Abstract
How do meanings of strategy, as found at a fundamental level in the beliefs of individual strategists, influence the participation of those managers in the strategy process? In the strategy literature there is scarce research that investigates how ‘strategy’ is conceived in practice by those actors engaged in strategizing processes. In this paper, using insights from 82 interviews with managers in FTSE-100 firms, we seek to firstly explore the key dimensions of meanings of strategy in practice; and secondly explore how this understanding could in turn inform scholarly understanding of the strategy process. We show that strategy meaning-making is characterized by certain institutionalized central themes and understandings that are both constraining as well as enabling the broader strategy making processes.
