摘要
The purpose of this study is to examine top management's sensemaking as a strategy practice. Building on the sensemaking perspective (Balogun et al., 2014; Weick, 1995), this research proposes that top management's sensemaking both enables and constrains strategising. This empirical analysis of a key informant interview and publicly available materials examines the sensemaking that constructs the role of the private healthcare service industry in Finland. This in-depth analysis of sensemaking in top management contributes to the literature on sensemaking in strategic management by adding empirical evidence on the role of language in strategy making.
