Abstract—To execute the strategy more effectively, this study proposes an integrated model combining the resource-based view of ‘McKinsey 7S’ and the industrial organization point of view. The model was tested through collecting primary data from employees of a disguised transformer manufacturer (TRANSCO). The findings prove that neither the resource-based nor the industrial organization is effective independently towards solving the strategy implementation problem, although the study suggests that the resource-based view is more reasonable than the industrial organization viewpoint. Indeed, the model of this study, which combines both viewpoints by employing the strategy formulation and the balanced scorecard, offers a more comprehensive solution and contributes to resolving the most difficult stage of strategic management—strategy implementation.
