By removing time from theoretical accounts, variance theorizing abstracts away from the tempo- ral flow of much of organizational life. The tempo- ral structure of social practices and the uncertainty and urgencies that are inherently involved in them are passed over in the search for empirical regular- ities and contingency models of explanation. The particulars that make knowledge actionable—what to do, at what point in time, in what context—are not included in the timeless propositional state- ments typically generated in variance theorizing (Sandberg & Tsoukas, 2011: 342).
