Giddens à la Carte? Appraising empirical applications of Structuration Theory in management and organization studies

There is an increasing interest in the application of Structuration Theory in the
fields of management and organization studies. Based upon a thorough literature
review, we have come up with a data-set to assess how Structuration Theory
has been used in empirical research. We use three key concepts of this theory (duality of structure, knowledgeability, and time-space) as sensitizing concepts
for our analysis. We conclude that the greatest potential of Structuration Theory
for management and organization studies is to view it as a process theory that
offers a distinct building block for explaining intra and interorganizational
change, as exemplified through concepts such as routine, script, genre, practice, and discourse.
