Generally, Dr Enang’s research interests revolve around the intersection between strategy process and practice research and innovative approaches to qualitative research methods. Therefore, she is fascinated by understanding how things happen and can be made to happen within organizations; as well as the material-discursive practices through which organizational realities are accomplished. Hence, her core aim is to bring into focus the nature of ‘living activity’ of organizing and strategizing that enable strategic change.

Within her PhD, she dared to do things differently, inspired by a need for ‘new ways of seeing’. Thus, she was able up to propose new theoretical understandings, and to develop creative styles of conducting, presenting and writing up qualitative research. She was awarded her PhD without corrections.

Dr Enang’s areas of expertise include but is not limited to:

• Strategy as process research
• Strategy as practice research
• International business theories
• Narrative research methods
• Storytelling as a research methodology
• The use of NVivo (Qualitative Data Analysis Computer Software Package)
