We briefly review key theories underpinning business strategy and its implementation. A small plant bakery in the UK was analysed, identifying its Critical Success Factors (CSF) and Key Performance Indicators (KPI) comparing these with previous periods and other successful bakery businesses. Furthermore, the case study strategy is used to guide this research. We seek to determine if critical success factors and key performance indicators can be used to improve strategic direction, performance and prioritise new investment. Together with reviewing the small plant bakery’s employee’s opinions of how they feel the small plant bakery is achieving on its strategy and CSF’s. The findings of this research are described and further refinements for future research are proposed. |
