Reviewing the Usefulness of “Zooming” on Routine Studies

Chapter 1 of Technical Notes Series on Howard-Grenville et al. (2016)

Abstract

This article focuses on Chapter 1 “Advancing a Process Perspective on Routines by Zooming Out and Zooming” of Howard-Grenville et al. (2016a). Their Chapter 1 introduces the contents of subsequent chapters from a process school perspective while using analytical frameworks such as routine “entanglement” and “zooming”. This article first provides an overview of Chapter 1 and then discusses what issues are seen in the way the authors of Chapter 1 presented their analytical frameworks and how routine research has developed subsequently.
