Results from the study give support to the key theoretical propositions. Precisely, the present study has succeeded in answering all the research questions as well as the objectives despite some of limitations. While there have been, numerous studies investigating the factors that affect strategy implementation, however, the current study addressed the theoretical gap by incorporating IT capability as a significant mediating variable for strategic leadership.
