Abstract

This paper engages with the epistemological foundations of and current developments in the canon of strategic management. The Cartesian underpinnings of strategy are explored; the assumptions of orthodox strategic management are critiqued; the concerns of the practice perspective are reviewed; and,finally, an agenda for extending the study of 'strategy as practice' is outlined.
