Abstract
Parastatals are institutions owned by Government that are more business
oriented as compared to mainstream ministries. The study sort to establish how
NWCPC a parastatal managed the introduction of Government reforms and the
challenges encountered in the process.
The study was conducted using a case study research design. The researcher
conducted in-depth interviews with NWCPC's top management who were
involved in the change program. Information was also obtained from Corporation
records, which was useful in the compilation of the study report.
The study identified that to a large extent NWCPC used Kotter's eight-step model
in the change management. Kotter's emphasizes that change does not happen
overnight and goes on to outline an eight-step model with suggestions on how to
manage change.
From the interviews conducted, it was evident that reforms have had a major
impact on NWCPC whereby it is now operating under a new mandate. The
organization is more effective with a clear focus for which it is accountable to the
Government and other stakeholders.
The results of this study can be used as a lesson to other parastatals and other
Government institutions that are undergoing or are likely to undergo similar
reforms. For the academicians and other researchers wishing to carry out further
research, the studies will contribute to existing literature in the field of strategic
management. - University of Nairobi |
