Over the past 15 years, organizational routines have been
increasingly investigated from a process perspective to challenge
the idea that routines are stable entities that are mindlessly
enacted. A process perspective explores how routines are performed
by specific people in specific settings. It shows how action,
improvisation, and novelty are part of routine performances. It
also departs from a view of routines as "black boxes" that
transform inputs into organizational outputs and places attention
on the actual actions and patterns that comprise routines. Routines
are both effortful accomplishments, in that it takes effort to
perform, sustain, or change them, and emergent accomplishments,
because sometimes the effort to perform routines leads to
unforeseen change. While a process perspective has enabled scholars
to open up the "black box" of routines and explore their actions
and patterns in fine-grained, dynamic ways, there is much more work
to be done. Chapters in this volume make considerable progress,
through the three main themes expressed across these chapters.
These are: Zooming out to understand routines in larger contexts;
Zooming in to reveal actor dispositions and skill; and Innovation,
creativity and routines in ambiguous contexts.
