A chapter in Elgar Encyclopedia of Strategy as Practice, 2025, pp 1-7 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Strategy as Practice (SAP) is one of the most dynamic and innovative fields in management research. It is an approach to studying strategy that emphasizes what people do rather than what firms have. The emergence of SAP aligns with a broader “practice turn” in social science. This Encyclopedia is a comprehensive resource featuring entries on SAP's theoretical foundations, key theorists, core concepts, methodologies, phenomena, connections to other research communities and the infrastructure supporting the SAP scholarly community. It offers valuable insights into the field while providing inspiration and ideas for future research.
