This research is based on the observation of a shift in the business models and governance models of organisations facing competition. This shift results in the transformation of strategies, in more or less well-defined forms, such as platform strategies. It also causes a change in the ways in which strategies are represented and modelled; research on business models is an illustration of this. Lastly, it requires us to reconsider processes of strategic reflection via the social interactions both internally and externally that underpin decisions (more or less deliberated, more or less emerging), as well as the formalisations and discourses used by strategy practitioners in communicating with their stakeholders.
