Abstract

Sugar manufacturing firms in Kenya have faced a myriad of challenges with regard to cost control, production inefficiencies, incompetent management and lack of information technology integration in production issues which are directly controlled by management.  The influence of corporate governance on supply chain resilience of sugar manufacturing firms in Kenya thus cannot be underrated.  The specific objective of the study was; to assess the effect of Corporate Governance on Supply chain Resilience of Sugar Manufacturing firms in Kenya. The research study methodology followed a descriptive approach with a target population of the study of 240 respondents, covering various departments within the Sugar firms. A census survey was conducted on all the 15 registered sugar manufacturing firms in Kenya. Data collected was analyzed by both descriptive and inferential statistics using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS Version 28). Descriptive statistics involved calculation of means, frequencies, percentages and standard deviation. Inferential statistics on the other hand included the use of Pearson correlation coefficient to determine the extent of relationship among the independent study variables, while multiple regression analysis was used to establish the relationship between corporate governance and supply chain resilience. Findings from data analysis in the study indicated that corporate governance was significantly responsible for the supply chain resilience of sugar manufacturing firms in Kenya. Consequently, yielding a positive relationship in the regression model. The findings from the regression model indicated that corporate governance, significantly and positively affected supply chain resilience of sugar manufacturing firms in Kenya. The study therefore recommended that the management of sugar manufacturing firms in Kenya in collaboration with the appointing authorities should embrace good practices when appointing managing directors in-charge of the sugar firms to achieve supply chain resilience through, continuous production, resource optimization, quality output and general bottom line improvement.
利用公司治理提高肯尼亚制糖企业供应链的复原力
肯尼亚的制糖企业面临着成本控制、生产效率低下、管理不善以及在由管理层直接控制的生产问题上缺乏信息技术整合等诸多挑战。 因此,公司治理对肯尼亚制糖企业供应链复原力的影响不容低估。 本研究的具体目标是:评估公司治理对肯尼亚制糖企业供应链复原力的影响。研究方法采用描述性方法,研究对象为 240 名受访者,涵盖制糖公司的各个部门。对肯尼亚所有 15 家注册制糖公司进行了普查。使用社会科学统计软件包(SPSS 28 版)对收集到的数据进行了描述性和推论性统计分析。描述性统计包括平均值、频率、百分比和标准偏差的计算。另一方面,推断统计包括使用皮尔逊相关系数来确定独立研究变量之间的关系程度,同时使用多元回归分析来确定公司治理与供应链复原力之间的关系。研究的数据分析结果表明,公司治理对肯尼亚制糖企业的供应链恢复能力有重要影响。因此,在回归模型中产生了正相关关系。回归模型的结果表明,公司治理对肯尼亚制糖企业的供应链复原力有显著的正向影响。因此,研究建议肯尼亚制糖企业管理层与任命机构合作,在任命制糖企业主管总经理时采用良好做法,通过持续生产、资源优化、优质产出和总体底线改善来实现供应链复原力。
