The webinar will: i) explore whether the field of strategic management is healthy and slowly but surely accumulating knowledge over time, or instead, fragmenting into too many phenomenon-centric theoretically-disintegrated subfields that don’t cumulate knowledge (or that talk past to each other), and, ii) discuss what is the role of theory, of different kind, in informing this dynamic and in resolving the tension between phenomenological fragmentation and the integration/accumulation of knowledge.

Justin Frake (Ross, Michigan) will start the webinar by presenting his work on “what is strategy?” which documents key trends in our field over the last decades. The patterns documented therein will be a shared context for the remained debate and discussion. Joe Mahoney (Gies, Illinois), Mary Benner (Carlson, Minnesota; editor SMJ) and Rodolphe Durand (HEC Paris) will contribute their arguments, own original work, experience, and vision related to these issues.
