The Practice of Strategy IG focuses on the interplay between what strategy practitioners “do” and the practices they use that guide and influence their strategies. In a multi-polar world, emerging and developing markets have made global economic power more distributed, creating greater economic interdependence between nations and corporations. We welcome contributions that are novel, interesting and counter-intuitive in advancing the field of strategy-as-practice by addressing any of the following and related questions: What new ways of thinking are required of strategy practitioners in a multi-polar world? How do the interplay between strategy workers, praxis and practices differ cross-culturally? What are the micro, meso and macro implications of strategizing within and between emerging and developing markets? Where are the new theories of strategizing? How can we better leverage on a multi-disciplinary approach to inform and advance the strategy practice agenda? What new lessons can we learn in teaching strategy-as-practice? And what are the methodological innovations and challenges in helping organizations create new ways of thinking and doing?
