Participation

Chapter 4.37 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Strategy as Practice, 2025, pp 501-503 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Participation stems from the Latin word participāre, meaning to take part in or have a share of something. Strategy-as-Practice (SAP) literature defines strategizing as a practice with a diverse set of actors who can take part in and share their knowledge, expertise, and time in strategizing activities. Participation then extends to any contribution of an activity to a strategic decision that is in some way recognized as such. Thereby, participation in strategy work extends beyond the boardrooms of top management and invites new organizational members, e.g., middle managers or frontline workers, as well as external actors such as experts, customers, or audiences to have a voice. Participation research in SAP revolves around two key themes: (1) the subjectivities facilitating or restricting participation and (2) participation dynamics in open forms of strategizing.
