RESEARCH PROPOSAL1. Project title
Strategy Execution from formalization to Service Delivery: An exploratory study on Abu
Dhabi Executive Office, UAE
2. Overview and significance of the proposed study
This research study will be conducted to explore the issues of strategy execution from
formalization to service delivery. Strategy can be defined as the action plan for achieving short
or long term goals and objectives in the organizations (Grant, 2016). Efficient strategy execution
depends on various factors such as management skills, available resources, flexibility and
adaptability of the human resources, external environment like economic, political and social
condition, competitive position of an organization etc. (Scholes, 2015). There are many steps or
processes involved in strategy formulation and implementation or execution. To achieve the
maximum output from a strategy, it is highly important to not only formulate the strategies
relevant to the organizational goals and objectives, but also to implement those effectively by
incorporating the opportunities and addressing the challenges and constraints tactfully. As stated
by Fréchet & Goy (2017), strategy formalization is a process of communicating the strategies in
a simple manner to the stakeholders of an organization. Formalization can be defined as the
degree to which the written rules, policies, procedures, description of job roles and
responsibilities and other types of documents describe the actions to be performed or not to be
performed under given circumstances within the institution. Thus, rules, policies, procedures and
other types of strategy formalization are useful for bringing about vertical coordination through
the specification of the expected behaviors by the employees. Sołoducho-Pelc (2015) highlighted
that in terms of the design decisions determining the organizational structure, formalization

RESEARCH PROPOSALrepresents the outcome of the high level of specialization of the labor, high level of delegation of
the authority, usage of functional departments and wide spans of organizational control.
Usually strategies are discussed and developed by the board and advisory committees on
a firm or institution, whether public or private, and it is the responsibility of the institution to
convey the message and the plans to the internal and external stakeholders, so that the aim and
purpose of the organization can be understood by the stakeholders and thus the actions to achieve
the desired outcome of the strategies can be executed most effectively (Gumusluoglu & Acur,
2016). Hence, the role of strategy formalization is very crucial in any firm. At the same time,
efficient strategy execution is also important else the effectiveness of the strategy formalization
would be reduced. Thus, through this study, the researcher will be exploring the factors affecting
strategy formalization and execution for service delivery in the context of Abu Dhabi Executive
Office (ADEO).
Abu Dhabi Executive Office (ADEO) is administrative body in the Abu Dhabi
Government. The job role of ADEO is to monitor and follow up the implementation of all the
strategic and executive plans of all types of entities which are affiliated to the Abu Dhabi
Government. It is also responsible to look over and assess the performance of those entities.
Furthermore, ADEO is also responsible for supervision and contribution in the laying down of
the strategic and executive plans of the UAE government and predicting the future opportunities
and challenges in the aspects such as, operational, strategic, administrative, scientific, financial,
and governance and ensuring the adjustment in implementation of all types of strategies
(linkedin.com, 2019). The council is chaired by the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy
Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan
(Ecouncil.ae, 2019).

RESEARCH PROPOSALThus, it can be said that ADEO has a very critical role to play in the strategy development
or formulation, formalization and execution for achieving the goals and objectives of individual
entities under public and private sectors and also of the government as a whole. Since, the field
of operation is very large for ADEO, there are quite few challenges which affect the
effectiveness of their strategy formalization and service delivery. Through this research, the
challenges will be explored and recommendations will be provided to address those challenges
or constraints for achieving effective strategy formalization and execution in the service delivery
by ADEO.
3. Aim and Objectives
The aim of the study is to explore the processes of strategy formalization and execution
in the Abu Dhabi Executive Office (ADEO) and the challenges faced by the organization in
effective strategy implementation in efficient service delivery and to suggest improvement
measures to the organization.
The research objectives are:
To explore the strategy formalization and execution processes followed by ADEO
To evaluate the challenges faced by ADEO in efficient service delivery while formalizing
and executing strategies
To recommend measures to improve their strategy formalizing and executing processes
in order to improve their service delivery to the government and all other type of entities
in public and private sectors
