"As estratégias bem sucedidas também são situacionais e o que resulta num dado ecossistema competitivo, deixa de funcionar quando este ultrapassa certos limites de mudança. Por isso, o conceito de business landscape que se move (introduzido por Ghemawaht), independentemente da vontade ou da actuação do actor. Aos actores resta-lhes ficarem atentos e preverem as mudanças, para se anteciparem e aproveitarem as oportunidades que elas trazem, ou anularem as ameaças que se desenham no horizonte... não há direitos adquiridos!"

Há dois anos, neste postal "O nosso Eu em construção, em função do futuro que desenhamos e visualizamos" escrevi:
.
"Aquele “building the future they aspire” é algo que eu desejava que em 2008 mais empresas descobrissem. O poder de criar o seu próprio futuro, em vez de esperarem por ele. Em vez de depositarem as suas esperanças num D. Sebastião, agarrarem o touro pelos cornos."

Pois bem, esta semana descobri um livro que desenvolve esta perspectiva: "Strategy as Practice - An Activity-Based Approach" de Paula Jarzabkowski.
.
A primeira frase do livro é:
.
"Strategy is not just something a firm has – a position. It is also something that a firm and its multiple actors do."
...
"STRATEGY IS SITUATED ACTIVITY
Situated refers to the way that activity both shapes and is shaped by the society within which it occurs. Since all activity is situated activity, actors cannot be considered separately from the context or situation in which they act. (Moi ici: Daí que não existam estratégias vencedoras absolutas, ter sucesso é estar vivo, e permanecer vivo implica alterar a estratégia para fazer face ás mudanças da realidade exterior. E mais, é perigoso ter razão antes do tempo!)

Practice must, therefore, take into account both the broad social situation that provides institutionally embedded codes of conduct and the micro interpretations of that situation in constructing activity within an organization. This embedded construction of situated activity is termed ‘praxis’. Praxis is a chain of social events ‘where operation and action meet, a dialectic synthesis of what is going on in a society and what people are doing’.
...
Situated activity does not, therefore, assume an objective, stable state with a durable set of meanings, but is an ongoing process that remains under construction. An activity-based view of strategy is concerned with the dynamic and mutable construction of activity, in which ‘Mutual intelligibility is achieved on each occasion of interaction with reference to situation particulars rather than being discharged once and for all by a stable body of shared meanings’.
...
then strategy is never a reified state but is continuously constructed through activity. This continuous construction is known as ‘becoming’. Becoming encompasses three important themes about activity – inertial, stabilizing and changing activity – that are at the heart of practice based theorizing.
Strategy is typically a teleological activity, meaning that it is future oriented. (Moi ici: Algo de muito difícil quando se é jogador amador de bilhar)
Hence it is imbued with terms such as vision, mission, goals, objectives, directions; all words that conjure a future anticipated state. To this extent, strategic activity is goal-directed activity. However, this does not naively assume that goals are achieved. Rather, strategizing oscillates, ... between some desired future and current activity, in which current activity helps to create the future, while anticipations of the future shape current activity (Moi ici: Daí esta deliciosa lição de Ortega Y Gasset e, daí as limitações que as acções passadas estabelecem sobre as hipóteses de escolha actuais relativamente ao futuro - espaço de Minkowsky). Oscillation between these states involves an ongoing feedback process of becoming in which ‘the heavy hand of the past is present in the future’"
