Exploring strategy translation in projects

Year: 2016
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Many management studies report poor implementation of organisational strategy into practice (Yukl and Lepsinger, 2007;Li et al., 2008) and the absence within the literature of the question of how to translate strategy into effective practice provides the encouragement for this study.There are suggestions that by adopting a project management approach, organisations can better implement their overall strategies, meaning that what they do is properly and totally aligned with their goals (Pellegrinelli and Bowman, 1994).However, recent studies have concluded that project management makes little contribution to the achievement of organisational objectives, and possibly causes failure in this respect (Young and Grant, 2014).That said, Young and Grant (2014) have not provided any detailed information on the reason for such failure.At the same time, some management studies have revealed a number of challenges that confront organisations when approaching strategy implementation.
