This chapter explains the contribution of Routines Dynamics to the topic of transfer and routine replication. In order to do so, we adopt a chronological presentation of existing studies and describe the concept of routine replication. We identify two strands to study the replication of routines, each of them conceptualizing routine replication differently: First, in a foundational phase, very much inspired by traditional economic theories, the focus is on how existing routines are reproduced efficiently across multiple sites of a given organization. In such a static perspective that dominates most of the past century approaches, routine transfer is viewed as the production of a new routine that is as much as possible similar to the original routine. Second, in a phase that followed the transformational understanding of routine by Feldman and Pentland in the early 2000, routines are no longer characterized as stable but driven by internal dynamics that contribute to both stability and change in organizations. In such a perspective, the focus has been placed on routine re-creation, more than replication, and on the active role of actors who alter routines in order to make them fit into a new target environment.
