The Role of Managers in Effective Strategy Implementation
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Management - Year 2014, Vol 13, Issue 3
Abstract
Background. The subject of strategy execution is now one of current areas of research, and the role of managers responsible for a proper organization of the implementation process is mentioned among many barriers. Therefore, it seems reasonable to carry out analyses of both tasks and competencies that are essential for the implementation effectiveness.Research aims. The aim of this paper is to examine whether there is a relationship between individual tasks (which determines the success in the strategy implementation) and the level of effective implementation of this process, as well as to analyse the correlations between the competencies of managers and the effectiveness of the strategy implementation.Method. The survey was conducted using the paper and pencil interview approach, and then Kendall's tau-b correlations were calculated. The respondents in the survey included managers from 200 companies listed in prestigious rankings, i.e. from companies achiev-ing development success.Findings. The surveys proved that in relation to the strategy implementation, adequate actions taken by managers were much more important than their competencies. Therefore, the strategic awareness that manifests itself by the assignment of tasks and decision making power is more important than the knowledge and additional skills.
