Extract

The first part of this paper, published in the May JOURNAL, discussed in general terms certain topics relevant to business objectives and industry orientation and dealt in some detail with definition of company objectives and strategic plans. The successful completion of this first phase is dependent on close co-operation between Government and Industry for both civil and military projects.

This part of the paper deals with the procedures for implementing the strategic plan (management control) and the application and control at operational levels (operational control). The phase of implementation is one where considerable scope exists for ensuring future effectiveness through sound direction in that the plan becomes a firm commitment at this stage.

The paper concludes with a brief summary and a list of recommendations for future activities within the Management Studies Group of the Society aimed at definition of a basis for application of the disciplines described in the paper.
