Abstract

The study examined the challenges that caused STERP, ZIMASSET and Statutory Instrument 64 to fail to revive the manufacturing sector in Zimbabwe during the period 2009 to 2017. An interpretivism paradigm was adopted in order to generate a lot of data in the field and from the site where participants experienced the problem. The study used a multiple case study design involving 20 manufacturing companies operating in Zimbabwe which facilitated a holistic and in-depth investigation of the challenges that affected the effectiveness of the above policies to produce tangible results. The study unearthed that the major challenges that affected STERP, ZIMASSET and Statutory Instrument 64 are the instability of the political climate, massive mismanagement of manufacturing companies, lack of qualified personnel to lead the manufacturing companies, inconsistent government policies and lack of funding to ensure the success of the policies. Hence, a holistic approach is recommended in order for the policies implemented to be effective.
