Abstract
This study aimed at examining strategy implementation at NamPort for the year 2014 to
2019. This study adopted a mixed -methods approach. The study limits itself to NamPort
employees covering a population of 120 participants. A pilot study was done to make
strides on validity and reliability. Literature from different analysts was consulted to guide
strategy implementation and get managers’ valuable suggestions on their industry. The
closed ended questions response of the management staff were analysed with the aid of
ATLAS.ti. Qualitative data analysis were presented in tables. Stratified random sampling
was utilized to choose the sample sizes for the study. This study was limited to NamPort’s
employees and the Board of Directors. The data collection procedure for this study
required participants whom in one way or the other formed part of the strategy formulation
and/or implementation that NamPort embraced for the period 2014-19. The challenges to
the strategic implementation process were noted to be ageing of equipment, staff members'
discontent and poor corporate culture. Findings from the study revealed that the strategy
implementation at NamPort for the year 2014 to 2019 was influenced by the organisational
culture and the legal requirements. The research recommends that NamPort creates a
communication plan to address challenges experienced during the strategy
implementation process
