Influence Of Strategic Management Practices On Organization Performance Of Non-Profit Organizations: A Case Study Of Habitat Action And Peace (Hap), Baidoa, Somalia.

Abstract

Strategic management is the core element of a prosperous endeavour for any organisation. In order to achieve success, managers must strategically analyse the organization's activities and prioritise their planning accordingly. This study aims to investigate the impact of strategic management methods on the performance of non-profit organisations, using HABITAT ACTION AND PEACE (HAP) Somalia as a case study. This study aims to investigate the impact of strategy formulation, strategy implementation, and strategy evaluation on the organisational performance of non-profit organisations, using HABITAT ACTION AND PEACE (HAP) Somalia as a case study. The study was based on the Planning School theory, the strategic fit theory, and the Public Value Theory. The study employed a descriptive research design, utilizing both quantitative and qualitative data. Questionnaires and secondary data reviews were employed to gather information. A census methodology was employed to gather data from the entire workforce of 60 employees at HABITAT ACTION AND PEACE (HAP) Somalia. The data analysis was conducted using SPSS 2.4, focusing on both descriptive and inferential statistics. The results were displayed using tables, graphs, and pie charts. Key findings indicate that effective strategy formulation, notably through stakeholder engagement and data-driven decision-making, enhances performance but faces challenges related to resource allocation. Strategy implementation benefits from strong leadership commitment, employee involvement, and clear communication,

4 although insufficient resources and training remain barriers. Strategy evaluation, with regular assessments, supports adaptability and effectiveness, though improvements are needed in data collection and communication to maximize outcomes. In conclusion, systematic strategic management practices bolster performance outcomes. The study recommends increasing stakeholder engagement, optimizing resource allocation, and adopting structured evaluation frameworks to enhance sustainability and accountability in strategic planning.
