Despite the increased use of process perspectives in management and organization studies, what “process” stands for remains highly ambiguous. In this presentation I develop a typology of the different meanings of the term process using the area of identity studies as the empirical context. In contrast to the “weak” and “strong” views of process within management and organization studies, the typology shows that there exists a continuum of process perspectives in between the “weak”/“strong” views, namely from process as (1) a transition state, (2) sliding, (3) narrative co-production, and (4) an ongoing accomplishment, to regarding process as (5) all-there-is. Several constitutive features of process that have not been previously illuminated are identified, including: ontology, time, space, and agency. Finally, I discuss how the identified process views and their constitutive features can advance not only process research within the area of identity studies but also within organization studies more broadly (– especially how we can study temporal phenomena.)
