The business environment has become more uncertain due to macroeconomic headwinds, shifting political climates and evolving consumer needs triggering organizational change in response to disruption. Manufacturing firms have more recently led the stage in organizational changes due to their vulnerability to the rising cost of goods threatening their margins. However, multiple organizational change initiatives have been known to flop by either not meeting their objectives or resulting in a worse position than before the change. Various change management strategies can be employed to mitigate the negative effects of uncertainty which leads to decreased employee engagement during change. There are limited empirical studies investigating change management strategies’ influence on employee engagement within the context of multinational companies in Kenya within the consumer goods industry. This study investigated the link between change management strategies and employee engagement in multinational companies in the consumer goods industry in Kenya. The study was anchored on Kurt Lewin’s change theory and Kotter’s eight-step change model. The study used a descriptive cross-sectional research design where the unit analysis was the 25 multinational consumer goods companies in Kenya. The representative of each of the 25 multinational companies in the consumer goods manufacturing industry was the chief executive officer (CEO) and chief human resources officer because they hold the requisite information on employee matters and relations, bringing the total number of respondents to 50. The research instrument for primary data collection was structured closed-ended questionnaires. The findings were analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics and the statistical package for social science (SPSS) was the key analysis tool. The study found that the influence of change management strategies on employee engagement bears different magnitudes depending on the industry. Employee involvement strategy had the most significant positive influence on employee engagement while internal communication, training and coaching were positively associated with employee engagement but only to a moderate magnitude contrary to similar past studies in other sectors where all the key change management variables strongly influenced employee engagement. Recommendations from the study are that organizations should not single out a strategy but employ a combined approach for a stronger effect on employee engagement. It is also vital to foster an environment of trust between employees and leadership as it is a measure of engagement. The study acknowledges it was limited in that being quantitative and anonymous, was constrained in accounting for the experiences of the respondents as the researcher could not probe for further explanations of some responses. The study narrowed down on three change management strategies: internal communication, employee involvement and training and coaching and their influence on employee engagement while there could be other strategies that also strongly influence employee engagement. The study is also based on the perceptions of executive leadership which introduces bias.

The main objective of this study was to determine the influence of SCM on the performance of distributors of top FMCGs in Kenya. The study was guided by the following specific objectives: to determine the effect of inventory availability on the performance of FMCG distribution firms in Kenya, to assess the effect of order fulfillment on the performance of FMCG distribution firms in Kenya, to establish the effect of quality management on the performance of FMCG distribution firms in Kenya and to determine the effect of returns management on the performance of FMCG distribution firms in Kenya. This study employed a cross-sectional correlational research design and targeted 67 distributor firms which distribute the products of 4 major FMCG firms in Kenya. The population included the 42 Unilever Kenya distributors,9 Colgate Palmolive Kenya distributors, 7 Reckitt Benckiser Services Kenya Ltd distributors and 9 L’Oréal Kenya distributors. The data was collected using structured questionnaires. The study managed to collect data from all 63 firms representing 100% response rate. The other four companies which had been included amongst the firms involved during pre-testing the questionnaire were not considered for the purpose of actual data collection. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 25 and the output showed positive coefficients for each independent variable as well as low significant values. This study established that the supply chain management has a strongpositive effect on performance of distributor firms. This study concludes that SCM positively influences distributor firm performance. Also, the study concluded that inventory availability, order fulfilment, quality management and returns management have a significant effect on performance of the distributor firms individually. Based on the findings, the study recommends that producers, distributors and other players in the distribution chain to ensure goods reach the final consumers should work closely to ensure highly functional supply chain.

The global workplace is rapidly evolving due to technological advancements, economic expansion, and unprecedented events, leading to increased concerns about employee turnover in multinational corporations (MNCs). This study examined the impact of age, gender, and ethnic diversity on employee retention intention within manufacturing-based MNCs in Kenya, aiming to address gaps in existing research and provide insights for enhancing retention strategies. The primary objectives included examining the age diversity's effects on staff retention intention within multinational corporations in Kenya, examining the impact of ethnic diversity on employee retention intention among multinational firms in Kenya, as well as the role of gender diversity on employee retention intention in these corporations. Sample survey research design was the type of research design used. The study's population consisted of 38 manufacturing-based MNCs in Kenya. The research distributed questionnaires and the analysis used descriptive and multiple regression This study was guided by the Reasoned Action Theory and the Social Identity Theory. One hundred and seventy workers were given questionnaires for the survey, and SPSS version 22 was used to do multiple regression analysis. The overall significance of the regression model was determined, as anticipated. Findings revealed positive perceptions of age diversity, with significant correlations between age diversity and retention intention, emphasizing the importance of inclusive practices for retaining employees. Similarly, positive perceptions of gender diversity and its strong correlation with retention intention highlight the need for gender-inclusive policies and decision-making processes. Ethnic diversity also positively influences retention intention, despite challenges related to cultural conflicts and disparities in career opportunities based on ethnicity. Effective diversity management is crucial for enhancing employee retention within multinationalcorporations in Kenya. Strategiessuch as ensuring balanced age distribution, promoting gender equality, and addressing cultural conflicts can strengthen retention efforts and contribute to organizational success. The study underscores the importance of fostering inclusive environments that value age, gender, and ethnic diversity for long-term growth and sustainability. Policymakers should develop comprehensive diversity and inclusion programs addressing age and ethnicity disparities, while management should foster gender equality and communication to create inclusive cultures. Continued research on workplace diversity and employee retention is recommended to explore additional insights and strategies for enhancing organizational performance and employee satisfaction.

This project presents a detailed study titled "Architectural and Structural Design of a G+3 commercial Building: Case Study of Kisii Central district" The study focuses on a G+3 commercial building at Kisii Central station that measure 207,775m x 158,64m, comprising essential features like balconies, agency office, restaurant, shops, bus parking, kitchens, bathroom, offices. Each floor stands at a height of 4 m. The structural analysis employed fundamental civil engineering principles to meticulously design key elements, including beams, slabs, columns, foundations, and stairs. Longitudinal beams, with a depth of 500 mm, width of 200 mm, and a flange width of 907 mm, utilized Ø16 mm reinforcement bars at both top and bottom. Slabs were diversified into three types (continuous and discontinuous), each with a 25 cm thickness and reinforced with Ø12 mm bars. Columns incorporated Ø25 mm bars with Ø8 mm links at 144 mm center to center. Foundation design adhered to a bearing capacity (Pb= 350 KN/m2), resulting in foundations measuring 1500*1500*500 mm, reinforced primarily with Ø20 mm bars. Stairs facilitating interfloor access were crafted with a 265 mm going, 180 mm riser, 200 cm flight height, and a pitch of 32.530. Reinforcement comprised Ø16 mm bars at the bottom and Ø8 mm bars at the top. This dissertation offers a comprehensive exploration of the structural intricacies involved in designing a G+3 commercial building. Through meticulous analysis and design, it provides valuable insights into construction practices, particularly within the unique context of Kisii Central district.

Quantum mechanics is the fundamental theory in physics that explains the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic scales, where it deviates from the laws of classical physics. Key concepts include wave-particle duality, where particles like electrons can act as both waves and particles, and quantum superposition, where a quantum object can exist in multiple states simultaneously until measured.
