Development of an Integrated Perspective on Strategy Implementation

Strategy initiatives consisted of two major components namely Strategy Planning (SP) and Strategy Implementation (SI). Good firm performance can be achieved because of both good SP and SI. Extant literature has been rich in the advocacy of the need for good SI. However, an integrated perspective on SI has been missing. In this work, the author, based upon contributions from a varied base of extant literature in strategic management (especially on resource based view, dynamic capabilities, industrial organization perspective and stakeholder theory, amongst others) arrived at an integrated perspective on SI. This was carried out through theoretical argumentations by the author based upon the extant theoretical assumptions, axioms and assertions.
