Resources are allocated to these organizations and it is important to get value for these inputs. Organizations may have good plans for monitoring practice and for effectiveness of information and projects. The practice aims at comparing the way things are actually done against the original plan. State corporations may have good monitoring intents but the extent to which the practice is successfully implemented influences service delivery. The study sought to establish the effect of monitoring on service delivery of state corporations, specifically, National Cereals and Produce Board, Kitale. Studies have been conducted on factors influencing performance of monitoring and evaluation systems of non-governmental organizations, however, little information was available on monitoring practice and service delivery of such state corporations.

The practice includes financial and non- financial procedures which measure, analyse and evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the system. This encourages better decision making and effective use of scarce resources, for good corporate governance to achieve their objectives. Auditing faces challenges which influence service delivery. Studies were conducted on internal auditing and financial performance of public institutions. Therefore, the study found it necessary to address auditing practice and service delivery among county owned water organizations in Western Kenya. To achieve the purpose, it was hypothesized that auditing practice had no influence on service delivery in county owned water organizations in Western Kenya. The study was guided by Resource Dependency Theory. The study employed descriptive and correlation...

The main objective was to establish the effect of effect of vertical diversification on organizational competitiveness of sugar firms in Kenya. The study adopted descriptive correlational survey design and this being a census study; all the sugar firms in the Kenya were studied. Using a questionnaire, primary data was collected from the production and marketing managers as key informants of each of the sugar firms. The production and marketing managers of every sugar firm were selected to take part in the study as they are perceived to be knowledgeable on the issues under study and for which they are either responsible for their execution or they personally execute them. The questionnaire was pre-tested on a pilot respondent who are not part of the study respondents but knowledgeable in the study aspects in order to ensure their validity and relevance. Secondary data was extracted from annual reports, publications and documentary analysis was also used to gather background information by reviewing literatures relevant to the study. Reviews of the measures used to measure the study variables were also used to construct the questionnaire to ensure face and construct validity. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used to measure the reliability of the scale, which was used to assess the interval consistency among the research instrument items. In order to test the hypothesis, the aggregate mean score of firm Competitiveness measures were regressed against the mean score of measures of Vertical Diversification. the regression results reveal that vertical diversification had overall significant positive relationship with the competitiveness of sugar firms (β = 0.464, p-value = 0.004). The study therefore rejected the null hypothesis since β ≠ 0 and p-value ≤ α and concludes that Vertical diversification significantly affected competitiveness of sugar firms in Kenya. The regression results also shows that 46.4 percent of the sugar firm competitiveness can be explained by vertical diversification (R square = 0.464).

The purpose of this paper was to establish the influence of Organizational Capabilities on the Performance of Sugar Companies in Kenya. The study adopted casual comparative research design while purposive sampling technique was used to select the respondents, who were mainly the departmental heads from all the sugar companies in Western Kenya. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect primary data. On the other hand, secondary sources of data collection used in this study were published papers, journals, articles, reports and information from the internet. Quantitative data was coded and analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 20). Both descriptive and inferential statistical tools that included the use of mean, standard deviation, Karl Pearson Correlation and Regression models were used in the study. On reliability of research instruments, a Cronbach's Alpha of coefficient of 0.830 was attained out of the possible 39 items, implying that the research instruments were reliable since the value was way above the recommended 0.7 in social sciences. From the study findings, there exists a statistically significant correlation between organizational capability and performance of sugar manufacturing firms (r= 0.653, p≤0.01).The findings of the study forms a basis of reference by interested parties in strategic management in future.
