Complexity, anachronism and time-parochialism: historicising strategy while strategising history
本文探讨历史与战略的关系,质疑主流管理学中关于战略概念起源的断裂论,认为视角变化而非本体变化解释了新研究领域的建立,并讨论对更广泛历史研究的启示。
The focus of the article is the relationship between history and strategy. Although little interest can be found in mainstream management journals, the hidden relationship between history and strategy is looked for here in a double sense. On the one hand, the article will try to historicise strategy, questioning the alleged discontinuity that is normally used to explain the emergence of the notion itself. More than changes at the ontological level, it is changes at the perspectival level that explain the establishment of the new area of research. The article also discusses possible implications for broader historical research when taking into account some of the hidden distinguishing features of strategy studies and strategising history.
