Abstract

State-owned corporations in Kenya are tasked with executing public functions on behalf of the government and supporting the private sector in delivering core commercial services. Procurement processes within these corporations are critical, given that they manage a significant portion of government spending. However, these corporations have been plagued by increased misappropriations, largely due to inefficient procurement practices. One notable weakness is the ineffective sourcing of key suppliers, which has exacerbated these procurement issues. The empirical literature suggests that electronic sourcing can help mitigate inappropriate procurement processes. Nonetheless, this issue has not been thoroughly explored within the Kenyan context, particularly among state corporations. This paper aims to address this gap by assessing the impact of electronic sourcing on the performance of state corporations in Kenya. The study is grounded in dynamic capabilities theory and employs a descriptive correlational research design. Data were collected from a sample of 153 respondents out of a population of 248, using a questionnaire administered physically through a drop-and-pick method. Analysis was conducted using SPSS, with quantitative data evaluated through descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (regression model). The findings indicate that electronic sourcing significantly affects the performance of state-owned corporations in Kenya. The study concludes that electronic sourcing is crucial for ensuring audit trails, enhancing service delivery, and managing operational costs effectively. Embracing electronic sourcing could, therefore, enable state corporations to improve their performance by becoming more effective in their roles and functions.

Abstract

This paper aims to examine the relationship between electronic supplier relationship management (e-SRM) and the performance of state corporations in Kenya. Effective management of supplier relationships is crucial for enhancing suppliers' contributions to organizational performance. However, the adoption of electronic means for managing these relationships has been insufficiently explored, particularly in the public sector. The study focused on all 248 state corporations in Kenya, from which a sample of 153 corporations was selected using a stratified random sampling technique. Employing a descriptive correlational research design, primary data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings indicate a significant relationship between electronic supplier relationship management and the performance of state corporations in Kenya (? = 0.843, P = 0.0001 < 0.05). The study concludes that the persistent underperformance of state corporations is significantly linked to the limited adoption of electronic supplier relationship management practices. Therefore, it is recommended that state corporations, through their senior management, including heads of procurement and supply chain, integrate electronic supplier relationship management to streamline their supplier relationships and enhance overall performance.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of competitive aggressiveness on the growth of public transport enterprises in Kenya. Public transport enterprises significantly contribute to the national economy, yet they encounter numerous challenges in their operating environment, such as evolving policies, regulatory changes, taxation issues, poor infrastructure, and inconsistent law enforcement, all impacting growth. While competitive aggressiveness is often deemed crucial for entrepreneurial success, exploring its effects in the Kenyan public transport sector is limited. This study addresses this gap, grounded in the resource-based view (RBV) theory of competitiveness. Employing a descriptive-correlational research design, the study surveyed all 261 public transport enterprises operating in Nairobi County. Data were collected via questionnaires and analyzed using SPSS, applying descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Results indicate a significant positive effect of competitive aggressiveness on enterprise growth (? = 0.704; p < 0.05). The study concludes that low levels of competitive aggressiveness among public transport entrepreneurs limit sectoral growth. It recommends fostering a more aggressive competitive approach to support enterprise expansion within this critical sector.
