Summary:

"This comprehensive Encyclopedia of Strategy as Practice provides an entry point for exploring the different dimensions of the strategy-as-practice (SAP) perspective on strategy. This perspective implies a fundamental shift in our understanding of strategy - treating strategy as something people do rather than something that firms have. Designed both for readers new to and familiar with SAP, the Encyclopedia features 186 entries written by experts in the field. The entries are structured into six carefully curated sections, which outline the relevant theories, concepts, methods, and phenomena, discuss the relation to adjacent research approaches and map the global community infrastructure supporting SAP-related research, teaching and practice. With its overview of SAP research and its scholarly network, this Encyclopedia serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers in business and management, organization studies, strategic management, and organizational sociology. Practitioners and professionals will also find practical insights grounded in the latest theoretical developments. Key Features: - Includes 186 entries written by experts in the field providing a comprehensive overview of strategy-as-practice research and its community - Offers in-depth insights into the relevant theories, theorists and concepts, as well as the relations to adjacent research approaches such as Attention Based View, Leadership as Practice, Resource Based View and Strategic Leadership - Explores emergent areas of research, including new SAP-related phenomena such as Artificial Intelligence, Climate Change, Gender, Sustainability, and Open Strategy"-- Provided by publisher.
