Organizing, Strategizing, and Entrepreneuring: Strategy as Something that People Do

Strategizing Activities and Practices (SAP) is an inclusive community that is devoted to fostering research into practices of organizing, strategizing, and entrepreneuring. This community understands strategy as something that people do rather than something that organizations have. Such an interest directs our attention to the myriad, seemingly small-scale activities that actors perform on a day-to-day basis, as well as the consequential effects of these activities for large-scale patterns and outcomes such as strategic continuity and change, social inequality, as well as market emergence and evolution. At the same time, this interest calls for an appreciation of the role of the broader institutions in shaping practices: People do not perform activities in isolation but draw upon the regular, socially defined modes of acting that arise from the plural social institutions to which they belong.
