Abstract: We advocate for adopting a temporal lens on strategizing to increase our understanding of unfolding dynamics over time. Such a perspective encourages a departure from the dominant resource perspective in classical strategy literature, which treats time as an asset for gaining a strategic advantage in competitive environments. In contrast, SAP research views time as a process to understand social actors’ interactions and discourses. It has drawn from an understanding of structures as “social conventions” within organizations that are continually (re)constituted through actors’ micro-actions. In this entry, we examine the conceptualizations of time and temporality in the SAP literature more deeply.
