Abstract
The main purpose of this research project is to analyze the effect of merger on the portfolio performance of organizations in Rwanda. In Rwanda companies are facing a lot of challenges due 21st century competition in that comparing to the internal capacity and the level of investment both inside and outside the country. The insufficient investment capital causes a great barrier to their regional and global integration and the level of risk is still another issue and this lead to slow growth under performance. Even companies which have merged, some of them have split for example ELECTROGAZ was split into Rwanda Electricity Corporation (RECO) and Rwanda Water and Sanitation Corporation in the year 2008. These two companies was again re-marged and given the name Energy, Water and Sanitation Authoriy(EWSA) in 2010, in 2014 the EWSA was again spit into two (Energy, Water and Sanitation Authority,2014). The researcher used descriptive method of study based on qualitative and quantitative approach in order to get analysis of the study. Researcher used both primary and secondary data collection tools with their relevant tools like questionnaire and documentary analysis in order to come up with required data. In the finding it was established that merging CSR and RAMA has a great impact on RSSB performance because it has increased profitability, customer’s satisfaction, management quality, organizational assets, and organizational equity. Final analysis provides the relationship between effect of merging and portfolio performance of RSSB whereby the respondents N is 52 and the significant level is 0.01, the results indicate that independent variable has positive high correlation to dependent variable equal to .660** and the p-value is .000 which is less than 0.01 and when p-value is less than significant level, therefore researchers conclude that variables are correlated. As conclusion, merging contributes positively on portfolio performance of government institutions of Rwanda as witnessed by RSSB.
