| Abstract: | This study examines strategic (hereafter as: str.) decision-making at the boardroom level of two non-profit professional associations, dealing with directors' (here as: dirs.) str. orientations, decisions and discourse in their holistic context. This study employs a longitudinal complete member researcher, participant observer methodology. Its findings are analyzed from an institutional theory perspective, revealing among others selective championing of strategies by dirs., the evaluation of str. proposals and progress in financial resource/outcome terms, and dirs.' attention to navigating str. initiatives through organizational politics. |
