The Public as Co-strategizers:
Communicative Perspectives on Strategizing
in the Public Sphere
The PDW seeks to enhance participants' understandings on how communicative perspectives help to conceptualize and investigate the influences of public discourses, competitors’ decisions, or other critical events in the public sphere on strategizing.
Questions raised:
- How can the “public sphere” be conceptualized and what is the role of the public sphere in organizational strategizing?
- How does the public co-strategize?
- How does strategy come into being in and through the public spheres?
- Who or what is a co-strategizer in the public sphere?

PDW Structure
The PDW has two parts:
First, four well-published SAP and/or CCO scholars present and discuss their perspectives on strategizing and the role of communication in the public sphere constituting the public as 1) a co-strategizer and 2) a site of strategy processes.
Second, up to four PDW attendees will discuss their work-in-progress with one roundtable facilitator. The PDW requires an application for the second part (until July 31st), but the first part is open to all AoM attendees.
PART I:
Panel
no registration needed
Come and join us!
CONNECTING
TWO COMMUNITIES
To conjoin academic discourses on the role of the public sphere as an actor and/or a context of strategizing, the PDW brings together two communities: Strategizing Activities and Practice (SAP) and Communicative Constitution of Organizations (CCO). Scholars who have successfully contributed to these communities will support PDW participants by providing new insights and advice to develop their work-in-progress on the nexus of strategizing and communication in and by the public sphere.
