Process of Strategy Implementation
• Although, there is no hard and fast rule with regard
to strategy implementation, a tentative flow of the
strategic process may be developed as follows:
– Identification of measurable, mutually determined annual
objectives.
– Developing functional strategies and tactics.
– Developing and communicating concise business policies.
– Developing programs and procedures.
– Structuring organization for strategy implementation.
– Management system and control.
– Measurement feedback and corrective mechanism.
Strategic Evaluation and Control
• Strategic management process consists of four components:
– Environmental analysis: Concerned with the identification of
opportunities and threats resulting from the changes in external
environment and strengths and threats resulting from the
resources of the organization.
– Strategy formulation: Concerned with identifying strategic options
and selecting the proper strategy or strategies.
– Strategy implementation: Concerned with the execution of the
strategy in action through developing resource allocation,
structure, and management systems.
– Strategy evaluation and control: Concerned with ensuring that the
strategies are effectively implemented and the organization is
achieving its goals and objectives.
• Although, all the four components of strategic
management process are equally important, the
last component i.e. strategy evaluation and
control is considered significance due to the fact
that the first three components are triggered to
achieve the objectives of the organization.
• Evaluation and control is the mechanism which
ensures that the activities are carried out in
planned manner and that they are leading the
organization to achieve the pre-determined goals.
• Evaluation and control is based on the information
of performance and activity reports.
