A review of the literature reveals that strategy implementation is an important component of the strategic management process. Research indicates that the ability to implement a strategy is viewed as considerably more important than strategy formulation, and that strategy implementation, rather than strategy formulation, is the key to superior organisational performance.

Shareholder activists and regulators are pressuring U.S. firms to separate the titles of CEO and Chairman of the Board. They argue that separating the titles will reduce agency costs in corporations and improve performance. The existing empirical evidence appears to support this view. We argue that this separation has potential costs, as well as potential benefits. In contrast to most of the pr…
Youth participation is an obviously good idea, and yet it is not necessarily easy to put into practice. By its very nature, it challenges our usual way of doing business with young people. As prevention expert William Lofquist notes, youth participation means that adults are working with young people, rather than developing and delivering services for them or to them. 1 As young people move bey…

We believe the turmoil we are currently observing has some…

The focus of this workshop is on individual development; consequently, many of the activities are individual activities.
In previous sections, you’ve studied several different leadership theories. Trait theory, for example, holds that leaders are born with specific traits that make them good leaders. Behavior theory suggests that leaders characteristically behave in certain ways, so you can learn to be an effective leader by learning to behave a specific way. Transformational leadership theory holds that effect…
