1.0              INTRODUCTION

The task of achieving the objective of an organization is one that has for many years remained a hard not to crack by the management of most organization, and as such left most of the organization either dead or stagnet.

The need for policy making arise due to the nature of business firm that opeates in this era.  A firm which has originally commenced operations in a single product line catering for a unique set of customer in a limited geographical area, expanded in one or more dimension.  Informal control and co-ordinations became partially irrelevant as expansion took place and the need for integrate functional areas arose.  This integration functional area arose.  This integration brings about framing of policies to guide managerial action.  Policymaking became the prime responsibility for effective management system.

The implementation phase in strategic management process consist of a set of activities by which the top management assures that the strategic choice is communicated and related to both the organization and its people.  This is to say that implementation encompasses the activity of developing the organizational structure and climate best suited for the implementation of the chosen or adopted policy.
