The article describes the issue of strategy implementation considering the operational (intra-organizational) risk factors accompanying that process. The relation between the risk level and the size of the organization was analyzed. The research sample included 150 entities, which were divided according to their size. The study was conducted using a direct questionnaire interview. For independent samples, the Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance was used. The research results did not confirm the existence of the correlation assumed. Some regularities, however, may be indicated for companies of various sizes. They refer to the area of processes as well as some factors within the area of employees and resources. The level of strategic objectives achievement was also analyzed as one of the key determinants of strategy execution effectiveness. The results showed that there is a correlation between the degree of strategic objectives achievement and the size of the enterprise. (original abstract)
