Abstract
This paper describes methodological challenges when conducting multi-level archival research of strategizing in extreme contexts. Strategizing in extreme circumstances is methodologically tricky, especially given the complexities between the individual and organizational levels throughout time. This study demonstrates how these two levels interact in five sub-processes: sensemaking, organizational learning, producing, prioritizing, and ethical decision-making, and how these sub-processes are essential in defining and reshaping strategy in four extreme circumstances. By showcasing a glimpse of a vignette, we frame our methodological and complexity challenges encountered in a field context.
