The paper "Theorizing Practice and Practicing Theory" by Martha S. Feldman and Wanda J. Orlikowski explores the emerging field of practice theory and its application to organizational phenomena. The authors identify three approaches—empirical, theoretical, and philosophical—that relate to the what, the how, and the why of using a practice lens. They discuss three principles of the theoretical approach to practice and provide examples of how practice theory has been used in organizational literature and their own research. The paper highlights the challenges and opportunities that practice theory offers for organizational scholarship, emphasizing the importance of human agency, the rejection of dualisms, and the relationality of mutual constitution. The authors also share their personal experiences with practice theory, including Feldman's work on routines as practices and Orlikowski's research on technology in practice, to illustrate the practical applications and insights gained from this theoretical framework.The paper "Theorizing Practice and Practicing Theory" by Martha S.
