Strategy implementation IS the process of transforming strategic
intentions into actions. It is the most vital phases in the decision making
process; embracing all the actions necessary to put the strategy into
practice. Successful implementation is as critical and difficult as the
strategic choice; it requires consideration of the resources to be used,
human resource requirements, structure, systems, and other changes.
Strategic Management and hence strategy implementation are context
sensitive; thus, the manner in which these are practiced in one sector
may not fully help in understanding their practice within other sectors.
This study therefore focused on the implementation of strategy within the
Non Governmental Organization (NGO)sector, with an emphasis on the
International NGOs. For purposes of this study, an NGO is any
organization that receives funds from development partners to implement
interventions such as health, education, micro-financing, appropriate
technology, and other social activities.
Previous scholars studying the area of strategic management tended to
focus more on aspects other than strategy implementation. Studies on
implementation have focused more on sectors other than the NGO
sector. This study was designed to fill this gap by emphasizing on
strategy implementation in the NGO sector context. The study sought to
answer the following research question: What are the factors influencing
strategy implementation within the international NGOs operating in
Kenya? The objective of' this study was to determine the factors
influencing strategy implementation by international NGOs operating in
Kenya.
