An investigation into factors affecting strategy implementation at the Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund

This thesis investigates factors affecting strategy implementation at the Namibia Students Financial Assistance Fund. The study used qualitative methods to collect the data. The primary data was gathered through interviews, using a semi-structured interview guide with staff members at different levels. Field research was undertaken with a sample size of 30 people selected using stratified sampling. The researcher used Excel to do the content analysis by analysing responses from interviewees through coded responses and consolidated them into themes. The major outcome of the study concludes that the Fund faces numerous factors affecting strategy implementation. Namely: Leadership directive, Communication, Guidance from human resources management, Process/system and Technology, Organisational Culture, Organisational structure, Organisational resources, Performance management system and Control and monitoring. The same factors affecting strategy implementation have been harnessed under the challenges faced by NSF AF in strategy implementation. It is recommended that there was a need to improve the executive management that has been perceived as the most important driver for strategy implementation. Therefore, it should manage other factors listed in this study and take a stronghold on the strategy opted for effective strategy implementation. This would help to steer the Fund in the direction set out in attaining organisational goals and objectives
