None-the-less and despite embracing strategy implementation, organizations have been recording subpar performances.

Precisely, the study investigated the effect of strategy communication, resources availability, organizational culture as well as strategy monitoring and control on the performance of bakeries in Mombasa County. The agency theory, the resource-based view theory, the Hawthorn studies on organizational behavior as well as the balance score card theory were used in supporting the study variables. The study used the descriptive research design. The study employed primary data which was gathered via questionnaires. The primary data collected was quantitative in nature.
