Abstract
Routines within organizations enable members to execute their work plans and achieve their strategic objectives. Because routines involve replication and repetition, some researchers have regarded them as rather mindless patterns of action, but recently scholars have begun to view routines as “mindful” accomplishments—especially routines that are changeable and open to variation1. Although there has been widespread attention to evolution and variation in routines, few studies have specified how routines actually stay the same, or how they are maintained2. Empirical studies increasingly conclude that routines are not objectively given, but are constantly in the process of being accomplished in a particular context.3
