Most of the reviewed previous studies focused on performance of mobile service providers but failed to analyze the effect of Business Intelligence governance capabilities on performance. Similarly, previous literature has employed market share and revenue growth as the measures of performance and never focused on QoS and ARPU which this study opted to adopt. The study was anchored on Technology-Organization-Environment framework. The target population was the three mobile service providers in Kenya, namely Safaricom limited, Telkom and Airtel. Secondary panel data for the period 2010-2019 was collected. Through an explanatory non-experimental design, descriptive statistics and panel regression were carried out to find out the nature and magnitude of the relationships between the variables and test the hypothesized relationships. The study findings established that governance capability had significant influence on performance of mobile service providers in Kenya. The study recommended that policy issues and availability of training programs should be carefully considered by the management of mobile service providers.","PeriodicalId":246044,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Business & Management","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115905520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The major challenges facing effective participation were; inadequate policy formulation and institutional framework; lackadaisical attitude towards participation; low awareness about the roles and stakeholders’ participation policy. These resulted in poor school management and low quality of learners’ academic achievement. It was concluded that there was a need to develop a conceptual model explaining how stakeholder participation could be adopted to strengthen the operational capacity of key stakeholders for efficient and effective service delivery. This would impact the quality of learning outcomes in public secondary schools in Uganda. This model has been developed based on findings from a larger study, on stakeholders’ participation in school management to enhance the learner’s academic achievement in selected public secondary schools in Uganda. Based on this model, it is expected that secondary schools in similar contexts could learn a big deal on how they can explore the key drivers of school management for their benefit.","PeriodicalId":246044,"journal":{"name":"The International Journal of Business & Management","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129901518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
