Abstract
This paper tries to describe and analyse the use of a
development project as a means of strategy
implementation. In the research, empirical data based on
interviews linking strategy and development projects in
Finnish industry is combined with a theoretical
discussion on using new product and internal development
projects in strategy implementation. Different forms of
strategy implementation in various strategy schools were
considered. The linking of strategy and development
projects was classified into three categories: 1)
Development projects are derived from strategy; 2) the
objectives of development projects are derived from
strategy, and 3) the selection criteria of development
projects are derived from strategy.
