Product Description
Review
'This is a marvellous book in many ways. The simultaneous attention to epistemology, theory and methodology are quite unique. If you want to understand the epistemological underpinnings of strategy-as-practice, the underlying theoretical schools of thought, and the methodological implications for conducting empirical research, this is it. The annotated exemplary papers concretize the distinctive features of strategy-as-practice and provide guiding examples for those wanting to engage in relevant empirical research. It will be a landmark contribution to what is probably the most exciting area of research in strategy today.' Haridimos Tsoukas, Professor of Organisation Studies, University of Warwick and ALBA, Greece
'Strategy as Practice explores the relationship between strategy and the day-to-day performance of organizational work and provides useful ways of connecting previous and future research to this significant agenda. This book is an important contribution to the scholarly efforts to theorize the relationship between what people do and the patterns that their actions create.' Martha S. Feldman, Johnson Chair for Civic Governance and Public Management University of California, Irvine
'As researchers studying business strategy have devoted more and more effort to statistical analyses of readily available databases, their findings have come to emphasize highly rationalized interpretations of past events. One result has been prescriptions that advocate results to achieve without offering guidance about how to achieve these results. The Strategy as Practice movement calls on researchers to pay more attention to how people develop and pursue strategic goals in real life. This thrust is a much-needed addition to the portfolio of strategy research, and this book shows that such research promises intellectual challenge as well as practical utility.' William Starbuck, Professor in Residence, Lundquist College of Business, University of Oregon
'The strategy community (academics, consultants, practitioners) tend to work in separate silos with limited crossover. The authors have succeeded in breaking across these seemingly impenetrable silos. They find common ground in the strategy-as-practice.org community and through their excellent analysis of research methods attempt to find out 'what people do in relation to strategy'. They discuss the methodological issues and provide examples of the value of such cross-silo research projects. Strategy as Practice will fundamentally change the cogitative map of the reader and will increase the rate and quality of knowledge-transfer between these sub-sections of the strategy community.' Dr Rehan ul-Haq, Strategy & Alliances Academic and Consultant, Birmingham Business School, University of Birmingham --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
