10-2. List in order of importance the six management issues you feel are most central to
strategy implementation. Give your rationale.
Answer: Management issues considered central to strategy implementation include matching
organizational structure with strategy, linking performance and pay to strategies, creating an
organizational climate conducive to change, managing political relationships, creating a
strategy-supportive culture, adapting production and operations processes, and managing
human resources. Establishing annual objectives, devising policies, and allocating resources
are central strategy-implementation activities common to all organizations. Depending on the
size and type of the organization, other management issues could be equally important to
successful strategy implementation.
Students’ answers will vary depending on what they deem more important.
