Abstract: This paper examines the discursive mise-en-sens (Corvellec & Risberg, 2007) micro-practices civil society organizations (CSOs) use to influence strategic development of companies. We draw on a Strategy-as-Practice (S-as-P) perspective (Jarzabkowski, 2005; Jarzabkowski, Balogun, & Seidl, 2007; Whittington, 1996; 2006; Whittington, Molloy, Mayer, & Smith, 2006) in order to understand how CSOs develop practices that lead to companies BM evolution. The S-as-P perspective can be used through to various theory basements (Golsorkhi, Rouleau, Seidl, & Vaara, 2010). We draw on the narrative perspective of S-as-P (Fenton & Langley, 2011) in order to explore how CSOs influence, through discourse, the strategic trajectory of companies. We draw on Corvellec & Risberg's (2007) concept of mise-en-sens as it encompasses not only the giving of a pre-conceived sense but how people influence and shape understandings of a situation.
