Scholars have recently demonstrated the centrality of strategic concepts in understanding the practices and praxis of strategy practitioners. In this PDW, we will provide participants with a forum to explore three different research methods that can be used to theorize the role of strategic concepts—topic modeling, analysis of visual artefacts, and ethnographic fieldwork. In the first part of the PDW, empirical studies using these methods will be presented, reflected upon, and discussed. In the second part of the PDW, we will offer participants the opportunity to gather in roundtables with the presenters to discuss strategy-as- practice research related to strategic concepts. In summary, this PDW provides an opportunity for scholars interested in strategic discourse and strategic change to think about the relevance of strategic concepts.
