Abstract: Technical institutions play a vital role in enhancing economic growth in a country. Despite this contribution, they experience insufficient funding, poor infrastructure and low student enrolment. This is attributed to lack of awareness on the important role they play in economic activities. Previous studies on the effect of strategic management on firm performance have mostly focused on profit making organizations without realizing the importance nonprofit making organizations play in an economy. Therefore little is known on how strategic management practices affect performance of technical institutions in Kenya. This study therefore investigated the effects of organizational planning practices on performance of technical training institutions in Western Kenya. The study targeted 8 technical institutions in Western Kenya out of which 172 employees were taken by use of census method. The study adopted correlational research design and used questionnaires as the instruments for data collection. The study was a census study since key informants were chosen from each technical institution to provide information required for the study.
Keywords: organizational planning, performance, technical institutions.
