The study explores pausing in action is, within the ambit of Strategy-as-practice (s-ap) as an emergent school of thought. Pausing is thus discerned during the implementation phase of the strategy of a credit risk system within a South African bank, as strategy is known to take shape during implementation. Different sites of the bank’s systems – change, strategy practitioners, and their times of pausing, form the unit of analysis. Strategy-making and engagement are explored by understanding the influence of pausing on enabling or disenabling the strategic outcome of the risk system. Pausing is situated in an applied and theoretical gap as an intangible under-theorised strategy practice. Practitioners, as champions or non-champions of strategy, pause in various ways, and attribute meaning to this ‘action’. Their account of pausing is recognised for its value-adding or diminishing dimensions to strategy-making. The study follows a comprehensive literature review which shows limited theoretical positions on embodied, latent practices, such as pausing, as strategic practices. The body of knowledge provides a challenge for scholars to consider perceived ‘silences’ or the ‘receding’ of strategists as un-remarked dimensions of strategy, which could nevertheless be instrumental in the nature of the strategic outcome. The contribution of the current study identifies pausing as a strategic practice, especially when considered within the structure of engagement and social learning / Business Management / M. Com.

The study also suggests an analytical model - based on qualitative research and documentary analysis – to define the study sample, investigate data, identify patterns, organise and codify a large amount of information within all reports searched. The analytical model represents a framework in which the result is a collection of practices being reported, functioning as a useful guide and practical reference for higher educational institutions – signatory or otherwise – when promoting or advancing transformational change in their business model. The framework could also be valuable for Graduate Schools – or even Primary Schools to High Schools – considering the urgency of the 2030 Agenda, especially its 4.7 target, referred to as 'An education for sustainable development and global citizenship'. / Este estudo propõe um diagnóstico do que seria o estado da arte das práticas sendo reportadas através dos relatórios SIP (Sharing Information Process) pelo Champions Group, um grupo de escolas de negócios que são signatárias do Principles of Responsible Management Education (PRME, uma iniciativa da Organização das Nações Unidas pelo Pacto Globa) e que se comprometeram a liderar mudanças transformacionais em direção a formação de lideranças mais responsáveis quanto a aspectos sociais e ambientais. O estudo também sugere um modelo analítico – baseado em pesquisa qualitativa a análise documental – para os processos de definição da amostra de pesquisa, de investigação de informações, identificação de padrões, organização e codificação de uma vasta quantidade de dados contidos no total de relatórios pesquisados. O modelo analítico representa um framework no qual o resultado corresponde a compilação das práticas reportadas, representando um guia útil e uma referência prática para instituições de ensino superior – signatárias ou não do PRME – quando estiverem promovendo ou avançando em mudanças transformacionais de seu modelo de negócio. O framework pode também ter valor para escolas de Graduação – ou mesmo para escolas de ensino fundamental e ensino médio – considerando a urgência destacada na Agenda 2030, especialmente na meta 4.7, que faz referência a 'uma educação para o desenvolvimento sustentável e para a cidadania global'.

Football violence was a rare phenomenon in France until the nineteen eighties. Harsh economic times coupled with the challenges of unemployment brought a different type of fanatic to football stadia. To vent their frustration about the economic difficulties of their time, some fans found an easy scapegoat: the increasing number of African immigrants in France. These fans, known as hooligans, have become organized and can be found supporting most major French football clubs, disrupting what once was a relatively tranquil national pastime. This thesis traces their development in France, looks at what they borrowed from Italian and English fan groups, and suggests how their organization is now uniquely French.
