| Management research is engaging increasingly with practice theories, drawing on these in management domains as wide as information systems, strategy, leadership and entrepreneurship. While practice-theoretical studies in these domains share a commitment to understanding their various domains in terms of human activity, they developed relatively independently, and thus established their own idiosyncratic agendas. These agendas entail different understandings of what constitutes a "practice-theoretical approach" and the distinctive advantages that can be derived from engaging with it. We are now confronting a situation where leveraging and exploiting this diversity calls for a cross-domain dialogue. This symposium will serve as a platform for discussing the opportunities for cross-fertilization between the practice-theoretical approaches to strategy, information systems, leadership and entrepreneurship with the aim of advancing our understanding of the present and the future of the practice turn in management studies. |
