Abstract

The agriculture industry is experiencing tremendous challenges across the globe due to various factors. These factors include globalisation, falling commodity prices, free-trade promotions, oversupply of goods and services, changes in subsidy policies, environmental changes, climate change, low-income elasticities in commodity markets, and over-reliance on raw products. This has resulted in the hopelessness of the agriculture industry leaving farmers seeking to explore the viability of alternative economic strategies in an effort to preserve and maintain the productivity of their family lands. Zimbabwe as an agro-based economy, with agriculture contributing substantially to the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP), is not spared by the scourge. Irrespective of the different challenges bedeviling farmers, they still need to remain viable. One key strategy that will be a panacea to this quagmire is the amalgamation of agriculture and tourism sectors under the concept of agritourism. This paper is a conceptual discussion that argues for the education of farmers on the concept of agritourism and its benefits. This is critical and necessary for economic development in Zimbabwe. The discussion positions education as an important ingredient for the adoption and success of agritourism. All the countries that are currently benefiting from agritourism use education as a way of imparting skills, knowledge and improving attitudes and perceptions among farmers.Keywords: agritourism; economic development; education; small-scale farmers.

Abstract

The study sought to evaluate the process of strategic management in urban councils in Zimbabwe. This was in response to notable failure in service delivery by these key institutions in the country. A quantitative research approach was used in the study with a population of 3031. Using a cluster sampling technique, a sample size of 341 professional employees was drawn, using the Krejcie Morgan sample size determination table. Data was collected using a questionnaire after having been pilot-tested.  and the reliability was tested through internal consistency, where Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of above 0.7 confirmed the reliability of the research instrument. Data analysis was done using an SPSS version 23. Descriptive statistical techniques which include mean, standard deviation, frequency, and percentages were used in the analysis of data. The elements of the strategic management process which are strategic intent, strategy formulation, and strategy implementation were used as variables for evaluation. The findings of the study revealed poor compliance with the process of strategic management by urban councils in Zimbabwe. The results indicate a lack of strategic management practice in urban councils in Zimbabwe thus confirming their notable poor performance in terms of service delivery. It is therefore recommended that in practicing strategic management, urban councils in Zimbabwe comply with its process for enhanced performance.   Keywords: strategic intent; strategic management practice; strategic management process; strategy formulation; strategy implementation
