Law´s review of his own book "Organising Modernity". If an organisation is a materially heterogeneous process of arranging and ordering, than that process may be understood as strategy: not, to be sure, necessarily (or indeed often) an explicit strategy but rather an as implicit strategy or as a mode of ordering. The argument is that a mode of ordering is like a Foucauldian mini-discourse which runs through, shaping, and being carried in the materially heterogeneous processes which make up the organisation.
