The seeking of strategy where it is not: Towards a theory of strategy absence

Strategic Management Journal, 1995, vol. 16, issue 4, 313-323

Abstract: Strategy researchers are preoccupied with the study of existing strategy systems and processes, with the result that they do not question situations where a strategy is expected to exist but does not. The investigation of such voids is likely to enhance greatly the understanding of the nature of organizational strategy, both in its presence and in its absence. The perspective offered in this paper is that strategy absence is a legitimate phenomenon of interest to business management scholars.
