What is relationship between strategy formulation and strategy implementation?

The Relation Between Strategy Formulation And Strategy Implemenation

In order to achieve its objectives, an organization must not only formulate but also implement its strategies effectively. The Figure represents the importance of both tasks in matrix form and suggests the probable outcomes of the four possible combinations of these variables:

- Success is the most likely outcome when strategy is appropriate and implementation good.

- Roulette involves situation wherein a poor strategy is implemented well.

- Trouble is characterized by situations wherein an appropriate strategy is poorly implemented.

- Failure involves situations wherein a poor strategy is poorly implemented.

Diagnosing why a strategy failed in the roulette, trouble, and failure cells in order to find a remedy requires the analysis of both formulation and implementation.

S.Certo and J. Peter proposed a five-stage model of the strategy implementation process:

determining how much the organization will have to change in order to implement the strategy under consideration, under consideration;

analyzing the formal and informal structures of the organization;

analyzing the "culture" of the organization;

selecting an appropriate approach to implementing the strategy;

implementing the strategy and evaluating the results.

Implementation is successfully initiated in three interrelated stages:

Identification of measurable, mutually determined annual objectives.

Development of specific functional strategies.

Development and communication of concise policies to guide decisions.

What kind of training its required to own a restaurant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Everyone will tell you that owning and running a restaurant is hectic, my main advice is to use productivity tools that give you more of that most valuable commodity...time.

Key areas include:

- Finding new customers and keeping existing business / Marketing

- Food Logistics

- Staff Management

- Table/booking management & billing

- Financial reporting, Accounts payable and Accounting.

If you are like me, being gen Y or X, then you'll be sweet with leveraging internet tools as a way to promote and run your business - I've found working with older restaurant owners that they are less likely to be adopters of technology, but this doesn't help in a competitive and financially challenging environment.

For me the most time consuming area has been food logistics and staff management, you really need a hands on approach for this. For marketing, tables/booking management and the financial area I use web and iPhone applications.

The most useful tool for me which has been a godsend is yumtable.com - a last minute restaurant booking service, essentially allows you to post tables and deals online where you have quiet time periods, eg Mon/Tuesday evenings or for last minute cancellations. But because you can tailor your own offers at any time period for any number of tables, I've also used it for specials as well, eg I got a good deal on snapper and offered 5 tables a night for a special sitting at 5pm with a movie ticket with a snapper main. It's great fun and new and old customers have used it - Offers are also automatically posted to your facebook and twitter accounts 2 hours before they expire - which leverages the social network of my cafe. I also get bookings from text messages so it's very efficient and with no equipment costs and it's free to use for the first 20 bookings to see if it works.

opentable.com has also been handy but I find that most of my customers have bookmarked my phone number to call for a booking rather than bothering online.

For accounting I'm using xero.com, it's an amazing tool that literally takes your purchases from your bank feeds and after you teach it, will remember what transaction should go to what account - this is truly a huuuuge time saver. Being online, at any point i can log in and see the status of my business and it's health - without minimal need for a bookkeeper. Costs around $50 a month but worth it for you not having to think about your accounts, whenever i log in it's all there without the need to spend early hours of the morning entering in receipts, etc.

The last tool I've found useful is billstrust.com - this nifty online business is awesome for businesses that get lots of bills from lots of sources - you can simply grab any bill including hand written ones and fax/email or take a pic with your camera phone and email it - and this service will handle data entry and queue up the bill for payment by the due date - you can view at any one time your liabilities due over coming months. I get stacks of supplier bills as well as your standard electricity/gas bills so all my bills are in one place - and i can sync it with my xero account to have a real time picture of where my business is at - again this saves on the need for a bookkeeper.

The only thing i'd like to be easier is payroll management, but I'm looking into solutions at the moment for that.

What hosts a site without you having to pay anything?

Asked by Wiki User

You need to be a system administrator to do that. You may configure everything at your house and have you web server running on port 8080. Then you will have to use a service to forward your port back to 80. If your website is not on port 80, people will not be able to access it unless if they know what port it is being hosted on. All web browsers connect to port 80 automatically unless it is specified to connect to another port. See Related Link.

Why is live in arrangement a morally dangerous venture?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It's better to have a live-in relationship rather than having a divorced life.This is common and quite rational line favoring live-in relations in the world. It should not be denied that our culture does need a legislature to regulate relationships which are likely to grow in number with changes in the ideology of people. The right time has come that efforts should be made to enact a law having clear provisions with regard to the time span required to give status to the relationship, registration and rights of parties and children born out of it. Laws should be made by the parliament, which should keep a check on the practice of evading bondages.
