Abstract: This chapter investigates how power theories can inform the study of strategy as practice, and vice versa. Understanding strategy with Freedman as the "art of creating power", the study of the ways in which power and strategy interact, and how one leads to the other should be a central concern for scholars of strategy. Whilst providing an overview over the key writings that have emerged at the interface between power and strategy, this chapter also attempts to point towards several possible future lines of inquiry. It is organized following a rather simple heuristic device (strategy as noun, strategizing as verb, strategic as adjective) which will emphasise the different agents, mechanisms and effects that can guide the analysis of power and strategy.
