  • Abstract
    Rapid and pervasive environmental change has challenged the survival of firms and their ability to sustain competitive advantage.

The strategic plan is expected to establish a sustainable competitive advantage for the firm. Yet a perfect strategic plan is meaningless without its effective implementation
