Routine Dynamics and Management Practice

This Chapter discusses the potential and relevance of a practice perspective on management that sees routines and the dynamics of routines as an essential focus of managerial engagement. The Routine Dynamics research program has opened the door for this view on management, to understand how management shapes stability and change in organizations. The Chapter presents studies on the role of management in enacting routine performance, in reflecting routine dynamics, and in mobilizing specific settings to creating and changing routines. Furthermore, the study of management routines, essential for stability and change in managerial engagement itself, has recently gained attention, in the context of the Strategy-as-Practice research program. We explore the current state and identify promising opportunities for future research
