Pensando e agindo estrategicamente:novos desafios para a análise estratégical

Este artigo estabelece uma postura crítica e analítica em relação às abordagens baseadas em microatividades para se entender a estratégia. Argumenta-se que tais abordagens trazem desafios teóricos e empíricos importantes. Argumenta-se também contra a tendência ao reducionismo, sem igual ênfase nas influências contextuais que configuram a estratégia em um nível micro. Finalmente, o artigo defende uma abordagem mais internacional e comparativa para os estudos da estratégia em um nível micro. This paper takes a critical and evaluative stance toward micro-activity-based approaches to understanding strategy. It argues that such approaches bring with them important theoretical and empirical challenges. The paper argues against a tendency to reductionism without equal emphasis to the contextual influences that bound micro-strategising. Finally, the paper argues for a more international and comparative approach to micro-strategy studies than has currently been the case.
