Stewart Clegg is a prolific publisher of several hundred articles in leading academic journals in strategy, social science, management and organization theory; is also the author and editor of about fifty books, as well as a Fellow of the British Academy of Social Sciences, a Distinguished Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Management, a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia, and the recipient of significant awards from the American Academy of Management for his contributions to management theory and practice. Jochen Schweitzer is a researcher, educator, business writer and management adviser based at the University of Technology, Sydney. With extensive professional experience and as a scholar he offers both a scientific and a practical perspective on questions of strategic management, innovation, collaboration and the management of creative organisations. Andrea Whittle is Professor of Management at Newcastle University Business School and previously Head of the Strategy, Organization and Society Research Group. Before joining Newcastle University in 2013, Andrea held a Chair in Organization Studies at Cardiff University. Andrea started her academic career in Natural Science, then did a PhD in Sociology in the field of Science and Technology Studies and since then has taught Management in Business Schools. Andrea's interest in strategy started without plan or design - much like many strategies themselves emerge. While doing an ethnography of a group of management consultants for her doctoral research, she was fascinated by the social, political, material and discursive processes through which the group tried to shape the firm's strategy agenda, albeit not always successfully. Since then, she has gone on to develop a keen interest in strategy as practice, applying organization theory and social theory to the study of strategizing processes in a range of contexts. Her more recent work has included longitudinal ethnographic research on a strategy project team in a Multinational Corporation and work on how top managers account for their strategic decisions following crises and scandals. Central to all her work is a concern for understanding how discourse and power are implicated in all forms of organization - of which strategy is not an exception but an exemplar. Christos Pitelis is Head of Brunel Business School and Professor of Strategy and Sustainable Competitiveness. He co-founded and directed for twenty years the Centre for International Business and Management (CIBAM) at the University of Cambridge, where he is a Life Fellow of Queens' College, and the University of Bath, where he was also a Professor of Sustainable Global Business. He has held visiting appointments among others at the University of California Berkeley; Copenhagen Business School; University of St Petersburg and University of Technology Sydney.
