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
