摘要：Objective: Considering that pluralism has been relatively ignored by classical studies on strategy, and that it is increasingly present in 21st century organizations (Jarzabkowski Fenton, 2006), the goal of this study was to understand how knowledge of strategizing in pluralistic contexts has been broadened on the basis of the research conducted by Jarzabkowski and Fenton (2006).Methods: We adopted a qualitative approach to make a narrative literature review, searching on the Ebsco, Scopus and Periódicos Capes databases. Six publications on strategizing in pluralistic contexts were selected and grouped according to their common characteristics: tensions in strategic management in pluralistic contexts; empirical studies on strategies in pluralistic contexts; and proposals on how to deal with the pluralism of organizations.Originality/relevance: This research emphasized the importance and the need to advance the knowledge of strategies in pluralistic contexts, considering the plurality that is commonly found in contemporary organizations.Results: Our results indicate that strategizing in pluralistic contexts is a recent topic which has been little addressed by the strategy research agenda. The six selected studies point out to tensions inherent in pluralist contexts: some address how certain environments deal with these pressures while others propose solutions to minimize the pluralism of organizations.Theoretical/methodological contributions: Our study contributed to the compilation and analysis of the advancement of knowledge about strategizing in pluralistic contexts. We identified the rise of this field of research and stressed the need to develop this theme in view of the progress of the plurality that is present in organizations.
