Three Entries in the EE Encyclopedia of Strategy-as-Practice: »Organization«, »Practices« & »Participation«
Together with three (former) doctoral students of mine, I had the honor to contribute three quite foundational entries to the brand new Edward Elgar Encyclopedia of Strategy as Practice, edited by Benjamin Grossmann-Hensel, Paula Jarzabkowski, Renate Kratochvil, David Seidl, Paul Spee, and Richard Whittington.
»Organization« (with Alwin Baumhöver):
The ontological question of what defines an organization has not been a central theme in strategy-as-practice (SAP) research (Kuhn, 2021), similar to more traditional strategy research that mostly takes organization for granted, as well. Yet, given the flat ontology of practice-theoretical approaches in general, the (re-)constitution of organizational phenomena from an SAP perspective can be conceptualized in the same manner as any social formation, based upon ongoing, patterned, and socially situated human activities (Schatzki, 2006). Building upon these foundations, one could even go so far to posit that what makes a social formation organizational in particular, is that its constituting bundle of interrelated sociomaterial practices is, at least to some degree, coordinated or driven by practices labelled as ‘strategic’ or ‘strategy-making’.
»Practices« (with Milena Leybold):
Until today, SAP scholarship is driven by the understanding of practice as a “set of doings” (Schatzki, 2002). Accordingly, SAP research aims to bridge the gap between “the theory of what people do and what people actually do” (Jarzabkowski, 2004, p. 529) by conceptualizing strategy as practice – something that people do instead of a stable plan or rigid concept an organization has (Jarzabkowski et al., 2007). Thereby, SAP scholarship differentiates between strategy praxis and practices (Jarzabkowski, 2004; Whittington, 2006). Praxis is understood as the situated, strategically consequential activity and actual work of strategy – also termed “strategy-making” or “strategizing” (Vaara & Whittington, 2012). Practices, on the other hand, are “[c]ognitive, behavioural, procedural, discursive, motivational and physical practices that are combined, coordinated and adapted to construct practice” (Jarzabkowski et al., 2007, p. 11).
»Participation« (with Monica Nadegger):
While participation is a key phenomenon in strategy formulation and implementation (Laine & Vaara, 2007), the opening and closing of participation in strategizing for a diverse set of actors creates new dilemmas (Dobusch et al., 2019; Hautz et al., 2017). On the one hand, participation is crucial for commitment, satisfaction, and quality in strategy-making and implementation and in fostering firm renewal and new capabilities (Friesl et al., 2023; Laine & Vaara, 2015; Tavella, 2021). On the other hand, organizations face increasing complexity and slower or inhibited decision-making capacity when strategizing with a diverse set of actors, and participants themselves experience the burden of strategy work as they become subjects to pressure, power, and control anchored in the strategizing discourse (Hautz et al., 2017; Vaara et al., 2019).
In case you are interested but lack access to the Edward Elgar Encyclopdia of Strategy as Practice, I am happy to provide you with a copy of the full entries.

Jonathan Scott – Nimrod (Enigma Variations Op. 36)

Yesterday I once again headed off after work into Dublin by train to attend a concert by the National Symphony Orchestra this time under the direction of guest conductor Dinis Sousa (whose name is new to me). The programme consisted of two very familiar works, Grieg’s Piano Concerto in A Minor by Grieg and Elgar’s Enigma Variations by Elgar.
To start with, however, we heard a very interesting short piece by Anna Clyne called Masquerade which I enjoyed very much. This is only about five minutes long in performance, but full of energy and dynamics, and was a very suitable appetizer for the courses to follow.
The soloist for the Grieg Piano Concerto was Louis Schwizgebel who played it very well indeed. His articulation was crisp where necessary but also flowing when called for in the more romantic sections. The performance was very well received by the audience and by me. Actually I think that was the best performance of this work that I’ve heard live. Incidentally, I’m told the piano on which he performed was a brand new Steinway. Also incidentally, Edvard Grieg was only 24 when he wrote this piece.
During the second movement a member of the viola section of the orchestra had to leave the stage. I don’t know if she had broken a string or was just feeling unwell. I suppose both of these most happen from time to time in concerts, but I’d never seen it before. Thankfully she was back for the second half.
The Enigma Variations is another piece that is performed quite frequently. I’m not a huge fan of Elgar but this work definitely has its moments and I think anyone who doesn’t find Variation IX (“Nimrod”) uplifting must have something wrong with them. That said, that part is often played too slowly for my taste and can sound funereal rather than inspirational. Anyway, I hadn’t heard this in live performance for a long time so it was very pleasant to hear it again. I had forgotten that there is an organ part to this, actually, and it was good to hear the splendid NCH instrument used especially in the finale.
Overall it was a short (just 66 minutes playing time) but enjoyable concert. I’ll certainly be looking out for Louis Schwizgebel’s name on recordings in future as I think he is a fine soloist.
