The Chesapeake Bay, once one of the worlds most productive estuaries, has been severely impacted by human activity in the water and on the lands around it. Viewed as an ecosystem, the Bay is no longer able to support the variety and abundance of biota that it was historically able to. Several decades of research on the Chesapeake have pointed to human activities as being the principle reason for this decline. Of these detrimental activities, elevated inputs of Nitrogen and Phosphorus to the Bay were singled out as being the greatest cause of water quality deterioration. The state of Virgini

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Strategic thinking has evolved and different insights of strategy and the way that strategy works in organisations have developed over time. There is a view that strategy is something organisations posses. The strategy-as-practice approach, however, sees the field of strategy as something people do in organisations. The focus is thus on people, and doers of strategy in organisations, which leads to the question of who strategists are, what their role is in strategy work, and what strategy tools are deployed. The aim of this study was to review the existing body of knowledge
