Tóm tắt	Process research in organizations studies how and why things emerge, develop, grow, and terminate over time, treating change as a flow of events rather than a relationship between static variables. Ann Langley's 1999 Academy of Management Review article gave the field a toolkit, laying out seven generic strategies for theorizing from messy, longitudinal process data and weighing their strengths against the goals of accurate, parsimonious, and general theory. Van de Ven and Poole's 1995 article supplied a complementary conceptual map, identifying four basic motors of organizational change — life-cycle, teleology, dialectic, and evolution — that underlie how development unfolds. Langley, Smallman, Tsoukas, and Van de Ven's 2013 editorial consolidated the maturing field of process studies, foregrounding temporality, activity, and flow and clarifying the ontological commitments that distinguish process research from variance research. Together these works define a distinct mode of inquiry centered on sequence, timing, and unfolding.	Sensemaking analysis studies how people in organizations turn confusing, ambiguous circumstances into accounts they can understand and act on. Karl Weick's 1995 book Sensemaking in Organizations defined the construct and its properties — sensemaking is grounded in identity, retrospective, enactive of the environments people then face, social, ongoing, focused on extracted cues, and driven by plausibility rather than accuracy. Weick, Sutcliffe, and Obstfeld's 2005 Organization Science article took stock of the concept, emphasizing that sensemaking is the activity through which organizing itself happens: people notice and bracket cues, label and categorize them, and act in ways that further shape the situation. Sally Maitlis's 2005 study added the social and political dimension, showing how leaders and stakeholders engage in sensegiving to influence others' interpretations, producing distinct forms of organizational sensemaking. As an analytic approach it is qualitative and interpretive, tracing meaning-construction through talk, narrative, and action.
