Abstract
It has been a long time which many experts of strategic management have found that about 50 to 90 percent of the formulated strategies either not implemented at all, or their implementation have poor results. As a result, a wave of researches has examined the obstacles to strategy implementation. The present research aimed to integrate the obstacles of the strategic implementation in Iranian government organizations into cohesive set. The research strategy was research synthesis. By referring to the most important databases in Iran, 40 articles were received and validated through CASP method. To analyze the data, inductive and deductive content analysis were conducted simultaneously. A total of 291 different obstacles were identified which were divided into 12 sub-obstacles, 4 main obstacles, and 2 themes. The results showed that although the obstacles were numerous and diverse but most of them are related to the implementation of strategies. In addition, over the years of the study and research on the strategic implementation obstacles, the obstacles have not diminished in terms of quantity and diversity. This phenomenon indicated that there has not been long-term orientation to address and solve the obstacles. As a result, the theory of short-term society, which is used to describe Iranian society, represents the phenomenon.
