This paper proposes a study of strategic information circulation practices. It draws on Simon and March works (Feldman & March, 1981; March & Simon, 1958; Simon, 1947) about information to address practices of strategic information circulation as social practices, as addressed by the Strategy-as-Practice approach. The focus on social practices opened ways for better understanding the fuzziness behind people accessing, collecting and using of information.We examined how major French companies organized the processes of strategic information circulation. We propose an integrative metaphorical model that represents a taxonomy of four type of practices that companies set to organize strategic information circulation.
