Abstract
Strategy implementation is the sum total of the activities and choices required for the
execution of a strategic plan. Strategy implementation to a firm ensures function, work
break down structure, implementation schedule, and cost allocation and evaluation
methodology of a strategy. This study investigated the effect of technology in strategy
implementation at the Nairobi County Government, Kenya. The objective of this study
was to determine the effect of technology in strategy implementation at the Nairobi
County Government. The study adopted a case study and the unit of analysis was the
Nairobi County Government so as to ensure deep analysis in answering the research
questions. The respondents consisted of the IT officials, middle level managers and other
employees. Primary data was collected through one on one interview with the
respondents by use of interview guide. Secondary data was through reports, library
materials, journals, internet and feedback. Content analysis was used to analyze the views
of the respondents about the effect of technology in strategy implementation at the
Nairobi County Government, Kenya. The study established the respondents were in favor
of involvement of technology in the strategy implementation process. This indicated that
IT was applied in large extent in the strategy implementation, evaluation and control. The
study established that there must be well and organized structures in the organization
which was to have people who have equal skills and knowhow. This would help define
roles and responsibilities. The results revealed that the organization formulated
appropriate strategies which were befitting its objectives. The study revealed that there
were challenges in communications which were affecting strategy implementation and
hence needed to be addressed through a well-defined organization structure. The study
indicates that in order to enhance competitiveness in strategy implementation and
management process, there was need to align technology with strategy. The study
recommends that management can elicit more support for the technological ways in
implementing strategies by having clear and communicated career paths for their
employees, that the organization leaves room for improvement to ensure unity of efforts
in support of strategy implementation. A similar study may also be carried out on how
external factors affect strategy implementation. |
