Abstract
This study sought to investigate and rank the barriers to strategic implementation in Telecommunication Center in Tehran province. In terms of the objectives, it is an applied study and with regard to the methodology, it is descriptive as it describes the conditions of phenomena. The statistical population consisted of 140 managers, senior experts and elites of Telecommunication Center of Tehran province. Using Morgan's table, a total of 90 people were selected as the study sample. The instrument to collect the required data was a researcher-made questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by the experts in the field and the reliability within the pilot study was 0.87. In this research, four barriers were raised including: system and management barriers, barriers related to employees, barriers to strategic planning, and barriers to non-allocation of resources.Investigating the capability of fitting the strategic barriers model in Telecommunication Center of Tehran province revealed that all the barriers were within the acceptable limits. In this study, content validity was assessed using expert judgment and construct validity using the confirmatory factor analysis. The TOPSIS technique was then run to prioritize the barriers. Findings indicate that whereas the system and management barriers have the highest rank, the barriers related to employees have the lowest rank.
Highlights
For a long time since the strategic management discussion has been raised in organizations, the managers of a bulk of organizations have found solutions to their problems by investing in this category, and have come to believe that the growth and advancement of organizations' survival in turbulent conditions in the external environment of the organization to reduce costs and develop incomes is both the development of strategies and the implementation of those strategies [1].Jokes and Gluck (1988) describe the implementation of strategy as a process that includes a consistent set of choices and actions for allocating resources, organizing, assigning key managers, regulating policies, procedures, policies, and the establishment of an executive system for strengthening, controlling and evaluating a strategy
The statistical population of this study consisted of 140 managers of Telecommunications in Tehran province
All factor loads between dimensions and barriers are at a reasonable level and indicate the four dimensions of management and system barriers, barriers to non-allocation of resources, barriers related to employees, and barriers to strategic planning in the implementation of strategy in Tehran Telecommunication Center
Summary
Jokes and Gluck (1988) describe the implementation of strategy as a process that includes a consistent set of choices and actions for allocating resources, organizing, assigning key managers, regulating policies, procedures, policies, and the establishment of an executive system for strengthening, controlling and evaluating a strategy. If the barriers to why strategies are more likely to fail in the implementation phase are recognized, we will see the success of executives in achieving strategic goals. The investigation of strategy barriers is like gears that help the strategy implementation as well as strategy plan move well (Figure 1)
