Companies have had to deal with such changes as dramatic technological shifts (for example, the explosion in electronic capabilities) and deregulation in such industries as banking, telecommunications, Transport and energy. The telecommunications sector in Kenya has faced massive environmental changes in the last decade. Liberalization, technological change and competition are the notable changes. The purpose of this study was to deepen the knowledge on how Telkom Kenya has dealt with changes over the years. The study had two objectives. To determine how Telkom Kenya Ltd has managed the changes that it has implemented and to establish the challenges that Telkom Kenya has encountered in managing the changes that it has implemented. This research problem was solved through the use of a descriptive case study design. The study used primary data which was collected through interviews with four senior employees at Telkom Kenya. The interviews were carried out in the month of July 2012 in the work places of the subjects. The data collected through the interviews was analyzed through content analysis. The notes were expanded and interpretation was in narratives. A discussion of the notes was also done to compare the findings with earlier studies on the subject. Results indicate that changes which have taken place at Telkom Kenya Ltd. include downsizing, acquisition, structural changes and strategic changes. These have been managed through use of consultants, change planning, communication and buy in. The company has changed its organization structure, its strategic focus, its employee size and composition and also its management orientation. The changes have been brought about by competition, market liberalization, technological advancements and more demanding customers. Challenges in implementing changes at Telkom Kenya include the company lacking a clear cut plan in managing the retrenchment, having limited resources to finance the downsizing, resistance to change by employees and the dynamism of the telecoms industry. Others include cutthroat competition, politics and technological advancement. The study findings have the following implications on Telkom Kenya. First, there should be a clear and desirable vision of what the company will be like once the change is complete. Secondly, detailed tactical plans should be decided upon and made available in accessible language to all who participate in the change process. Thirdly, training should be provided for those individuals who do not have the skills for the management of change. Lastly, people affected by change should be involved in planning, changes noted in writing and circulated appropriately. v TABLE OF CONTENTS

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Springer - Publisher Connector 2 The Internet Journey for Kenya: The Interplay of Disruptive Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Fueling Rapid Growth Muriuki Mureithi Introduction Kenya’s information and communication technology (ICT) sector has witnessed a dramatic turnaround. Barely 20 years ago, in the mid-1990s, the sector was an irritant to the political system and was best discussed by geeks in hushed tones. Th e political system saw emerging ICTs as an aff ront to challenge its leaders’ power and control over information fl ow. Such was the environment that the fi rst eff orts to introduce the Internet in Kenya, in 1995, were met with an offi cial rebuff through a full- page advertisement by the then Kenya Posts and Telecommunications Corporation (KP&TC), a monopoly state enterprise, declaring that Internet services amounted to resale, and were therefore illegal. It was in this harsh environment that the Internet was born in Kenya. In short order, it was banned entirely in the government civil service until 1999. In such an environment, the Internet was only for brave nongov- ernment organizations (NGOs), geeks, and small companies with M.

Indeed, none of the universities had Internet connections. Concerted advocacy changed the tide, and by 1997, the government promulgated the Telecommunication and Postal Sector Policy recognizing ICT’s contributions to development, and by 1999, passed the Kenya Information and Communication Act, a new telecom law establishing a multi-operator environment—followed shortly there- after by offi cial recognition of the Internet.

  • A Comparison of the Mobile Financial Services Sector in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda
    A Comparison of the Mobile Financial Services Sector in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda The 3rd Annual Competition and Economic Regulation (ACER) Conference Dar es Salaam, Tanzania 14 – 15 July 2017 DRAFT NOT FOR CITATION Anthea Paelo [email protected] Centre for Competition, Regulation and Economic Development (CCRED) Mobile money has been a fast growing phenomenon in developing countries around the world but particularly in East Africa. The East African countries of Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania have shown remarkable growth and are three of the 16 countries globally where mobile money accounts outnumber bank accounts. The sector has now evolved to provide mobile financial services such as savings, loans and even insurance, providing greater opportunities for increased financial inclusion. Studies have shown that in countries where there has been successful penetration of mobile money services, there has been an increase in financial inclusion. However, the level of evolution and uptake has varied by country. Kenya has taken the lead in terms of uptake and more competitive pricing while Uganda lags behind in terms of available financial services. Tanzania for its part is the first of the East African countries to implement interoperability between mobile money operators. Using a case study approach, this study provides comparisons of the mobile money markets in each of the three countries, including a profile of the sector and a discussion on how this might have affected prices, variety of available services and levels of adoption. It will examine how the existing structures of the markets and regulation may have influenced the pricing, uptake and availability uptake of mobile financial services.

  • Digital Market Overview: Kenya
    Digital Market Overview: Kenya A Frost & Sullivan White Paper www.frost.com 50 Years of Growth, Innovation and Leadership Digital Market Overview: Kenya Overview & Methodology To understand and help inform UK companies about emerging digital market opportunities in a number of key countries under the UK’s Prosperity Fund, the FCO (Foreign and Commonwealth Office) commissioned Frost & Sullivan to provide summary digital market research and analysis across three growing digital markets; telecommunications, digital services and cybersecurity. The UK Prosperity Fund is an innovative instrument directing £1.2 billion of UK ODA and non- ODA investment to tackle barriers to economic growth, targeting middle-income developing countries. The Fund aims to remove barriers to economic growth in order to reduce poverty – the Fund’s primary purpose. It supports delivery of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), particularly SDG 8, to “Promote inclusive and sustainable growth, employment and decent work for all.” Removing barriers and helping harness the potential of developing markets, will also boost global and UK prosperity through increased investment and trade. It is in achieving this latter objective that Non-Official Development Assistance funding is used alongside Prosperity Fund ODA programmes, and in support of the government’s post- EU trade policy ambition and wider government policies. .Frost & Sullivan Methodology To complete the project, Frost & Sullivan engaged analysts from its ICT group based in offices in Indonesia, Brazil and South Africa. Four main activities were completed during the process. These were: • Internal Data Audit: Frost & Sullivan leveraged information from its ongoing research programme of the ICT sector and digital markets in the target countries.

(333 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Norma Pecora While Africa is confronted with the urgency to provide its citizens with the basic requirements of life, the rest of the world is heading towards a ‘globally-networked’ information economy. Many communication scholars believe that without access to information resources and telecommunication services, an understanding of its significance, and the ability to use it for social and economic growth, Africa is facing an unavoidable predicament. This dissertation presents a case study of the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) Huruma Community Telecentre as an arena where governmental, non-governmental and other private organizations are collaborating to test the contribution that a Community Telecentre can make towards providing universal access to telephony and other telecommunications and information services to a disadvantaged community.
