POINTS OF INSPIRATION FOR INTERVIEWS
THE 13 ARTICLES DIRECTLY USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SEMI-STRUCTURED INTERVIEW GUIDE Strategy What is Strategy? (Porter,
1996)
Do they compare themselves to rival companies when they establish goals or values in JWN?
Identity Great Debates in
Organizational Identity Study (Gioia & Hamilton, 2016)
Does JWN see that they have an identity similar to Jabra or are they influencing each other? Or have they taken a new or remaining identity?
Strategy;
Identity; Change
When strategy needs identity and vice versa: A temporal view of the strategy–identity
interplay (Schultz &
Hernes, 2018)
We could look at the identity of JWN and relate it to their strategy to see patterns of this interplay or if there is any.
Also look at their time horizons for strategic change.
Identity; Change Organizational identity change and temporality (Schultz, 2016)
Look at how the identity is formed and if the identity is based on past or future events.
Strategy;
Narrative
Strategy as practice and the narrative turn (Fenton
& Langley, 2011)
We could try to uncover some of the narratives if any are present in JWN
Sensemaking Sensemaking in
organizations (Weick, 1995)
We can use this to ask question for related to their sensemaking and see which of these 7 elements that is most visible at JWN
Strategy Strategy as order
emerging from chaos (Stacey, 1993)
-> How do they agree on their goal?
-> How do they share ideas/knowledge/information and learn from each other?
-> How much of the JWN knowledge is freshly created, how much comes from Jabra? = old practices vs new ones -> How flexible is JWN’s agenda?
Strategy The design school:
Reconsidering the basic premises of strategic management (Mintzberg, 1990)
-> is the strategy articulated only at the top/by the board?
-> is it only the goal determining the strategy or is it also the structure and the environment that surrounds JWN?
-> is it due to the strategy still being under development, that it has not yet been officially communicated?
Page 123 of 282 -> is it a strategy to implement the strategy as it gets formulated?
Organizing Co-constitution, causality,
and confluence:
Organizing in a world without entities (Gergen, 2010)
-> about “scientist as agent of cultural change”: about the influence of discoveries about diversity in the firm and its importance on the interviewee’s feel about goals of the JWN
-> about action-supplementation dynamics: do they feel that their actions are supplemented by that of their JWN peers?
-> about “confluence” instead of cause and effect: how do they feel that the dynamics of the JWN goal setting and changes in Jabra impact one another/coexist?
Organizing Going Back to Go Forward:
On Studying Organizing in Action Nets (Czarniawska, 2013)
-> about organizing among organizations: how they feel about the formalities that separate their organizing from Jabra as an organization? how do they feel formal permission or active cooperation/recognition from Jabra plays a part in organizing the JWN? (or something like this) -> about action nets: to where do they feel their collective actions are bringing the JWN / Jabra towards?
-> about organizations obstruct organizing: how do they feel Jabra gets in their way of organizing through their JWN collective actions?
Organizing Actor-Network Theory, Callon’s scallops, and Process-based
Organization Studies (Hernes, 2010)
-> about ANT and the participation of material actors in the network for broader meaning: how do they feel the participation of material actors comes together to support the creation of JWN strategy?
Sensemaking Future-oriented sensemaking:
Temporalities and institutional legitimation (Gephart, Topal & Zhang, 2010)
About sensemaking creating interpretive schemes and the production of one scheme as dominant in a given setting:
do they feel the strategic path they’re pursuing for the JWN is shared among their peers?
Identity Organizational Identity and Identification:
Charting New Waters and Building New Bridges (Albert, Ashforth &
Dutton, 2000)
-> do the board members see the interest in fighting for gender equality / female empowerment as part of their individual/personal identity, and that therefore unites them to have the same identity? Are their personal identities too different to enable a single collective identity?
-> do the members negotiate what is to be the identity of JWN? Do they build it together socially?
-> is the JWN identity set in stone or a process in never ending development?
-> is it planned or emergent?
Page 124 of 282 -> is it differently perceived depending on the geographic location / age / gender of the members?
-> is this point of identification (their interest) basis for group phenomena?
