SAP Vlog: Richard Whittington on "Completing the Practice Turn in Strategy Research"

  


About This Video
In this SAP Vlog, Maximilian Heimstädt (Witten/Herdecke University) speaks with Richard Whittington (University of Oxford) about his paper “Completing the Practice Turn in Strategy Research”. The interview includes topics such as:
- How did the author ‘sense’ the emergence of a practice turn in strategy research?
- How can the paper be used for teaching MBA, as well as research students?
- Why has the author recently amended the core framework of the paper (adding “professions” as an additional core concept)?

About the SAP Vlog
The “SAP Vlog” (Video + blog = Vlog) is a new initiative by the Strategizing Activities and Practices Interest Group’s (SAP IG) of the Academy of Management. In this series, we publish 5–10 min interviews with authors of work that has extended our understanding of the practice of strategy-making. Such interviews provide viewers with behind-the-scenes insights into the origins and developments of the ideas that these works advance, as well as retrospective reflections on the timeliness and reception of these ideas in contemporary discourses. If you would like to create and publish a vlog post, please get in touch with Rangapriya (Priya) Kannan (priya@SanDiego.edu).
