Adhocracy Culture and Strategy Implementation: An Application within Professional Bodies in Kenya
(International Journal of Business and Management, 2025-02-08) Anne W. Njagi; Joseph Ngugi Kamau; Charity W. Muraguri
Strategy implementation presents the most complex aspects of an organization. This study aimed at establishing the relationship between adhocracy culture and strategy implementation in professional bodies in Kenya. To accomplish the main study objective, a descriptive research design was conducted and anchored on Cameron and Quin’s theory of Competing Values Framework (CVF) supported by McKinsey 7S Framework. A sampling frame of 168 respondents from 28 active professional bodies registered with the Association of Professional Bodies in East Africa (APSEA) was targeted. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Purposive sampling was used to select six (6) top managers in constant touch with the strategy implementation of their organizations. The study tested a null hypothesis and the results were analyzed through regression ANOVA to establish the relationship between adhocracy culture and strategy implementation. From the results, it was found that adhocracy had a significant positive effect on strategy implementation. The study concluded that adhocracy culture and strategy implementation in professional bodies in Kenya have a significant relationship. The study recommends that the leadership of an organization should work to establish a structure that accommodates adhocracy within the organization. Both operational and business level management should be structured in such a way that there is adhocracy culture within the ranks of the organization. The study further recommends a similar survey across the East African region including more professional bodies and further pursuit of adhocracy culture to test its suitability in other organizations other than professional bodies.

(International Journal for Research in Business, Management and Accounting, 2026-03-07) Stanley Kavale; Fred Mugambi; Gregory Namusonge
The main purpose of this study was to assess the effects of product differentiation strategy on corporate growth of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) in Kenya. The study employed descriptive and quantitative research designs. The target population was 57 firms and the sample size was 32 firms arrived at through stratified and purposive sampling methods. The questionnaire was the primary data tool. The study found out that product differentiation strategy has significant effects on corporate growth in MFIs in Kenya. It concludes that increased deployment of product differentiation strategy increases corporate growth in MFIs in Kenya. It recommends that managers should create, protect and maintain differentiated products and services in order to be competitive in industry thus leading to corporate growth. Further, policy makers should find and implement ways of encouraging MFIs to create and maintain product differentiation in their portfolios.Key word: corporate, differentiation, growth, product,strategyInternational Journal for Research in Business, Management and Accounting

A Study on Properties of (n, m)- Hyponormal Operators
(Asian Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, 2026-01-10) Kikete, D. Wabuya; Luketero, S. Wanyonyi; Mile, J. Kitheka; Wafula, A. W. Wanyonyi
This paper looks at the properties of (n, m)- hyponormal operators. We show that for an operator A that is (n, m)- hyponormal, and it is equivalent under an isometry to an operator B, then B is also (n, m)- hyponormal. Additionally, the concept of (n, m)-unitary quasiequivalence is introduced, and it is also shown that if an operator A is (n, m)- hyponormal, and is (n, m)-unitary quasiequivalence to an operator B, then Bis also (n, m)- hyponormal.

Determinants of Lending Behavior in Selected Commercial Banks in Kenya
(International Journal of Economics, Commerce and Management United Kingdom, 2026-03-23) James Onyango Ayieyo
The study determined the effect of volume of deposit and interest rate on total loan advanced by
selected commercial banks in Kenya. The study employed a correlation research design and
was informed by theory of Money Supply. The population of study constituted all the ten banks
listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) as at the year 2012. A census technique was
used to constitute a sample size of nine commercial banks. The study focused on a ten-year
period analysis (2002-2011) of the comprehensive financial statements of the sample size and
adopted an econometric approach to test the degree of correlation between the variables by
employing the multiple regression analysis of the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method. The
findings indicated that lending interest rates are negatively related and significantly affect the
total loans advanced. Further, volume of deposit in commercial banks has a significant and
positive effect on the total loan advanced. Therefore, commercial banks must innovate ways of
increasing their profit through fee incomes and commissions since incomes from interest rate
tend to decline with increase in the lending interest rate.

Macroeconomic Variables and Carbon Dioxide Emissions Nexus in Kenya
(African Environmental Review, 2026-04-07) James Onyango; E. Kiano; E. Saina
Ever since the times of industrial revolution, the world is racing to attain high economic development at the expense of natural resources utilization. The pursuit has led to a raise in the exploitation of non-renewable resources through various human activities leading to emissions of greenhouse gases especially carbon dioxide (CO2) that causes global warming and eventually climate change with negative economic repercussions. This study sought to establish the macroeconomic variables and carbon dioxide emissions nexus in Kenya. The study further sought to establish the validity of Environmental Kuznets Curve for Kenya.The analysis is based on auto-regressive distributed lag model of spanning data over time series 1963 to 2017. The results revealed that an increase in the use of energy and population size worsens carbon dioxide emissions while sustainable Agriculture and industrialization reduces the prevalence of carbon dioxide percentage in the atmosphere. The study confirmed an inverted U shape confirming the validity of EKC hypothesis. The model also revealed forty five percent speed of adjustment of the disturbances from the year before in CO2e to equilibrium in the current year. As a policy implication, the study highlights sustainable technologies like carbon arrest and storing, demeaning clean and renewable energy for domestic and industrial use, green initiatives in building and construction, sustainable agriculture focusing on productivity and engaging the public on environmental preservation and management inter alia as essential to reducing carbon release.Keywords:Carbon Dioxide Emission, Gross Domestic Product, Energy Use, Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model, EKC Hypothesis, Kenya
