The Methodology for Strategic Plan Implementation

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to propose the methodology for the implementation of strategic plans in organizations through the prevention and, in its case, the definition and solution of the problems that frequently affect the implementation processes with many negative manifestations and harmful consequences. By elaborating the concept of implementation under the systems approach and cybernetic paradigm, two types of these problems have been identified: the organizational and the functional ones. The consequent analysis of each kind of them has permitted the development of a methodology for their prevention, identification and solution to assure an effective and efficient implementation process. This methodology consists in realizing five subsequent procedures, which were validated with positive results obtained through their virtual application to the different cases of manifestations with the negative consequences that had occurred during strategic plans implementations described in literature.

Finite Production Rate Model With Quality Assurance, Multi-customer and Discontinuous Deliveries

“…Yang and Lo [26] considered a problem of determining a suitable policy of inventory and purchasing management, with the objective of minimizing total expected inventory costs with multiple partners under controllable lead time. Many studies that addressed various aspects of supply chain issues have also been extensively carried out recently [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35].…”

Towards the Adoption of Machine Learning-Based Analytical Tools in Digital Marketing

“…The strategic planning process that uses IT tools must include at least the following four phases: 1) planning; 2) presenting a strategic idea; 3) fine-tuning the strategic idea; 4) developing a strategic plan [6]. The first phase is followed by two additional stages, namely the 1) execution phase that transforms the strategic plans into practical activities and the 2) information support phase that provides information about the current and future organization status [7]. Large quantities of information are required in these phases to create a comprehensive overview of the examined area and incorporate facts that may negatively affect the planning process.…”

Redesigning a Retail Distribution Network in Restricted Urban Areas: A Case Study on Beverage Distribution in the Historic Center of Quito

“…The study scope was defined to complete two of the four subsystem steps that constitute the whole management process [15]. Planning, which let us understand the problem itself and stating a desired future scenario; and Decision Making which included the whole set of models to select a set of optimal strategic, tactical and operational actions to accomplish that desired scenario.…”

“…Planning, which let us understand the problem itself and stating a desired future scenario; and Decision Making which included the whole set of models to select a set of optimal strategic, tactical and operational actions to accomplish that desired scenario. However there are two subsystem steps that need to be taken in order to finish the project, these are Execution and Information Support [15]. These steps could be considered in further research and case studies.…”
