strategy, organizational culture and external environment on organizational
performance, using data from Sixty-one large private health facilities in
Kenya. A descriptive cross-sectional design grounded on positivism research

organizational strategy, culture and external environment on performance
dimensions, which include efficiency, effectiveness, relevance and financial
viability was statistically significant. Consequently, it was concluded that
organizational culture and strategy are not separated from the external
