In the Loop: A Realist Approach to Structure and Agency in the Practice of Strategy
引入批判实在论方法，结合Archer的分层本体论和反思性理论，为战略实践研究提供新视角，将行动条件与行动本身分析性分离，便于考察二者随时间变化的相互作用。
This paper introduces and illustrates a critical realist approach to the practice of strategy, combining Archer’s stratified ontology for structure, culture and agency with her work on reflexivity, to provide strategy-as-practice with an innovative theoretical lens. By maintaining the ontic differentiation between structure and agency this approach renders the conditions of action analytically separable from the action itself, thereby facilitating the examination of their interplay, one upon the other, at variance through time, in strategy formation and strategizing. It therefore offers the field a fruitful methodological means of exploring the increasingly complex empirical implications of some practice theoretical claims.
