| Tiivistelmä: | In this paper the authors develop a theoretical framework for understanding failure in processes of organizational strategizing. Drawing on an intensive, longitudinal field study of organizational decision making, the authors examine the attempts and ultimate failure of members of a British symphony orchestra to construct an artistic strategy for their organization. The authors argue that failure in organizational strategizing can be understood as resulting from the interplay of certain elements of organizational discourse and specific kinds of political behaviour. Specifically, the authors propose a model of organizational strategizing 'episodes' that comprises four distinct stages. The authors argue that for each stage, there are particular discursive and political factors that can lead to failure. |
