Abstract Text | In this paper, we compare Routine Dynamics (RD) and Strategy as Practice (SAP) based on an extended literature review. RD and SAP are distinctive communities of thought in organization studies that exhibit a number of striking parallels: both subscribe to the overall “practice turn” in the social sciences, want to bring the human being back in, and predominantly focus on the level of action involved in organizational routines and strategy. However, in spite of all the obvious parallels and points of connection between RD and SAP communities, there hasn’t been any systematic comparison of these two research streams. Against this background, we compare similarities and differences of RD and SAP, focusing in turn on their underlying theoretical perspectives, their treatment of the relation between micro and macro and the empirical methods employed. Based on that, we discuss what RD can learn from SAP and vice versa. We conclude with some general reflections on the future relation between the two research communities and develop an agenda for research areas of possible “cross-fertilizations” in future research. |
