This PDW calls for discussion about scholarly engagement with under-represented contexts in Strategizing and Organizing as Practice (SOAP) research and related fields. The PDW emphasizes the importance of exploring geographic areas and empirical phenomena overlooked in strategy and organization research. While much SOAP research has traditionally centered on European and North American contexts, there is a pressing need to expand inquiry into regions such as Africa, Asia, and South America, where strategizing practices may differ and remain underexplored. Understanding context-specific practices will enrich the field, illuminate how unique cultural and indigenous influences shape organizational strategies, and offer insights into their transferability and adaptability across diverse global settings. Thus, this PDW aims to trigger research to gain new essential insights and build connections and conversations with other research fields.
