A quick reminder that the next Strategy-as-Practice Review Group meeting will take place on April 29th (10:30am – 4:00pm) at Saïd Business School, Oxford University.

If you would like attend, please e-mail Gary Burke (burkeg@aston.ac.uk). All are welcome.

SAP-R Group Meeting: April 29th Saïd Business School
Dear SAP-IN members,
The next Strategy-as-Practice Review Group (SAP-R) meeting is scheduled to take place on April 29th (10:30am – 4:00pm) at Saïd Business School, Oxford University. These meetings were established on behalf of the Strategy-as-Practice international network to provide a friendly, supportive and stimulating forum where scholars, with a common interest in the practice of strategy, can come together to help colleagues develop their papers and, in particular, address reviewer comments.
If you would like to participate, please contact Gary Burke (burkeg@aston.ac.uk). All are welcome, although we are especially keen to attract scholars with experience of the revise and resubmit process, as authors, reviewers or editors. There is no registration fee and lunch and refreshments will be provided.
We need at least one more paper to discuss, so if you have a suitable manuscript plus journal feedback please send us details. We are happy to include both 'revise and resubmits' and 'rejects' - we hope that SAP-R can help in either case!

Call for Submissions: Strategy Practice Interest Group in SMS Atlanta
Dear Colleagues,
The Strategic Management Society (SMS) will be hosting the 33rd Annual International Conference in Atlanta (28 September-1st October 2013) with a theme of “Strategy and Sustainability”

The Strategy Practice Interest Group (IG) of SMS (http://strategicmanagement.net/ig/practice_of_strategy.php) would like to encourage you to submit your best paper proposals (only 7-pages max., inclusive of Reference, Tables and Figures) before the deadline of 27th February 2013. The conference will provide for an excellent forum for exchange of ideas for anyone studying and/or practicing strategy, strategizing and strategic management.
The Strategy Practice IG focuses on the interplay between what strategy practitioners “do” and the practices they use that guide and influence their strategies. We welcome high quality submissions from Academics
(As), Business Practitioners (Bs) and Consultants (Cs), including proposals that advocate the co-production of knowledge between combinations of As, Bs and Cs. We are particularly interested in
contributions dealing with the key challenges, issues and unsolved problems facing the work of strategy, strategizing and strategic management. We look for contributions that are novel, interesting and counter-intuitive in advancing the field of strategy practice.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me, Hanna, hanna.lehtimaki@uef.fi, or our Chairperson, Timo, santalainen@stratnet.org !
If you would like to help out with the Sunday program and have ideas about potential sessions, please contact our Associate Program Chair, Elena at E.Antonacopoulou@liverpool.ac.uk

New book on Practice Theory
I wanted to bring to your attention a new book that will be of interest for most S-as-P colleagues:
Davide Nicolini Practice Theory, Work, and Organization. An Introduction Oxford University Press.
The volume provides a rigorous yet accessible introduction to practice theory. Recognizing that a unified theory of practice does not exist, the volume surveys the main scholarly traditions that have, collectively, contributed to the practice turn in social and organization studies. Each chapter examines the main assumptions and concepts of these traditions, discussing their distinctive contribution to work and organization studies. The chapters are accompanied by a fully worked example of how the theory can be applied to empirical research, making the text suitable for teaching purposes.
Here is how Richard Whittington describes the book "Deep and broad, argumentative and pluralistic, theoretical and methodological, this is a landmark book. For the growing community of practice-orientated scholars in organization studies, Davide Nicolini's book provides the go-to resource."
A 20% discount coupon for S-as -P members is attached.
