Abstract
Purpose: This research sought to delve into the influence of strategic public-private partnerships
on the success of selected state-owned enterprises in Kenya. The study's specific objectives
included examining the effects of supply chain, integration, financial, and marketing partnerships
on the achievement of these corporations.
Methodology: The study used a descriptive design, focusing on three Kenyan State Corporations
and targeting 1,228 managers, with data collected via structured questionnaires. Analysis through
SPSS v26.0 involved descriptive and inferential analytics to examine variable relationships.
Results: The findings reveal that all the strategic partnerships significantly impact the achievement
of State-Owned Corporations (SOCs) in Kenya. Specifically, strategic supply chain partnerships
(β = 0.227, p < 0.001), strategic integration partnerships (β = 0.229, p < 0.001), strategic financial
partnerships (β = 0.384, p < 0.001), and strategic marketing partnerships (β = 0.32, p < 0.001) each
have a positive and statistically significant effect on SOC performance.
Conclusion: Strategic partnerships are vital for SOC success, significantly enhancing performance,
competitiveness, and growth across supply chain, integration, financial, and marketing domains.
Recommendation: SOCs should strengthen strategic partnerships by focusing on joint planning,
transparent financial practices, regular evaluations, and staff training to maximize performance and
competitive advantage
