Strategizing routines

Abstract: Empirical research on strategy making uncovers to what extent strategizing is routinized. In a classical definition, routines are identified as recurrent patterns of action, across multiple situations and sites, in different organizations and contexts, and over time. It is only with Strategy-as-Practice (SAP) that strategy research has started two decades ago to systematically unpack the black box of strategy making, to understand its social fabric, and thus its habitual, routine character. Prominent practice-based theoretical approaches emphasize habit, structuration, discourse or habitus as central to understand practice. Therefore, scholars have started to study “strategizing routines” as an important phenomenon in its own right, drawing on practice theory more broadly, or including insights from the more specific Routine dynamics research program (RD). Thereby, RD allows to unpack the detailed working of routines in strategizing.
