Research on strategy implementation has been developed for three
decades, yet only a few studies focus on factors affecting poor strategy
implementation. This research evaluates the influence of strategy
implementation problems on strategy implementation success and firm
performance. This survey was conducted in 60 Indonesian companies and
the data were statistically analysed using Structural Equation Modeling
Partial Least Square (SEM PLS). The results show significant influence
of strategy implementation problems on the degree of successful strategy
implementation and perceived firm performance. The seven major
obstacles that have impact on poor strategy implementation are: problems
related to corporate scorecard, key performance indicators, information
technology, competence, performance appraisal, strategy management
office, and financial support. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
