Sari Laari-Salmela

I am a senior research fellow (management and organization studies) at the University of Oulu Business School, Finland. My overarching mission is to improve our understanding of strategic organizing and organizations' strategy processes and practices through research on humanistic aspects of participation and inclusion, strategic ambiguity, and strategizing in networks. My background is in international business, but currently, I'm focusing on public management issues, such as public procurement as a strategic practice. In my work, I combine organization-theoretical viewpoints with discussions on business relationships and networks, business ethics, and information systems, and apply social practice theories and systems-theoretical perspectives (Luhmann). My work has appeared in journals such as Business Ethics Quarterly, Industrial Marketing Management, Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of Business Research, and Journal of Strategic Information Systems.
