This study sought to evaluate the relationships between top management team (TMT) heterogeneity, competitive repertoire complexity and firm performance. The study was grounded on the upper echelons theory which argues that the TMT characteristics affect the organization’s performance through their influence on strategic choices. This study sought to investigate this relationship using the complete array of strategies deployed by heterogeneous TMTs. The study was conducted through a cross sectional descriptive survey of 53 large food and beverage manufacturers in Kenya. Primary data and secondary data was collected through a structured questionnaire and checklist respectively and analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The study established that TMT heterogeneity had a significant negative effect on financial, internal processes and social performance in line with the upper echelons theory. Competitive repertoire complexity was not associated with TMT heterogeneity and did not significantly mediate the relationship between TMT heterogeneity and firm performance as expected from the information processing theory. This study contributed to the strategic management field by providing empirical evidence to the upper echelons and resource based view. Managers would benefit by careful consideration of how their TMTs were designed. Policy makers would also be aware about the competitive actions they adopted and their effect on their organizations performance.

The main objective of the study was to determine the relationship between BPR strategy and performance of food manufacturing companies in Kenya. The population of the study comprised of the food manufacturing companies in Kenya. A descriptive cross-sectional survey design was adopted in data collection and analysis. Primary data was collected from respondents using structured questionnaire, while secondary data was collected from published firm’s financial reports. Out of the 75 respondents targeted by the study, 44 respondents forming 56.67% response rate, which was considered adequate for analysis. 63.9% of variations in the overall firm performance is explained by variations in the BPR strategy namely resources mobilization for BPR, sponsorship and commitment, BPR cross functional teams, analytical processes selection, BPR prototypes, management of re-engineered processes, clear BPR definition and vision. Thus, there is a significant relationship between BPR strategy and performance of food manufacturing companies in Kenya. This research makes several noteworthy contributions to the existing theory. Conceptually, the empirical relationship between BPR strategy and firm performance is significant where BPR strategy constructs independently and positively plays a role of fostering firm performance whereby the three significant predictors were: BPR prototypes, clear BPR definition & vision, and analytical processes selection. These three are distinct development elements of the BPR strategy which competitors are unable to imitate in the food manufacturing. The findings of this study offer suggestions that are beneficial to policy makers in the food-manufacturing sector in Kenya. Kenyan manufacturing firms have previously lacked fits well into the existing body of knowledge by holding that BPR strategy influence the firm’s level of performance and vice versa.

Upper Echelons Theory

The purpose of this study is to advance the current understanding of the relationship between top management team (TMT) diversity and firm performance in the fashion and luxury industries. Predictions from the relevant theoretical perspectives – namely, Upper Echelons and Social Psychology theories – are often conflicting, and the controversial nature of this phenomenon together with the lack of empirical studies in the fashion and luxury industries have inspired the research question to investigate the link between TMT diversity and firm performance. Moreover, this is even more relevant in a setting where human capital management is one of the main keys to the long-term survival of fashion and luxury brands. To this extent, a principal component analysis and subsequent regression analyses have been performed on a sample of 78 listed companies operating in the fashion and luxury industries, over the five-year period 2011-2015. Results indicate that TMTs with greater gender, international experience, and educational background diversity are positively associated with higher firm performance. Hence, we found support for the Upper Echelons Theory, which predicts organizational outcomes as a function of managerial characteristics, thus offering few practical implications for companies operating in these industries.

The Metabolic Syndrome

The increasing flow of globalization in all fields, technological and industrial developments have been many bring changes to people's behavior and lifestyle. Changes in food consumption patterns as well as reduced physical activity and environmental pollution also contribute to lifestyle changes. These changes have unconsciously influenced the epidemiological transition with the increasing cases of degenerative diseases. Along with these changes in human lifestyle, one of the problems that arise in the health sector is an increase in the incidence of metabolic syndrome. This study aims to determine the relationship of socioeconomic status with metabolic syndrome in outpatients at the Labuang Baji Makassar Hospital. This type of research is an analytic survey with a cross sectional approach. Sampling was done using accidental sampling technique with a sample size of 70 people. Data collection was carried out by collecting secondary data and primary data. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between socioeconomic status and metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome patients were found to be highest at the age of 60-69 years. Most of the people with metabolic syndrome are women with retired jobs. The metabolic syndrome incidence increases with the high level of education.
