Stefan Einarsson is a PhD Student in Business Administration at the Stockholm School of Economics (SSE) since 2005. His research concerns strategy in coherent groups of organisations – you might even call them spheres of organisations within Civil Society. The focus of this research is the vehicles of distinction and separation that decides which organisations are inside and what organisations are outside the sphere, as well as the mechanisms of integration that keeps this diverse set of organisations together into a coherent group or sphere of organisations. Of particular interest is when different logics, rationalities and organizational forms are mixed within the same coherent group of organizations. Current research is on strategy formulation and implementation within the Swedish temperance movement.
Key words; strategy, governance, civil society, social movements, foundations, legal forms.
