A2. The new strategic planning paradigm
Planning this kind of process is a meticulous matter that is dependent on the needs of the individual company. The figure below, inspired by Kaplan & Norton's article on The Office of Strategy Management, is an example of how such a plan can be constructed, and it may serve as inspiration for business developers and their managers to plan for the strategy management process.
As the figure illustrates, the business developer is a focal point of the annual strategic planning process, ensuring that strategic priorities are aligned in the line organisation, reflected directly in annual budgets, linked to compensation and individual targets as well as communicated and disseminated throughout the organisation. As such, the unit becomes "integrated" and hence a connecting link between strategy and implementation.
In most of the successful cases we observed, the business developers, or at least the business development managers, are of a strong, uncompromising nature and have strong relations to other managers within the organisation. Building on the behaviour of the business developers that succeed in navigating as the connecting link between strategy and organisation execution, we have constructed a set of guidelines, or "rules of engagement". These may be used as a line of direction for business developers to keep in mind when executing their tasks within their respective organisations.
B. The rules of engagement
"When performing the role of being the integrative link between strategy and execution, business developers are not only carrying out a range of tasks, they are also becoming important characters in the organisation that represent an element of interest, and in many cases also interference"
When performing the role of being the integrative link between strategy and execution, business developers are not only carrying out a range of tasks, they are also becoming important characters in the organisation that represent an element of interest, and in many cases also interference. It is thus important that the business developer, as a person, is attentive to the way he or she behaves in the organisation.

Pig industry sustains livelihoods of many families in Kenya. Pig rearing has been one of wellestablishedindustry
in Kenya following growing export markets and increasing number of health
conscious consumers. Pig production if efficiently managed has great potentials for increasing
protein supply in Kenya. Smallholder pig farms in Tharaka-Nithi County have been facing
varying and dismal profits. The main objective of this study will be to establish which
institutional arrangements and management factors affect the profit efficiency of small-holder
pig farmers in Tharaka-Nithi County. A multi-stage purposive sampling technique will be
adopted to collect cross sectional data of eighty (80) smallholder pig farmers in Maara
Constituency by the use of semi-structured interview schedules. The work will employ Data
Envelopment Analysis to come up with profit efficiency rankings among the farmers and
stochastic frontier profit function will be used to analyze the factors that affect profit efficiency.
The data will be processed using STATA and DEA Frontier packages. The findings could be
useful to the stakeholders of the pig industry sub sector to formulate policies pertaining to pig
enterprise inputs, marketing issues and financial products and also can establish benchmarks
which can be used as a package for enhancing and stabilizing profit efficiencies of smallholder
pig farmers which in turn could help improve the Kenya economy.
An Overview of Livestock Sub-sector in Kenya Perspectives, Opportunities and Innovations for Market Access for Market Access for Pastoral Producers Recent statistics point that the livestock sub-sector in Kenya accounts for approximately 10% of the National Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is 30% of the agricultural GDP. It employs about 50% of the national agricultural workforce and about 90% of the ASAL workforce. 95% of ASAL household income comes from this sub-sector. This is despite the fact that the sector receives only 1 % of the total annual budget allocation. The livestock resource base is estimated at 60 million units comprising of 29 million indigenous and exotic chicken, 10 million beef cattle, 3 million dairy and dairy crosses, 9 million goats, 7 million sheep, 0.8 mi camels, 0.52 mi donkeys and 0.3 million pigs. (Strategy for Revitalizing Agriculture (SRA) 2003) Kenya is broadly self-sufficient in most livestock products but is a net importer of red meat mostly inform of on-the-hoof animals trekked across the porous boundaries of neighbouring countries- Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Uganda and Tanzania. Livestock supply in Kenya results from a complex set of interactions between Kenya and its neighbours and the traditional Middle East market and their respective livestock populations, demand and market prices. Kenya is part of a regional market where livestock flow according to markets and price differentials in a liberalized system throughout the region as a whole and where Nairobi represents a focus of demand for the region Supply of red-meat from domestic cattle, shoats and camels falls short of demand, and is almost permanently augmented by a traditional livestock trade drawn in from neighbouring countries, especially Somalia, Tanzania, Sudan and Ethiopia in varying quantities according to demand, which maintains a supply/demand
