    (Mzumbe University, 2019) Mohamed, Habibu Mohamed
    The study investigated factors influencing implementation of strategic plan in Public Universities in Tanzania particularly UDOM. The study was guided by five specific objectives: to find out influence of organisational resources in implementing strategic plan at UDOM, to assess the extent to which stakeholders influence implementation of strategic plan at UDOM, to establish the extent to which communication influences implementation of strategic plan at UDOM, to examine how the existing structure affects the implementation of strategic plan at UDOM and to examine how leadership qualities and styles of UDOM affect implementation of strategic plan. The theories that were adopted include resource-based view theory and stakeholder theory. The case study research design was used employing both qualitative and quantitative approach. Random sampling and purposive sampling techniques were used to select a sample of seventy eight (78) respondents for the study. Respondents were chosen from College Principals, School Deans, HoDs, Directors, Academic and Administrative staff in their respective departments. Primary data were collected through questionnaires and interview whereas documentary review was used for secondary data. The data collected were analysed using SPSS, content analysis and explanation building. Descriptive statistics were used to describe both dependent and independent variables while multiple regressions tested if predictors had any influence on the implementation of strategic plan at UDOM. The result indicated that organisational resources (0.0010.05) and leadership qualities and styles (0.163>P>0.05) had no any significant correlation with implementation of SP. The findings suggested that university management should take further attention on stakeholders and leadership qualities and styles if it has to gain from those factors. Therefore, on the basis of the findings of the study, it was concluded that implementation of SP is influenced by predictors. Furthermore, the study recommended that the university management should find out solutions on the challenges imposed by stakeholders and ensure that UDOM leaders possess the required leadership qualities for smoothly implementation of SP.

It was found that there was a big relationship between implementation processes with the factor; factors were inevitable in organisation’s strategies.

Good culture can be used as a tool in strategic plan implementation. The study recommended that management should extend culture of consistency, increase provision of incentives to workers based on their contribution, staff involvement in the development of strategic plan. Council should handle V implementation withholding with organisational culture, provision of resources on time and consider the technology upgrade. Leaders must redirect their efforts towards the targeted goals. Incentives to workers contribute towards implementation process as it encourages and motivates them and gives employees spirit of ownership that helps council to reach its objectives
