This PDW offers participants an opportunity to explore connections and possibilities between current research in two areas: Strategy- as- Practice (SAP) and Routine Dynamics. Research in SAP and Routine Dynamics shares many similarities and intersects in multiple different ways. In this PDW, we focus on an area of overlap that has received little attention thus far: how the enactment of strategizing practices interweaves with the enactment of other organizational routines.
In Part I of the PDW, three senior scholars will present a combination of empirical studies and theoretical reflections on this topic: Carlo Salvato will present an empirical study of The Campari Group that analyzes the relationship between middle manager-level and executive- level routines for mergers and acquisitions; Sarah Kaplan will reflect on the role of top management activities in changing routines at Citigroup; and Richard Whittington will provide broad-level theoretical reflections on the relationship between strategizing activities and enactment of routines.
In Part II of the PDW, we offer participants an opportunity to submit research proposals and receive feedback from presenters and discussants. In summary, this PDW provides a forum for scholars in SAP and Routine Dynamics to build community and discuss current research that sits at the intersection of strategizing activities and routines.
Part I is open to all attendees of the AoM. Scholars interested in participating in Part II are kindly requested to
submit a 500-1000 word description of their project that engages strategy and routines from a theoretical and/or empirical perspective. Submissions should be sent to the organizers Katharina Dittrich (
katharina.dittrich@uzh.ch) or Vern Glaser (
vglaser@ualberta.ca) by
July 24th 2017.
