- Description
- Strategy implementation faces many challenges within the public sector of South Africa. Previous research suggests that factors such as strategy formulation, strategy control and follow-up, leadership and suitability motivation, management and employees and corporate governance leading the change influence strategy implementation to various degrees. These factors are said to influence strategy implementation positively. The aim of the study was to investigate the relationships between the above-mentioned independent variables against a dependent variable, namely, strategy implementation. In the literature review, various topics such as leadership, strategy formulation and motivation, were discussed. Descriptive statistics were derived with regard to the prevailing levels of the various independent variables within the Coega Development Corporation. The sample of this study consisted of 50 employees at different levels within the Coega Development Corporation in the Eastern Cape. The regression analysis of this study showed that all factors were statically significant except leadership and suitability motivation, management, and employees. This factor was found to be statistically insignificant as the p value was greater than 0.05 (p= 0.169289). Furthermore, the statistical data analysis indicated that strategy implementation within the Coega Development Corporations is influenced positively by factors such as strategy formulation, strategy control and follow-up and corporate governance leading the change. The managerial implications of the empirical results were discussed in the study.
