Abstract: The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of strategic planning on the performance in Secondary Schools in Trans-Nzoia West Sub-County. The objective of this study was to assess the influence that resources have on performance of secondary schools. The target population was 370 numbers of stakeholders in public secondary school in Trans-Nzoia West sub-county. Purposive and random sampling technique was used to sample the schools and the sample size was 30% of the target population. Data collection instruments were questionnaires, interviews and observation. Data was processed by use of percentages. The key recommendations were as follows: - i) The Ministry of Education should ensure that all schools have strategic plans in place to guide in the allocation of school’s resources for efficiency and effectiveness. ii) The government through Ministry of Education together with the County Government should increase funding of infrastructure in the schools in order to ensure that all schools have the necessary basic physical facilities to be able to compete favourably with others that are endowed with adequate facilities. iii) The government through the Ministry of Education should regularly visit schools to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the objectives in the strategic plan and take remedial measures to address failures in areas that need help.

A novel approach for satellite imagery storage by classifyiaemedu
This document presents a novel approach for classifying and storing satellite imagery by detecting and storing only non-duplicate regions. It uses kernel principal component analysis to reduce the dimensionality and extract features of satellite images. Fuzzy N-means clustering is then used to segment the images into blocks. A duplication detection algorithm compares blocks to identify duplicate and non-duplicate regions. Only the non-duplicate regions are stored in the database, improving storage efficiency and updating speed compared to completely replacing existing images. Support vector machines are used to categorize the non-duplicate blocks into the appropriate classes in the existing images.

A novel approach for satellite imagery storage by classifyiaemedu
This document presents a novel approach for classifying and storing satellite imagery by detecting and storing only non-duplicate regions. It uses kernel principal component analysis to reduce the dimensionality and extract features of satellite images. Fuzzy N-means clustering is then used to segment the images into blocks. A duplication detection algorithm compares blocks to identify duplicate and non-duplicate regions. Only the non-duplicate regions are stored in the database, improving storage efficiency and updating speed compared to completely replacing existing images. Support vector machines are used to categorize the non-duplicate blocks into the appropriate classes in the existing images.

Strategic planning
It is an essential part of running a successful organization. It can help organizations reach their goals, gain competitive advantages, and maximize resources. It is a process of setting goals, identifying objectives, developing strategies, and creating a plan of action to achieve these goals (George et al., 2019). Doing so helps organizations align their activities and resources to create the best possible results. By planning, organizations can set objectives, develop strategies aligned with their mission and goals, and utilize resources most efficiently to achieve those goals (Brozovic, 2018). Additionally, it allows organizations to stay ahead of the competition by developing a comprehensive and well-thought-out plan for the future (George et al., 2019). Strategic planning also helps organizations better understand their external environment, such as their competitors, which helps them anticipate change and develop strategies to adjust accordingly.
Possible gaps
As the former principal of George H. Oliver Elementary School, I have had the opportunity to observe the strengths and weaknesses of our organization. Over the past few years, there have been many changes and challenges to the school, yet I feel there are still gaps that need to be addressed. One of the most pressing gaps is in technology, and infrastructure-the school has made great strides in the past few years in terms of technology, yet there are still areas such as inadequate Internet access, equipment, and software (Rachmadtullah et al., 2020). The institution must invest in the necessary infrastructure to ensure students have the tools they need to succeed. Another gap I feel is present in the school is the area of student engagement. There are a lot of great teachers and staff that are doing a fantastic job of engaging students. Still, there is a need to go beyond the traditional classroom setting and involve outside activities and classes to engage students (Leighninger and Niedergang, n.d). The administrators must find ways to reach out to the community and involve them in school activities.
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT)
The SWOT Analysis is an essential strategic planning tool used by businesses, educational institutions, and organizations to assess their internal and external environment and plan their strategies for the future. It is essentially a comprehensive evaluation of an organization's current situation and is used to identify areas for improvement and capitalize on strengths (Teoli et al., 2019). This analysis helps organizations to assess their current position and to develop strategies to improve their future performance. For elementary schools, a SWOT analysis can help school administrators, teachers, and staff gain insights into the current educational environment (Phadermrod et al., 2019). It can determine the school's strengths and weakness.

Tech transfer making it as a risk free approach in pharmaceutical and biotech iniaemedu
Tech transfer is a common methodology for transferring new products or an existing
commercial product to R&D or to another manufacturing site. Transferring product knowledge to the
manufacturing floor is crucial and it is an ongoing approach in the pharmaceutical and biotech
industry. Without adopting this process, no company can manufacture its niche products, let alone
market them. Technology transfer is a complicated, process because it is highly cross functional. Due
to its cross functional dependence, these projects face numerous risks and failure. If anidea cannot be
successfully brought out in the form of a product, there is no customer benefit, or satisfaction.
Moreover, high emphasis is in sustaining manufacturing with highest quality each and every time. It
is vital that tech transfer projects need to be executed flawlessly. To accomplish this goal, risk
management is crucial and project team needs to use the risk management approach seamlessly.

Effective broadcasting in mobile ad hoc networks using gridiaemedu
This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a new grid-based broadcasting mechanism for mobile ad hoc networks. The paper argues that flooding approaches to broadcasting are inefficient and cause network congestion. The proposed approach divides the network into a hierarchical grid structure. When a node needs to broadcast a message, it sends the message to the first node in the appropriate grid, which is then responsible for updating and forwarding the message within that grid. Simulation results showed the grid-based approach outperformed other broadcasting protocols and was more reliable, efficient and scalable.

INTRODUCTION
Globalization of higher institutions of learning has become a universal phenomenon
as comprehensive economic integration continues to make its way vigorously into higher
education (Peng, 2009). This issue has risen to the top of the agenda of most world-class
institutions across the globe. Like the corporate world, in order to be and/or remain globally
competitive and relevant, top-notch institutions need to promote and create broad
internationalization into their core operations.
Strategy is a tool for an institution to find its competitive advantage and place within the
environment. In the recent past, institutions of higher education had confronted numerous
changes in their external and internal environment, and respond to emerging challenges, such
as inadequate funding, rapid technological advances, outdated academic programs, increasing
demand for higher education, and a need to compete with the emerging models of higher
education while keeping the essence of a traditional comprehensive system of institution.
Strategic planning (AACSB International, 2007; Ashwin, 2006; Ansoff et al, 1976) is one of
the major steps the institutions can take to address these challenges which benefits
institutions in a variety of ways:
Creates a framework for determining the direction an institution takes to achieve its
desired future,
Provides a framework for achieving competitive advantage,
Allows all institutional constituencies to participate and work together towards
accomplishing goals,
Raises the dream of all key stakeholders, and allows the exchange of ideas between them
improving understanding of the institutions’ vision, and fostering a sense of ownership of
the strategic plan, and belonging to the institution,
Aspires to line up the institution with its environment,
Permits the institution to set priorities.
The aim of the Strategic planning (Chandler, 1962) process is to improve performance of the
institution; to improve coherence between the outputs of individual higher education
institutions and national goals; to develop greater coherence among higher education
institutions in their academic and non-academic activities and to enhance complementarily,
quality and efficiency.
Identification of the institution’s vision and mission is the first step of any strategic planning
process. The institution’s vision sets out the reasons for institution’s existence that the
institution aims to achieve; the mission identifies major goals and performance objectives.
Both are defined within the framework of the institution’s philosophy, and are used as a
context for development and evaluation of intended and emergent strategies. One cannot
overemphasize the importance of a clear vision and mission; none of the subsequent steps
will matter if the institution is not certain where it is headed. Although every strategic
planning process must be uniquely designed to fit the specific needs of a particular
institution. The institutions should begin by identifying its vision and mission. Once these are
clearly defined, they should further move on to a series of analyses, including external,
internal, gap, and benchmarking, which provided a context for developing institution’s

strategic issues. Strategic programming follows and the institution develops specific
strategies including strategic goals, action plans, and procedures (Novicevic et al., 2007;
Santovec, 2006). Periodically, the institution evaluates its strategies and reviews its strategic
plan, considering emergent strategies and evolving changes. It usually takes several years
before strategic planning becomes institutionalized and institutions learn to think
strategically.
Pursuing a strategic plan must be a chore in the institutions and it should be done with great
patience and discipline. To succeed in strategic planning the institutions will need to stay
right to fundamentals of building a culture of excellence (Moore, 2002). The strategic
planning process should start with professional data and needs analysis to support creation of
the strategic plan document (Meyer et al 1983; Scott, 1995; Taylor, 1911; Val Candy et al,
2011. Implementation of the plan should involve the right people with the requisite
inspiration. Evaluation should inform relevant updates of the plans to ensure that it fits the
institution at any point in time. Success starts on leadership of the institution maintaining
interest in the activity in its entirety and finding creative ways to keep the fire burning and to
strengthen the strategic planning process. The institutions should also initiate partnership with
other institutions to develop the relationship to learn each other to propel toward goals of
excellence and world-class status.
CREATION OF SWOT PROFILE
The application of the SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) as
a tool requires an internal survey of strengths and weaknesses of the institution and an
external survey of threats and opportunities. It is a general tool designed to be used in the
preliminary stages of decision-making and as a originator to strategic planning in various
kinds of applications. When correctly applied, it is possible for an institution to get an overall
picture of its present situation in relation to the societal needs. An understanding of the
external factors, comprised of threats and opportunities, coupled with an internal examination
of strengths and weaknesses assists in forming a vision of the future. Also, when executing
this analysis it is important to understand how these elements work together. When an
organization matched internal strengths to external opportunities, it creates core competencies
in meeting the needs of its stakeholders. In addition, an institution should act to convert
internal weaknesses into strengths and external threats into opportunities.

1. prospective employers of graduates
2. parents and families of students

The Internal Analysis of strengths and weaknesses focuses on internal factors that give an
organization certain advantages and disadvantages in meeting the needs of its targets.
Strengths refer to core competencies that give the institution an advantage in meeting the
needs of its targets. Weaknesses should also be carefully examined from a stakeholder
perspective because stakeholders often perceive weaknesses that an institution cannot see.
When the analysis has been completed a SWOT profile can be generated and used as the
basis of goal setting, strategy formulation and execution.

When formulating strategy, the interaction of quadrant (S1 – T1 etc. ) in the SWOT matrix
become important. For example, the strength (S) can be leveraged to pursue opportunities (O)
and to avoid threats (T), and managers can be alerted to weakness (W) that might need to be
overcome in order to successfully pursue opportunities (O).
FORMULATION OF STRATEGIC PLAN
Most often, national goals are political decisions. These goals are used by the institutions to
identify the path and process to be taken in achieving the institutional goals. This is the
delicate exercise every institution faces because every institution tends to identify her own
institutional goals, which may not be easily transferable to another institution.
Proposed Strategic planning pyramid:
(1) Top-down approach for institution as whole
(2) Bottom-up approach for institution units and divisions.

that the most appropriate governance system for higher education is one that supports
institutional autonomy within a clear accountability framework. The strategic planning
process must respect and support the complementary and diverse missions of the different
sister institutions to strengthen the shared sense of autonomy between the institutions and
their stakeholders.

In order to have in place an effective system of strategic plan a number of important
underpinning elements must be taken into consideration:
Clear policy directions from the Government as to the goals that are required of the Higher
Education sector.
Scope for Institutions to develop and propose their own targets and indicators subject to
cross-examination as part of the process.
Effective systems for strategic planning and performance monitoring within institutions.
Effective systems for capturing and using data nationally to measure performance.

EXECUTION OF STRATEGIC PLAN
Although execution is a key to success, it is not an easy task. Here is an institution
with an embedded culture and structure, a set way of doing things. For the institution to adapt
to its new competitive environment, major changes would be necessary, and those changes
would be no simple child's play. Execution is critical to success. Execution represents a
disciplined process or a logical set of connected activities that enables an institution to take a
strategy and make it work. Without a careful, planned approach to execution, strategic goals
cannot be attained. Developing such a logical approach, however, represents a formidable
challenge to management. Despite its importance, execution is often handled poorly by many
institutions. There still are countless cases of good plans going askew because of substandard
execution efforts. There are dreadful roadblocks or hurdles that get in the way of the
execution process and seriously damage the implementation of strategy. The road to
successful execution is full of potholes that must be filled up by appropriate stuff for
execution success.
Discipline of execution
Institutional goals
Planning
Motivating Controlling
Organising
1. Planning: This involves decision on tasks that must be performed to attain institutional
goals and outlining how the task must be performed.
2. Organising: This creates a mechanism to put plans into action. People within the
institution are given work assignments that contribute to goal attainment. Tasks are
organised so that the output of individuals will contribute to the success of institution
units, which will then contribute to the success of divisions, which in turn will finally
contribute to the institution as whole.
3. Motivating: The ultimate aim of motivating is to increase productivity. Human- oriented
work situations usually generate higher levels of production over the long term than work
situations that people find distasteful. Therefore, motivation is primarily the process of
guiding the activities of institution members in appropriate directions to help institution
move toward goal attainment.
4. Controlling: This is an ongoing process and the executive continually gathers
information, make their comparisions, and then try to find new ways to improving

Executives
(i) Gather information that measures current performance within the institution,
(ii) Compare present performance to established performance standards,
(iii) From this comparision, determine if any change is required to meet pre-established
standards.
CONCLUSION
Even though, in reality, there may be a separation of planning and execution tasks, the
two are highly interdependent. Planning affects execution. The execution of strategy, in turn,
affects changes to strategy and planning over time. This relationship between planning and
achievement suggests two critical points to keep in mind. Successful strategic outcomes are
best achieved when those responsible for execution are also part of the planning or
formulation process. The greater the interaction between "executives" and "planners" or the
greater the overlap of the two processes or tasks, the higher the probability of execution
success. Execution demands a great deal of attention to make it work. The execution of
strategy usually takes longer than the formulation of strategy. The longer time frame can
make it harder for executive to focus on and control the execution process, as many things,
some unforeseen, can materialize and challenge executive's attention. A strategy should also
be articulated and a plan of execution developed to educate key personnel and to set goals
consistent with the new thrust. Change is impossible without commitment to the decisions
and actions that define strategy execution. The execution of strategy is not a trivial part of
executive work; it defines the essence of that work. If the executives muster all the four
discipline of execution and also infuse this discipline in the institution people, the execution
gap might be closed within a stipulated time frame.
