    (Contemporary Research Center, 2016) Njoroge, Jane G.; Muathe, Stephen M. A.; Bula, H.
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of technology on performance. The study employed descriptive and explanatory design. The target population consisted of 381 respondents and the sample size was 170 respondents from the four mobile phone companies in Kenya. The research adopted stratified random sampling technique. The study used mainly primary data which was collected using self-administered questionnaires. Reliability of the instrument was tested using cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of 0.7 which was considered acceptable, hence the instrument was reliable. Data was analyzed using inferential statistics. An inferential statistics simple linear regression was used to test the hypothesis. The analysis used stata statistical package version 11.0 to aid data analysis. The results were presented using tables. Technology was found to be significant in explaining the variation of performance of mobile phone companies. The study concluded that there is need for the companies to invest more in modern technology to cope with the changes that are necessary to enhance performance. Finally, the study recommended that further research be done by replicating the same study in other companies or industries like banks.

    (Contemporary Research Center, 2015) Kinyua, Godfrey M.; Njoroge, Jane G.; Wanyoike, Rosemarie W.; Kiiru, David M.
    This paper investigates the influence of organization structure and culture on implementation of strategies in Constituency Development Fund Board in Kenya. The study adopted descriptive correlational survey design which is considered suitable for obtaining systematically factual information and determining whether or not a relationship exists between quantifiable variables and the strength of such a relationship. The target population for this study comprised the employees of the CDF Board. However, a sample was drawn from the population which comprised of the fund managers of the 132 constituencies selected through stratified random sampling together with the 6 heads of departments and 8 regional coordinators formed the sample size of 146 employees from the study population. Information for this study was collected using both primary sources of data that was collected using questionnaires. The questionnaires were mailed to the target respondents and follow-up calls were made later. The data collected was edited, coded, classified, and tabulated to make it amenable to analysis. The response rate in this study was approximately eighty four percent which was considered sufficient for making inferences and drawing conclusions. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive and correlation inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics included percentages, frequencies, means, and standard deviations while inferential statistics involved correlation analysis. The findings of the study established that organization structure and culture have positive influence on strategy implementation. Management of Constituencies Development Fund should decentralize decision making and eradicate duplication of roles as well as minimize the reporting levels.The board should also provide adequate resources for capacity building in order to reduce employees' resistance to strategy implementation
