The strategic management process implies the management staff has at least three engagements: define, conduct and evaluate applied strategy. However, the most common reasons of firm bankruptcy are linked to wrong implementation and that’s why implementation is often defined as the Achills heel of the strategic management process (Roney, 2004, p. 233). Unfortunately, most strategic planning efforts fail during this crucial phase and firms waste significant resources already invested. This paper examines the literature of strategy implementation and post a link between some critical points, important to reduce errors in strategy implementation and improve firm performance.

This paper concentrates on the relationship between trade openness, financial openness and government size concerning the ECO. Compensation hypothesis explains that trade-openness is positively interconnected with the government size. Also, financial openness has negative relationship with the government size. Using panel data for ECO countries during 2000-2009, we have found evidence of a positive relationship between trade-openness and government size and also a negative relationship between financial openness and the size of government.
