’This book deals elegantly with the questions about the role of management raised by strategy as practice research: If strategy is emergent and based on the actions of people who work in and for the organization and if these people have agency, what is the role of management in creating strategic direction? It provides a comprehensive overview and novel synthesis of research relevant to the question of how management actions and enacted routines produce realized strategies through the multiplicity of actions taken in the performance of organizational work. Through Grand's theorizing of engagement regimes, strategic management becomes a fully dynamic activity connecting the micro (enacted performances of routines in organizations) and the macro (realized strategies).’
