Practices

Chapter 2.29 in Elgar Encyclopedia of Strategy as Practice, 2025, pp 216-218 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Strategy-as-Practice (SAP) scholarship has its theoretical roots in practice theories. Influenced by philosophers such as Heidegger or Wittgenstein, a diverse group of philosophical thinkers, sociologists, and anthropologists (e.g., de Certeau, Foucault, Bourdieu, or Giddens) contributed to what is called the “practice turn” in social theory. Given the variety of interrelated practices influencing strategy-making, SAP-related research has empirically engaged with a broad range of phenomena to study the construction of strategy through practices; thereby investigating which and how practices are used, how this mobilization changes over time, as well as what consequences these “patterns of use” have for praxis. These engagements have led to important insights complementing and challenging previous strategy research.
