Abstract

State corporations are instrumental in dispensing the government’s functions and mandates, thus streamlining economic growth and development. With procurement being responsible for the largest portion of government’s spending, state corporations spend a significant amount of state resources. These agencies, however, continue to record a decline in performance despite being the biggest consumers of government revenue. The agencies have been blamed for inefficiency and poor integration of technological systems in their procurement processes, leading to gaps that see inefficiencies and ineffective management of public funds. While integration of electronic procurement in these corporations has been explored, key aspects of e-procurement such as electronic contract management remain under-explored. This study examined the extent to which state corporations have embraced electronic contract management and whether it has contributed to their performance. Descriptive correlation research design was adopted. The study targeted supply chain managers from 248 state corporations in Kenya. Using a sampling formula, a sample of 153 respondents was obtained and selected through a stratified random sampling technique. A questionnaire used to collect data for the study, which was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that electronic contract management significantly influenced performance of state corporations in Kenya. It was concluded that most of the corporations had not effectively embraced electronic contract management and this affected their performance. It is therefore recommended that the state corporations through the management ought to integrate electronic systems in managing contracts as a way of promoting effectiveness and efficiency in contract implementation.   Keywords:     Electronic Procurement, electronic Contract Management, Organizational Performance, state Corporations

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.
