“…According to Mintzberg et al 10 , strategy development is addressed by often referring to change. Therefore, it has to do with change and not continuity.…”

“…The work of Mintzberg 10 and Motta 5 converge, although they differ in terms of the terminology used. Thus the concepts of how change emerges, whether intentional or evolutionary, formal and planned or informal, if arising from management or individuals and groups, are all present in the classifications of both authors and, if taken as extremes, could be represented as follows in Figure 1.…”

“…According to Mintzberg [8][9][10] there are four ways to define a strategy. While in many cases a strategy is used merely as a plan, the author also works with the definition of pattern, position and perspective.…”

“…This proliferation of theories and models has created uncertainty as to what researchers should be looking for when they examine strategy. Authors such as Venkatraman and Camillus (1984), Mintzberg (1990), Mintzberg et al (1998), and Whittington (1993) have addressed this problem by organising these perspectives into schools. The authors of these typologies argue in effect that scholars should abandon the view that there is only one version of what is strategy, and instead accept that there are multiple versions of what constitutes strategy, each with its own set of assumptions and related dimensions.…”

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link AbstractThe primary research question examined in this paper is whether ethnic and non-ethnic family firms in the United Kingdom differ in their strategy-making. The paper uses the typology of strategic decision making produced by Whittington (1993) to derive contrasting predictions of strategy-making by ethnic versus non-ethnic firms. Drawing on a questionnaire study of 76 high-growth family firms, and subsequent in-depth fieldwork with 40 of these, the findings show that the ethnic origin of the controlling family has a significant influence in determining the dominance of a particular strategy paradigm. However, successful high-growth family firms are not associated with any particular school of strategy. The influence of family bonding on strategy-making was greater in ethnic family firms than non-ethnic family firms. The advent of the second generation of South Asians in family firms, and closer integration of immigrant and host communities, has not altered these apparent differences. The findings challenge researchers on family firms to adopt a multiple perspective approach to strategymaking.

“…Knowledge of these processes enables researchers and practitioners to engage with them. As with Morgan's (2006) metaphorical exploration of organizations and Mintzberg et al (2005), exploration of strategy, HRM should be viewed from many perspectives and not just those that emphasize rationality. Constructionism enables researchers to see how HRM practices are politically constructed, or how they might be psychological representations of particular individuals and HRM departments.…”

and Key Results• Specific concerns have been raised about the ontologies and epistemologies that have dominated HRM research and the concomitant ubiquity of positivistic research methodologies. These concerns have also given rise to calls for more pioneering research framed within alternative paradigms. This paper considers the theoretical and practical value of alternative approaches to the study ofHRM.• Results show, drawing on interpretive studies ofHRM rooted in different epistemologies, ontologies, and methodologies that a composite body of HRM scholarship is needed, where dominant and emerging approaches to the study ofHRM are mutually supportive.
