First, I'll admit I'm lost in this class. Why am I a business major again?

Anyway--I have the first part of my homework already done. The part I am NOT understanding is this:

1. Describe ways in which managers implement strategy.
2. What are steps that managers can take to implement a strategy


What I need is help finding sources. I understand the basic steps involved here--I do them myself every day. But I am having a hard time relating this to managerial accounting, and it seems that my searches online (this is an online class--my library is a virtual library with a search function like Google's) are turning up zilch that is actually usable. I cannot use sites like AMHD or Yahooanswers for obvious reasons--and wiki is completely out for the same reasons.

Can someone please help me find a logical description of this on a legit website, or at least give me some possible search terms? I have to write 500 more words on those two bullet points, so I'm not asking that you do my work for me, but I've now spent over 10 hours trying to find this, and I'm frustrated past the point of tears and am at the point of letting it go to hell and taking the bad grade.

Help, please!
