Three Responses to the Methodological Challenges of Studying Strategizing*
讨论了三种有前景的研究方法（互动讨论组、自我报告和实践者主导研究），以应对大型跨国组织中战略制定研究的矛盾压力，强调将组织成员视为研究伙伴而非被动信息提供者。
Empirical studies of strategizing face contradictory pressures. Ethnographic approaches arc attractive, and typically expected since we need to collect data on strategists and their practices within context. We argue, however, that today's large, multinational, and highly diversified organizational settings require complimentary methods providing more breadth and flexibility. This paper discusses three particularly promising approaches (interactive discussion groups, self-reports, and practitioner-led research) that fit the increasingly disparate research paradigms now being used to understand strategizing and other management issues. Each of these approaches is based on the idea that strategizing research cannot advance significantly without reconceptualizing frequently taken-for-granted assumptions about the way to do research and the way we engage with organizational participants. The paper focuses in particular on the importance of working with organizational members as research partners rather than passive informants.
