EFFECT OF TURNAROUND STRATEGIES ON PERFORMANCE OF PUBLIC CORPORATIONS IN KENYA

Many public corporations experiencing decline in performance have opted to implement turnaround strategies to improve their performance. This study extends previous research findings by seeking to examine the effect of turnaround strategies on performance of Public Corporations in Kenya, by identifying the turnaround strategies adopted in these Corporations, and to determine the effect of turnaround strategies on their performance. To achieve this objective, correlational research was adopted. The target population comprised 162 public corporations in Kenya. A purposive sample of thirty two (32) corporations was used in the study. A Likert type scale questionnaire was administered to respondents to collect data from the selected public corporations. Primary data was complemented with secondary data collected from the corporations for the previous three years. Data collected was edited and processed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Descriptive statistics that is in percentages were used to describe the research variables. Pearsons product moment coefficient was used to examine the relationship between turnaround strategies and organisational performance and multiple regression was used to establish the effect of turnaround strategies on performance of the corporations. The results showed a significant positive relationship between turnaround strategies and performance, P-value<0.05. The positive relationship suggests that when declining corporations implement turnaround strategies (revenue generating and cost reduction strategies) their performance when measured using the balance scorecard measurement tool which measures financial perspective, customer satisfaction, internal business processes and innovation and learning perspectives, will improve positively. The findings also found that cost reduction strategies had a greater effect on the performance of public corporations in Kenya compared to revenue generating strategies. Therefore, it can be recommended that public corporations need to implement turnaround strategies to turn around declining corporations. The study also recommends areas of further research.

The Impact

The occurrence of landslides can not be separated from conditions that are prone to landslide movements such as steep slopes and high rainfall. The occurrence of landslides is also exacerbated by the indiscipline of the community in using land according to its function, which is called land conversion which can be a trigger factor for landslides. Conducting research on land use change is important to see the impact caused by human activities. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of land conversion on landslide hazard levels in Samigaluh District, Kulon Progo Regency. The method in this research was descriptive quantitative using primary data, namely field surveys and secondary data collection. The steps on this research were conducting field observations about the occurrence of land conversion and then retrieving level of landslide hazard at the observation point of land use change. Data analysis was performed using ordinal logistic regression. The result of the analysis showed that the p value (0.036) <0.05 which meant H0 was rejected. Thus, at the 95% confidence level it could be said that the variable of land use change affected the level of landslide hazard in Samigaluh District, Kulon Progo Regency. This output could be considered for the community to use the land according to its function. Key words: Land Function Change; Landslide; Ordinal

CSR is the obligation of businessmen to follow specific policies for making decisions or to do certain actions with the purpose of recognizing the need of society or any ethical factor to be followed in the entity. It is also for mangers to have responsibility for the public good, where that includes investigating whether the action is effective and contributes in promoting the public good and for advancing the basic societal beliefs to manage and contribute in its stability, harmony and strength. Corporate managers are normally appointed as being public trustees. The UAE offers insights into CSR because other Middle Eastern countries have not adopted the concept as quickly as the UAE. One indication of CSR in the UAE is its transparent firms. This article explores the current stage of CSR implementation in Arab countries, with special attention given to the UAE. An in-depth study was conducted to explore CSR implementation among local managers. Primary data from 198 questionnaires and case studies were analyzed to obtain valuable insights into the current state of CSR in the UAE. Key concepts are highlighted regarding the definition and practices of CSR in the UAE. Secondary data from both western and eastern cultures was also analyzed to examine the extent of adoption and adaptation of CSR and corporate philanthropy from multiple perspectives. Findings suggest all organizations, both local and multinational, must consider environmental and stakeholder interests in order to become global. Some confusion appears to exist between the concept of philanthropy and CSR. Some CSR highlighted by firms includes following regulations effectively and efficiently, adopting environmentally friendly business processes, organizing seminars, and creating awareness of the concept among peers. Although CSR is maturing in the Middle East, UAE firms need to improve CSR to compete with the practices that have become the CSR standard in western countries. In the last few years, governments and local organizations have strictly enforced business ethics and environmental regulations to support the growth of CSR in the country.

Penelitian dilakukan di sebuah perusahaan distribusi di Jakarta dengan melakukan pengukuran kinerja menggunakan Balanced Scorecard agar bisa menganalisa secara keseluruhan perspektif antara lain perspektif keuangan, pelanggan, proses bisnis, dan pembelajaran dan pertumbuhan. Metode penelitian adalah dengan survey lapangan, wawancara dan kuesioner. Permasalahan adalah penurunan penjualan perusahaan sejak tahun 2017. Teknik Pengumpulan data yang penulis lakukan adalah dengan penelitian lapangan, penelitian langsung pada objek yang diteliti. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer dan data sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa perusahaan dalam keadaan sehat, perspektif yang paling rendah adalah perspektif proses bisnis internal, walau perspektif lain dalam keadaan baik, namum tetap perlu adanya kemajuan berkelanjutan. Perusahaan perlu untuk menambahkan lini product, setidaknya menambah supplier baru , karena di perspektif ini sangat rendah dan membuat bargaining power dari supplier tinggi. Malah jika memungkinkan mulai untuk memulai brand sendiri. Melakukan penugasan kembali job description karena beberapa sistem sudah tidak sesuai dengan karyawan yang baru, harus di sesuaikan lagi dan perlu mengisi kursi- kursi yang memang kosong supaya tidak terlalu pembebanan di individu - individu tertentu. Saran dari penelitian ini ada beberapa hal yang harus diperhatikan disarankan penambahan supplier, aftersales lambat, harus adanya SOP yang lebih baik dan sistem reward.Kata Kunci: Balanced Scorecard, pengukuran kinerja, manajemen strategis The research was conducted at a distribution company in Jakarta by measuring performance using the Balanced Scorecard in order to analyze the overall perspective, including financial, customer, business process, and learning and growth perspectives. The research method is by field survey, interview and questionnaire. The problem is the decline in company sales since 2017. The data collection technique that the writer does is by field research, direct research on the object. The data used are primary data and secondary data. The results showed that the company is in good health, the lowest perspective is the perspective of internal business processes, although other perspectives are in good condition, there is still a need for continuous progress. Companies need to add product lines, at least add new suppliers, because in this perspective it is very low and makes the bargaining power of suppliers high. In fact, if possible start to start your own brand. Reassigning job descriptions because some systems are no longer suitable for new employees, have to be adjusted again and need to fill empty seats so as not to be too burdensome for certain individuals. The suggestion of this research is that there are several things that must be considered, suggesting additional suppliers, slow after sales sales, better SOP and reward system.Keywords: Balanced Scorecard, performance analysis, strategic management
