This study aimed at investigating the effect of organizational culture and strategy implementation process of Private chartered universities in Kenya. The cross-sectional survey research design was adopted and it used both quantitative and qualitative data as it seeks the effect of organizational culture on the implementation of corporate strategy. The accessible population included Registrars, Deans, Directors, Heads of Departments, academic staff, and students’ leaders. This study used both stratified random sampling and the target sample size was 198 employees. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21 was used to analyze data.  The competing values framework was adopted to identify the organizational culture types that are displayed in Private chartered universities. A multiple linear regression model was also used to derive inferential statistical indicators.  Normality testing was done to compare the cumulative distribution of the data with the expected cumulative normal distribution and it bases its P value on the largest discrepancy. Two versions of Breusch-Pagan tests were conducted to test the null hypothesis on whether heteroscedasticity or homoscedasticity was present. Based on the regression analysis it was clear that the null hypothesis was rejected and the alternative hypothesis accepted. The conclusion was that Clan culture had a significant influence on the strategy implementation process of Private chartered universities in Kenya.  The results established that there was a linear positive relationship between Clan culture and strategy implementation which implies that an increase in Clan culture would lead to a linear increase in Strategy implementation in Private chartered universities in Kenya.

This study aimed at evaluating the effect of organizational culture on strategy implementation in Private chartered universities in Kenya. The objective of this study was to ascertain the effect of hierarchy culture on the strategy implementation in Private chartered universities in Kenya. A cross-sectional survey research design was adopted and it used both quantitative and qualitative data as it seeks the effect of organizational culture on the implementation of corporate strategy. The accessible population included University and students’ leaders. This study used both stratified random sampling and the target sample size was 194 employees. The statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 21 was used to describe the relationships between dependent and independent variables.  The study used correlation and regression techniques as well as the analysis of variance (ANOVA) to test the study hypotheses.  A multiple linear regression model was also used to derive inferential statistical indicators like the correlation, coefficient of determination, F-statistics, t-test statistic, and the p-value.  In this research Pearson’s correlation analysis was used to test for the existence of multicollinearity.  Normality testing was done to compare the cumulative distribution of the data.  Factor analysis was also carried out on all items in each variable in order to reduce the measurable and observable variables. The key finding based on the tests conducted in the study was that the variable: Hierarchy culture had an effect on the dependent variable: Strategy implementation. The p-value published showed that there was a positive effect of hierarchy culture on strategy implementation in Private chartered universities in Kenya

Abstract Widespread belief posits that a relationship exists between results obtained in European football competitions and live attendances at domestic league games. As part of the Europeanization process, international tournaments increasingly attract fans’ attention, often at the expense of national competitions, yet research up to date has focused on a wide array of explanatory variables for game attendance (spectator demand), but less on variables concerning how domestic teams perform in Europe. This article aims to fill the research gap by asking whether match attendances in national leagues can be predicted based on the results obtained by the domestic club teams in international competitions. UEFA team coefficients and domestic attendance figures for 74 European cup participations of Romanian teams spread over seventeen years from the 2000/2001 to the 2016/2017 season serve as input data for a regression model with an F-test and a p-value test. The Null Hypothesis instinctually claims no relationship exists between the variables, yet research results invalidate it for the good of the Alternative Hypothesis. The Discussions section presents what effects winning or losing in European cups can have on fans’ motivation to come and watch matches in the national league.

Clan Culture

The study aimed at establishing clan culture effect as an agent of strategy implementation in professional bodies in Kenya. The study’s anchoring theory was Cameroon and Queen’s Competing Value Framework (CFV) supported by McKinsey 7S Framework. Positivist philosophy adopting  descriptive correlation research design was implemented in the field. Key question was, “How does clan culture affect strategy implementation within the professional bodies registered with the Association of Professional Societies in East Africa within Kenya?” A census of all professional bodies with purposive proportionate sample of key respondents was undertaken. This sample involved managers of key departments involved in strategy implementation including Information Communication Technology (ICT), planning, human resources, procurement, marketing, and finance. From target sample of 168 respondents from 28 professional bodies, the study received 132 filled structured questionnaires for analysis. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied through  SPSS computer package using regression models to test the hypothesis H01: There is no relationship between clan culture and strategy implementation in professional bodies in Kenya. Findings indicated that, the coefficient for organization glue, (β = .153, t = 1.848, p<.05) and strategic emphasis (β = .299, t = 3.609, p<.05) which were the constructs for clan culture significantly predicted strategy implementation in professional bodies. Results led to rejection of the null hypothesis. Study findings are significant and implementable within various organizations including government,  industry players, and academia amongst others. From the findings, the study recommends leadership and policy planners to implement clan culture as demonstrated by the most successful organizations.

Foregone Conclusion

he “Full Bayesian Significance Test e-value”, henceforth FBST ev, has received increasing attention across a range of disciplines including psychology. We show that the FBST ev leads to four problems: (1) the FBST ev cannot quantify evidence in favor of a null hypothesis and therefore also cannot discriminate “evidence of absence” from “absence of evidence”; (2) the FBST ev is susceptible to sampling to a foregone conclusion; (3) the FBST ev violates the principle of predictive irrelevance, such that it is affected by data that are equally likely to occur under the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis; (4) the FBST ev suffers from the Jeffreys-Lindley paradox in that it does not include a correction for selection. These problems also plague the frequentist p-value. We conclude that although the FBST ev may be an improvement over the p-value, it does not provide a reasonable measure of evidence against the null hypothesis.

The Impact

This study examines the impact of liquidity on Islamic banks’ profitability during the years from 2010 to 2015. The study extracted its data from the annual reports of six Islamic banks in Bahrain that have been in operations on or before 2010 to 2015. The liquidity model is built from four liquidity variables namely cash & due from banks to total assets (CDTA), cash & due from banks to total deposits (CDTD), investment to total assets (INVSTA) and investment to total deposits (INVSTD). According to adjusted R squares profitability variables return on assets (ROA), return on equity (ROE) and return on deposits (ROD) are respectively 16.2%, 3.1% and 21.3% dependent on liquidity variables.The results of the study show that CDTD and INVESTD are correlated positively with ROE. In addition, CDTD, INVSTA indicate a negative correlation with ROE. Thus, only INVSTA and INVSTD found to be significant with ROE at 0.05 significant level. Durbin-Watson test shows that the residuals are uncorrelated since its value is approximately very close to 2. However, according to the P-value, the overall liquidity model (Model 2) is not significantly related with ROE. Thus, the null hypothesis (H0) is accepted and the alternative hypothesis is rejected for the ROE. Furthermore, the results in the table show that CDTA and INVESTD are positively correlated with ROD, and negatively with CDTA and INVSTA, and CDTA is the only insignificant variable. CDTD is significantly related with ROD at 10%. Durbin-Watson test shows that the residuals are positive auto - correlated since its value is approximately very close to 1. However, according to the P-value, the overall liquidity model (Model 3), is significantly related with ROD at 1% level.The researcher recommended for further studies to add more liquidity variables to the model so as to enhance and enrich Islamic banks outlook.

The main objective of the research study was to determine the effects of organizational culture on the success of strategy implementation in Water Boards in Kenya. The descriptive statistics data analysis method was applied to analyze data and presented in frequencies, percentage mean, standard deviation, and chi-square results. Finally, a multiple linear regression model was employed to establish the significance of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The findings are presented using tables and charts. The study findings showed that overall the organization culture influences 73% of the change in strategy implementation in the water boards in Kenya. This means that there is a significant relationship between strategy implementation and the culture of waterboards. The study recommends that; there is need for the waterboards management to encourage employees to work together and they need to involve employees in the decision making, the organization need to create room for creativity and does not follow rules because although it gives results it also limits the employee’s decision-making capacity and there is need for employees to be encouraged to be creative and innovative in taking risks.
