EFFECT OF STRATEGIC PLAN IMPLEMENTAION ON ORGANIZATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF AFI PURE MINERAL WATER IN MOGADISHU, SOMALIA
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish the effects of strategic implementation on organizational performance: a case study of Afi pure Mineral Water Company Limited. The specific objectives were to analyze the effects of leadership, structures, resource, policies and procedures on organizational performance and to measure the combined contribution of four factors (leadership, structure, policies and procedures, and resources) on organizational performance. This study employed a cross sectional survey. A sample of 115 Employees was Selected From The Population of Afi Pure Mineral Water Company. Data were collected using structured questionnaires. The hypothesis that leadership influences organizational performance was found to have no significant effect on the organization performance of Afi Pure Mineral Water Company. Both structure and policies and procedures were found to have significant positive influence on organization performance, while policies and procedures generally had stronger effects than structure. Resource allocation was found to have insignificant but positive effect on organizational performance. The recommendations were that Afi Pure Mineral Water Company should undertake more leadership development activities among its staff; simplify its hierarchy structures to ensure easier information flows, more collaboration among the personnel, and teamwork; undertake policy modifications and revision of procedure manual geared towards devolving decision making and authority to staff at all levels so that they feel empowered to act in areas of their expertise for the benefit of the organization as a whole, and provide strict resource allocation accountability measures for its staff. Also to ensure resource allocations was thoroughly vetted and monitored. The areas for further research included a comparative study between a public enterprise and a private enterprise to find out best practices that could be incorporated in the other sector, as needed.
