摘要

本研究探讨了产品如何在话语策略中唤起代理。产品不仅仅是战略的结果,在战略的初始形成过程中也发挥着作用,最终可能阻碍战略更新,也可能促进战略更新。从理论上讲,我们借鉴了后人文主义表演性的思想,它认为话语和物质性是不可分割的,并允许我们阐明物质性在管理者的话语策略中唤起代理的方式。在经验上,我们通过参加一家软件公司为期2年的战略会议进行了纵向实时研究。我们的研究结果揭示了公司产品在语篇策略制定过程中所诱发的两种形式的物质代理:内住代理和外住代理。当产品的逻辑开始构建战略话语的范围时,内置代理就表现出来了。当产品吸引了意想不到的顾客时,外居代理就会表现出来,这随后会改变管理者的战略范围。这些发现丰富了对重要性对战略成果的贡献的理解。

Material Agency in Discursive Strategizing – The Study of a Software Company Seeking Global Growth
This study examines how the product evokes agency in discursive strategizing. Rather than solely being outcomes of strategizing, products also play a role in the initial formation of strategy, which eventually may both hinder and promote strategic renewal. Theoretically, we draw from ideas of posthumanist performativity, which considers discourse and materiality as inseparable and allows us to elucidate the ways in which materiality evokes agency in managers’ discursive strategizing. Empirically, we conducted a longitudinal real-time study by participating in a software company's strategizing meetings for 2 years. Our findings reveal two forms of material agency evoked by the company product during discursive strategizing: indwelling and outdwelling agency. Indwelling agency manifests when the product's logic starts to frame the scope of strategy discourse. Outdwelling agency manifests when the product attracts unexpected customers, which later alters managers’ strategic scope. These findings enrich the understanding of the contribution of materiality to strategic outcomes.

Its intent is to explore ideas and build knowledge in management theory and practice, with a focus on creative, nontraditional research as well as key controversies in the field. The journal seeks to maintain a constructive balance between innovation and quality, and at the same time widely define the forms that relevant contributions to the field can take.
