Globalization has forced organization to change their operating strategies and adopt to the business environment in order to stay relevant. All organizations have moved to considering their service delivery as the new measure of organizational performance. More attention is thus shifting to factors that affect service delivery of various organizations as a whole or their core departments. This calls on the standards regulating agencies and more so the departments concerned with this to be at their utmost performance thus at their best service delivery. The most notable of these organizations is Kebs within the Kenyan context. The market surveillance department has the most important role in ensuring compliance to the standards. However, the performance of this department is not yet at par with the required standards under a global economy. Studies have thus been conducted to determine the reasons for this poor performance. Most of these studies fall short by giving mere symptoms of the problem but not the root cause which is strategic management. The main objective of the study was therefore to determine the effect of strategic management practices on service delivery by the surveillance department of Kebs this was supported by specific objectives which were to determine the effects of strategic formulation on service delivery by the surveillance departments of Kenya bureau of standards; to determine the effects of strategic planning on service delivery by the surveillance departments of Kenya bureau of standards; to determine the effects of strategy implementation on service delivery by the surveillance departments of Kenya bureau of standards and to determine the effects of strategic evaluation on service delivery by the surveillance departments of Kenya bureau of standards. The study was carried out in kebs as it is the main standards regulatory agency in the country and has all the elements in the other agencies thus the findings can be inferred to the others as well. The data for the study was collected from managers of KEBS ranging from junior management, middle level employees to senior management. The study used a sample based on the 10% of the target population therefore using 60 targeted respondents from whom responses was collected using Likert scale questionnaires. These were then sorted for consistency and accuracy leading to the use of 49 questionnaires which were coded and analyzed using mean and standard deviation followed by a simple regression analysis from which the findings of the study were drawn. The study found that there is a direct relationship between strategic management and service delivery. The highest contributor to this is strategic monitoring and evaluation followed by planning and implementation. It is thus surprising that the study found out that monitoring and evaluation was the weakest of the three strategic management variables. As a result, recommendation is made to have more emphasis on monitoring and evaluation, have stronger implementation as well as more attention on the weak areas of planning especially internal analysis and external analysis and involvement of junior employees in the process.

The study of this paper is to estimate the impact of specific knowledge management resources (i.e. knowledge management enablers and processes) on organizational performance. The purpose of this study uses survey data from 189 managers and structural equation modelling to assess the links between specific knowledge management resources and organizational performance. The solution show that some knowledge resources (e.g. Organizational structure, knowledge application) are directly related to organizational performance, while others (e.g. technology, knowledge conversion), though important preconditions for knowledge management, are not directly related to organizational performance. The survey findings were based on a single dataset, so the same observations may not apply to other settings. The survey also did not provide in-depth insight into the key capabilities of individual firms and the circumstances under which some resources are directly related to organizational performance. The study provides to testify linking particular knowledge resources to organizational performance. Such insights can help firms’ better objective their investments and enhance the success of their knowledge management initiatives. Prior research often utilizes composite measures when examining the knowledge management-organizational performance link. This bundling of the dimensions of knowledge management allows managers and researchers to focus on main effects but leaves little room for understanding how particular resources relate to organizational performance. This study addresses this gap by assessing the links between specific knowledge management resources and organizational performance. The results show that some resources are directly related to organizational performance, while others are not.

Water is literally the source of life on earth. The human body is 70 percent water. The study examined water resources and sustainable development in Northern Kenya in Isiolo District. Residents of Isiolo formed the target population. Cluster sampling was used to select villages which are more affected by scarcity of water. The study used survey design. The analysis was both qualitative and quantitative. The study found that inadequate water resource supply has been hindrance to the Tourism Development in the region particularly in Isiolo District and the Southern parts of Garissa District. Secondly, inadequate water resource supply in the region has limited employment opportunities in the area this explains the low income per capita of people in this region. In addition, their standard of living, income generation, labor efficiency, employment extra is rather low, because agricultural productivity industrial development is both in adequate due to water constraint in the area. Water scarcity has been a source of conflict in the study area. The overstocking as well as water scarcity in the area and also the nomadic pastoralist nature of the people of this region has resulted in constant migration of people with their animals from one district to another. However, despite the aridity nature of this area, some limited agricultural activities is possible mainly through irrigation. The paper recommends that the use of water harvesting technologies that are sustainable and environmental friendly should be given priority in both surface and ground water development; incentives to adopt roof catchments water supply should be encouraged and cost - sharing policy in water sector to meet both development and recurrent votes should be encouraged to reduce the budgetary constraints by the government.
