They needed to be led by a suitable vision in order to implement comprehensive changes to their operations and remain viable. This study explores this constitution of vision as a mechanism of intentional change, a strategic tool to reach the desired future for the organization. Going beyond the current literature, the authors ask to what extent, and how, organizational members reconstruct vision in a way that it can support or detain change, a question of importance for management scholars as well as professional managers in both public and private organizations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t“\u003cem\u003eThis is an excellent body of ethnographic scholarship on institutional entrepreneurship within the defense R\u0026amp;D sector, beautifully written and complete with a rich description of Gamma - a truly deep ethnography\u003c\/em\u003e.”  \u003cb\u003e·  \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSiri Terjesen\u003c\/strong\u003e, Indiana University\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e“\u003cem\u003eThis book is a pleasure to read.
