Advancement in technology also comes with several options for Pay TV customers such as online streaming which poses more threat to the market. This research seeks to assess the influence of strategic agility on the performance of the Kenyan Pay TV industry using Multichoice Kenya Limited as the case study. The objectives of this study were to establish the influence of leadership agility, determine the influence cultural agility, assess the influence of business agility, and to determine the influence of career agility on organizational performance in the Kenyan Pay TV industry. The study is of great significance to the government of Kenya since the improved performance of the Pay TV companies can generate more revenue for the government in form of taxes and license fees. New and existing Pay TV companies may also benefit from this study by employing agile strategies for competitive advantage as well as getting more information on how to handle uncertain situations in the business environment. Additionally, academicians who may want to research more on strategic agility may benefit by accessing more information from this study. The concept of strategic agility has not been sufficiently researched especially on the variables such as leadership agility, cultural agility, business agility, career agility and how they influence organizational performance. This research was anchored on four theories namely; The Great Man Theory, Theory of Change, Theory of Constraints, and the Broaden and Build Theory. The reviewed literature on these theories indicates that there is a positive influence of strategic agility on organizational performance. This is a crosssectional study which involves 60 employees with managerial roles. Descriptive design was used in this study adopting qualitative and quantitative methods. Data collection was done through closed and open-ended questionnaires, keeping a register of questionnaire distribution and feedback collection. A pilot study was carried out to determine the accuracy, clarity and relevance of the study questionnaire. Data analysis was carried using SPSS (V29) and multiple regression analysis. The study found that leadership agility, cultural agility business agility and career agility all have a significant effect on the performance of Pay TV firms in Kenya. The top leadership of firms in Pay TV industry should establish cross-cultural collaboration initiatives to encourage knowledge-sharing and teamwork among employees from different cultural backgrounds, foster a culture that encourages and rewards agile leadership behaviors, such as risk-taking and experimentation and encourage leaders to seek mentorship and coaching to enhance their agility capabilities, should invest in technology and infrastructure that support flexibility and adaptability in responding to market changes and also develop cross-functional teams that can quickly adapt to changing business requirements and address emerging challenges, implement career development plans and pathways that align with the organization's strategic objectives and employees' career aspiration and encourage a growth mindset among employees.

The importance of disaster risk reduction (DRR) has increased globally as recent years have seen ... more The importance of disaster risk reduction (DRR) has increased globally as recent years have seen a marked rise in the incidence and effect of disasters that result in significant human and financial losses. The frequent large-scale losses to infrastructure and livelihoods brought on by these catastrophes and their catastrophic effects increase the poor condition, widen the gap between the haves and have-nots, and harm the process of sustainable development itself. Concerns about climate change, associated extreme weather, and their effects all worsen community resilience. Due to the nature and susceptibility of their means of subsistence, disasters and poverty are frequently believed to be closely associated and causally linked. These unequal disaster impacts are most common in communities and mostly affect their livelihoods. This study therefore intends to explore impact of community resilience on disaster risk reduction among community in Kilifi county. The study used cross sectional research design and targeted local community organizations and related stakeholders. The study used structured questionnaires to gather the information for the study which will be analyzed using descriptive analysis using the SPPS software. For qualitative data, thematic and content analysis was used. The data was then presented in tables, graphs and charts. Results showed integrated community development programmes, financial sector programmes and all-inclusive education programmes had positive significant impact on disaster risk reduction among rural coastal communities in Kilifi county. The study recommended that it was important for all stakeholders to incorporate integrated community development programs, financial sector programs and all-inclusive education programs to foster community resilience in disaster risk reduction. The researcher further suggested that further research by other scholars can be done on disaster risk management policy implications on disaster risk reduction

The study also sought to establish the moderating effect of project environment on the relationship between monitoring planning and implementation of donor funded agricultural projects in Kenya. In the realm of donor-funded agricultural projects in Kenya, effective monitoring planning is integral to successful project implementation. Activities such as resource acquisition, organization of materials, and training farm operators depend on a wellstructured plan. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN, 2014) emphasizes the need for a seamless integration of techniques, procedures, people, and systems rooted in thoughtful planning. Methodology: This study employed a descriptive research design utilizing questionnaires as the primary data collection method, emphasizing a positivism philosophy grounded in quantifiable observations and statistical analysis. The target population encompassed various roles within donor-funded agricultural projects, totaling 383 individuals, with a sample size of 196 determined through simple random sampling. Reliability was assessed through a pilot test, utilizing Cronbach's Alpha, and statistical techniques were employed for data analysis, including descriptive statistics, multiple regression analysis, and statistical tests such as ANOVA. The study tested hypothesis related to the influence of monitoring planning on project implementation, as well as the moderating effect of the project environment. Findings: The study's statistical analyses reject the hypothesis (H01) that monitoring planning does not significantly influence the implementation of donor-funded agricultural projects in Kenya (F (1, 155) = 70.985, p < 0.001). Instead, it establishes a positive and substantial relationship between monitoring planning and project implementation, with monitoring planning explaining 31.4% of the variability in project outcomes (R 2 = 0.314, p < 0.001). Additionally, the second hypothesis (H02) suggesting no significant moderating effect of project environment on the relationship between monitoring planning and project implementation is as well rejected (F(2, 154) = 64.066, p < 0.001), emphasizing the statistically significant influence of project environment dynamics on the effectiveness of monitoring planning strategies Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Give that the study findings establishes a positive and substantial relationship between monitoring planning, project environment and project implementation, it is recommended that project managers and stakeholders actively recognize and account for the influence of project environment dynamics on monitoring planning. This entails conducting comprehensive assessments to tailor monitoring plans to specific project contexts, fostering adaptability and responsiveness to varying conditions. By collectively defining and adhering to best practices, the sector can enhance its ability to navigate diverse project environments effectively, ultimately contributing to the success of donorfunded agricultural projects in Kenya.

The study focused on the projects in the Catholic Diocese of Ngong. The study analyzed the effect of risk identification; risk response planning; stakeholder inclusion and organizational risk management policies on project implementation among Catholic Church construction projects in the Diocese of Ngong. Enterprise Risk Management, Contingency and stakeholder theories informed the foundation upon which the study variables were reviewed to establish their relationships. The study adopted a descriptive case design to analyze how risk management practices affect the implementation of projects in Catholic Diocese of Ngong. The target population involved 240 members that were drawn from the PPC and PEC. The sample size was 72 members whom were selected by simple random sampling and purposive sampling techniques to give each member in the population a chance of selection and ensure that only those with relevant information are involved in the study. A structured questionnaire aided in gathering primary data for the study. The questionnaires were issued to the respondents through a drop and pick method and data collected were analyzed with the help of statistical packages for social sciences (SPSS) version 23. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive analysis while qualitative data were analyzed through content analysis and data presented in frequency tables, pie charts and graphs. The study found a strong significant positive relationship between risk response planning, risk management policies and project implementation. The results also showed that there was a weak positive significant relationship between stakeholder inclusion, risk identification and project implementation though these had a direct link to a successful project implementation. The study recommended that organizations should formulate and put in place elaborate risk response plans to enable them succeed in their project implementation. The researcher further recommends for more studies to be conducted on risk management practices other than the ones the study concentrated as they only accounted for 57.8%.

Through an investigation of a real-world CSR initiative, we show that the challenger can reap superior business returns (i.e., more positive attitudinal and behavioral outcomes) among consumers who had participated in its CSR initiative, relative to those who were merely aware of the initiative. Specifically, participant consumers demonstrate the desired attitudinal and behavioral changes in favor of the challenger, regardless of their affective trust in the leader, whereas aware consumers' reactions become less favorable as their affective trust in the leader increases. Furthermore, participant consumers, but not aware ones, form a communal, trust-based bond with the challenger. This paper was accepted by Pradeep Chintagunta and Preyas Desai, special iss...

To achieve financial sustainability and increase profitability Organizations are obligated to review risks and plan for addressing, or mitigating, each of those risks to an acceptable level. In some cases, risks are accepted as is; in other cases, risks are transferred, and in still other cases, risks are minimized to a level acceptable to the organization. The impact of risk on the business environment deals with the level of understanding of cause effect relationships. The impact of a given state of events may cause uncertainty for a firm or business environment. By incorporating risk management into airport operations, JKIA is better equipped to exploit its resources; thereby enabling the organization to transform an expenditure activity into one that can yield a positive return. A risk management strategy is about achieving corporate goals. For many aviation organizations, dual goals exist such as the social and economic perspectives. The general objective of this study was to analyze the effect of risk management strategies on financial performance of JKIA. The study was guided by the following specific objectives: to find out the effect of risk reduction strategy on financial performance of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, to investigate the effect of risk mitigation strategy on financial performance of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, to determine the effect of risk assessment strategy on financial performance of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and finally to establish the effect of risk transfer strategy on financial performance of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The study was based on portfolio theory, Stakeholder theory, Agency theory and Profit maximizing and competition-based theory. A descriptive research design was adopted. The target population of this study comprised of 400 respondents across all the departments and staff ranging from senior managers to junior staff attached at JKIA.Yamane's formula (1967) was employed to determine the sample size to 120 staff members. Questionnaires were administered randomly to a sample of 120 respondents across the departments in the organization after a pilot study involving ten heads of sections in JKIA.

It is the elements influencing the inflow of overseas investment. Prudent communal debt administration encourages commercial stability and growth by leveraging resources at low borrowing costs and lowering financial risk exposure. The main subjects of this study are the public debt in Kenya and its connection to economic growth from 2011 to 2021. Most developing nations will anticipate a beneficial impact of public debt on economic progress. Therefore, government spending that would promote economic growth should be financed with funds from public bill. Equating to foreign arrears, there exist a weighty development in household dues, which leads to enquiries on how it will influence investments in Kenya. The empirical exploration, however, shows the opposite. The research also aims to establish the relationship between Kenya's financial development and its foreign dues, domestic arrears, and the overall cost of the debt payment. The Keynesian model and the Debt Overhang Hypothesis, has two opposing framework visions on state's debit outdate view and the Ricardian viewguided the analysis. GDP served as the dependent variable, and variations in public borrowings, the jobless rate, inflation, and total debt served as the predictor factors. From 2011 to 2021, data were gathered for all the parameters. According to the regression analysis findings, the constant was found to be 84.0, with the variables for inflation, the joblessness ratio, public inland arrears, and revolution in aggregate dues being 0.09, 0.39, 0.36, and 0.35 correspondingly. Results showed the difference in 1(one) unit of overall debts could result in a decrease of 6.0 units of internal product. In comparison, a variation in 1 unit of local government debt increases 5.9 units of local produce. Additionally, a change in joblessness would cause a decrease in the domestic product of 0.4 units for every unit that changed. Finally, 0.75 units of the domestic product would decrease for every unit of inflation. Rendering to the outcomes of the correspondence analysis, there is a negative link in GDP and each of the four explanatory factors taken into account. However, there is a major connection between aggregate inflation and debts. The regression model's probability value was deduced from the ANOVA findings. It was found to be 0.04, suggesting the model's importance in describing the link between the GDP and the factors under consideration.

The National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) was established under the NG-CDF A... more The National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) was established under the NG-CDF Act 2015 as amended in 2016 to address poverty and regional imbalances by dedicating a minimum of 2.5% of the National Government share of annual revenue towards community driven development projects in each of the country's parliamentary jurisdictions-the constituencies identified and implemented at grassroots level. Even though there is a budget calendar with elaborate budgetary process carried out by the Fund at the Constituency every fiscal year, with the aim of having minimal budget variances, there is statistical evidence to show that the Fund's implementation is still poor because budgets are not properly linked to the budget planning process and approved policies. This leads to huge variances and incomplete or poorly-done projects. The main objective of this study will therefore be to evaluate the factors affecting budget implementation in NG-CDF in Nyamira County, Kenya. The study will be guided by the following specific objectives; to establish the effect of monitoring and evaluation on implementation of budgets in NG-CDF in Nyamira County, Kenya; to examine the effect of internal controls on implementation of budgets in NG-CDF in Nyamira County, Kenya; to determine the effect of budget skills competency on implementation of budgets in NG-CDF in Nyamira County, Kenya; and, to find out the influence of accuracy of budget estimates on implementation of budgets in NG-CDF in Nyamira County, Kenya. The study will adopt a descriptive research design. The target population for the study will be 76 consisting of; the 4 NG-CDF Fund managers from the four constituencies in the County, the 20 NG-CDF Committee members from the 4 counties (five from each constituency) and the 50 Chair and Secretaries of the Project Management Committee of the 25 NG-CDF projects in the County that were carried out in the financial year 2019/2020. The study will use purposive sampling technique to select the sample of 76 respondents. The data will be collected using questionnaires. The instrument will be tested for reliability using the Cronbach's Alpha, while validity will be tested using the Content Validity index. The data collected will be analysed using descriptive statistics of the weighted means, mode and standard deviation and inferentially using correlation and regression analysis with the help of the computer software Statistical Package of Social Sciences Version 24. The results of analysis will be represented in graphs, pie charts and tables. These findings are expected to benefit the policy makers in the NG-CDF in making workable budget policies. Future scholars are also likely to benefit from the findings in their theory formulation
