Research Design. This research aimed at providing an in depth understanding of the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ University strategic motive/s of forming strategic alliances with middle level colleges and the challenges encountered in the management of the alliances from the point of view of JKUAT. When selecting the case, the researcher used information- oriented sampling as opposed to random sampling. A case study research design was found to be the most ideal as it would allow in depth examination of the problem and also because the study is of qualitative nature. This would help the researcher to find the underlying principles as it would provide a systematic way of looking at the event /s, collecting data, analyzing information, and reporting results. It is said that case studies provides insight for problem solving, evaluation and strategy (▇▇▇▇▇▇ and Emory, 1996). This research design was used by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ (2002), Koigi (2002), Musyoki (2003) and Owour (2004) among others with good results.
