Abstract

'Overall, I found this book insightful and intriguing. As an interested. outsider, I appreciated the aim of the activity-based framework and its key. concepts. While I believe that many scholars will similarly recognize the. significance of the theoretical apparatus developed, the real value of the book. lies in the fact that it raises more questions than it answers. This is especially helpful in emerging areas of research, and in this case, Jarzabkowski has astutely signaled an agenda for future scholarship that will no doubt fuel the. continued growth of this subfield. Strategy as practice heralds a defining moment in how strategic management is understood. Paula Jarzabkowski's book leads the way in setting out the meaning and implications of this new field' - Organization Studies. This book is the first of its kind to help readers bridge the gap between what managers actually do and organizational strategies. It provides an activity-based framework for studying strategy as practice, with empirical evidence to illustrate the dynamics of this framework in real terms.
