Authors: | Pirker-Krassnig, Thomas |
Keywords: | Six Sigma Business Strategy |
Issue Date: | 2010 |
Publisher: | Bangkok Univ. |
Abstract: | Purpose
The study examines the question, if the business process excellence
methodology Six Sigma can be applied to enhance business strategy implementations.
Design and methodology
Through a literature review on strategy implementation, on Six Sigma as well
as on the combination of both, a survey amongst managers and decision makers
engaged in strategy implementations and a semi-structured focus group interview with
experts in both fields yield the necessary literature background and the empirical data
for this research.
Findings
Six Sigma can be directly applied in the strategy implementation process to
enhance the handling of strategy implementation success factors. Six Sigma can
indirectly be a means for a better achievement of strategic goals and for better strategy
implementations respectively as organizations, which use Six Sigma as a process
management and improvement methodology or moreover as a management
philosophy, are able to implement new strategies more successfully, efficiently and
faster.
Implications and research limitations
The findings of this study can help companies to improve on their strategy
implementation efforts as the results offer a new approach through the application of
Six Sigma. In order to extend the validity of this research the research population can
be extended in terms of quantity, geographical aspects as well as industry sectors.
