influence of communication strategies on strategic leadership in managing corporate strategy implementation at Safina Media Group and (iii) To identify the contributing factors to management commitment in facilitating corporate strategy implementation at Safina Media Group. The main data collection instrument was a questionnaire distributed to 55 workers in total, and all 55 usable responses were received and analysed through SPSS 25. The objectives of the study were achieved through descriptive analysis. The analysis revealed that the highest rated barriers to effective strategic leadership are the information management system, poor communication, innovativeness and technology (M = 2.31, DS = 0.99 and M = 3.3304, SD = 1.27 and M = 2.26, SD = 1.04 and 2.28, SD = 1.99) respectively. This could be interpreted that a poor information management system, poor communication, poor innovativeness and low technology form barriers to effective strategic leadership in corporate strategy implementation at Safina Media Group. The findings and conclusion give recommendations that Management needs to understand the importance of managing information, communication, and technological innovations in a long-term perspective. Staff should be given information to carry out their human resource activities as well as make individual holders of management positions aware of the consequences of weak relationships with any employee on corporate strategic implementation. Last but not least, this similar study should be carried out with other entities of similar characteristics for comparison of the findings obtained and the validity of outcomes.

effects of computer literacy on the job performance of modern secretaries- Secretarial studies research project
This project attempted to identify the effects of computer literacy on the job performance of modern secretaries and to find out if secretaries without computer knowledge can be conveniently employed in a modern office. The researcher used all the secretaries and some administrative staffs in Kisii Government Secretariat which is 75 staffs as the population of the study. However, because of the smallest of the population size, the researcher used the entire population of secretariat for the study. The instrument used for data collection was a 20-item structured questionnaire called ECLOSEC (effects of computer literacy on secretaries) which was prepared by the researcher. The researcher in order to get the needed result distributed questionnaire to some staff of the CountyGovernment secretariat which was the area of study of this project, and their responses were converted. The researcher was able to found out that there are some effects of computer literacy on modern secretaries which are speed and accuracy, neatness, easy edition, formatting and saving of documents. Also that secretary without computer knowledge cannot be employed in a modern office. Furthermore, the researcher agreed that the major problem of secretaries is the fear that computer has come to replace them because they know fully well that without computer knowledge they would not be able to do their work perfectly in a modern office. The researcher noticed that students are not taught word processing as a serious course and this has contributed to their failure in performing their job. It was as a result of these findings, the researcher suggested that every secretary should try hard to become computer literate by going for the training so as to secure gainful employment in a modern office.

The population consisted of 30. Questionnaire and interview were used for data collection. Data collected from the questionnaire were analyzed using simple statistics (mean). None of the libraries under study was into a consortium with one another. However, the study revealed twelve challenges with cost as a major challenge of selection and acquisition of resources. The study recommended that the Nyamira libraries in Kenya should improve on the libraries budget in order to attain to the cost of resources electronically and for the training of staff that will handle the resources collection development. That the libraries should take a drastic initiative of acquiring resources through a consortium in order to enjoy the discount associated with consortium subscription.

Desgin of a model biogas- science lab technology
e main purpose of this project was an attempt to modulate and simulate two existing biogas plant, situated in Meru and evaluate how the process reacts to certain conditions regarding feeding, layout and substrate mixture. The main goal was to optimize the existing processes to better performance. Both the modeling and simulation were executed in Biogas with accordance to the real conditions at the plant in question. The simulation of each model was validated against data containing measurements of, CH4 yield, CH4 production. The data was obtained from each plant in accordance with scheduled follow ups. Both models were statistically validated for several predictions. Predictions of N-total and NH4-N concentration failed for some cases. Both plants were tested with new process lay outs, where promising results were obtained. The model was provided with a post-hygienization step to handle domestic tasks. The biogas model was provided with a dewatering unit, where 35% of the concentrate was recalculated back to the system. Both setups were configured to yield the highest CH4 production. This study suggests that Biogas can be a tool for predictions and optimizations of the biogas process.
