    Effect of Port Decongestion Strategies on Containerized Cargo Throughput in Kenyan Ports. A Case Study of the Inland Container Depot Embakasi Nairobi, Kenya
    (Daystar University, School of Business and Economics, 2022-10) Busolo, Peter
    The study sought to establish the extent to which the containerized cargo throughput of the Inland Container Depot (ICD) at Embakasi is impacted by the port decongestion strategies deployed. The concept of an ICD was meant to lessen the port congestion at Mombasa hence the creation and expansion of the ICD at Embakasi, in Nairobi. The study examined the various elements of port decongestion strategies deployed and established their impact on cargo throughput. The study explored the decongestion strategies, which included increasing the yard storage capacity, applying penalties and incentives, and inter-agency collaboration initiatives, and their effect on cargo throughput, which are determined by variables such as the containerized cargo traffic movement and the port capacity. Various factors such as the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) train efficiency levels and the scenario planning process were examined as moderating variables on the cargo throughput levels. The study adopted a descriptive research design methodology. The target population consisted of 868 clearing agents that operate at the ICD Nairobi with a sample size of 260. The primary data was collected using online questionnaires while the secondary data was obtained from published reports. The findings were analyzed using descriptive statistics by use of Microsoft Excel and SPSS software. The study established that increasing yard storage capacity, application of penalties, and inter-agency collaboration initiatives were deployed as decongestion strategies and that these significantly influenced the cargo throughput. The study revealed that the containerized cargo throughput had increased evidenced by the increase in container handling activity. The study recommends the implementation of other strategies such as the addition of gates, traffic management, and container location systems.

    The Future of Work and Innovation in Organizations – A Systematic Review
    (International Journal of Recent Advances in Multidisciplinary Topics, 2023-12) Busolo, Peter; Kyongo, Joanes Kaleli
    Abstract: The study examines the effect of innovation on the future of work in organizations. The primary drivers of this variation are fast technological improvements and considerable worldwide socio-economic shifts. This period marks an essential juncture in enterprise and labor dynamics. The findings indicate that over 20.6 million job changes are expected by 2030 highlighting the need for adaptive workforce strategies and policy development despite the lack of long-term cross-sector analysis. The review is informed by Job-Demands Theory, Technology Acceptance Model and Organizational Agility Theory
