The objective of this study was to investigate what factors contributed to the success of Ethio-international footwear cluster cooperatives in implementing their business strategies. In this study, the descriptive research design was adopted. Top and middle-level managers, BOD, members, EIFCCOS employees, LIDI specialists, AACA and YCA, COMES and UNIDO experts have been among the study's target group. The purposive sampling approach was used to determine the intended sample size for both groups. To collect data, a questionnaire was employed. A PI-chart with frequency and percentages was used to depict the demographic data. Pearson's correlation was used to characterize the data. Statistical Product and Services Solutions (SPSS) were utilized to provide the sampled data in the form of tables.rnThe cooperatives statute did not adequately address the EIFCCOS organizational structures. The organizational structure lacked clear direction and decision -making authority, lacked proper resource flows, did not address resource availability, and lacked chine of commands and conflicting departments from cooperatives law. The process of determining the proper combination of organizational structure is one of the most important aspects of organizational structure.rnIn addition, the study established that culture as a factor in accounting for organizational performance has been ignored because it encompasses the taken-for-granted values; that trust and communication, acceptance or rejection blaming toward mistake contribute to outcomes that are more productive; EIFCCOS, resources are not prioritized as important as the strategy's success, and that financial, human, and material resources are not adequately allocated in the department to the strategy's implementation.rnThe findings revealed that EIFCCOS lacks an institutional coordination system for determining key decision makers (whether on the board, in executive management, in supervision, or at lower levels) who are responsible for activating information sharing and communication on strategy implementation, as well as a system for members. The study further said that EIFCCOS has to reform its organizational structure, as well as new or updated cooperative rules and cluster policies, to help it become more productive and fulfill its goals.
