The Structuration Theory of the sociologist Anthony Giddens has been, over the past few years, used in several works on a wide range of subject areas and among them, highlights the organizational studies. Despite this extensive use, the Structuration Theory was the target of a lot of criticism and review, as done by Stones (2005), which resulted in the proposal of "Strong Structuration Theory". This article objective present the main concepts of the Strong Structuration Theory, comparing them with the fundamentals of the Structuration Theory and providing initial insights for research in organizational studies, from this theoretical perspective. To achieve this objective was done a critical literature review of the two theories that at the end, allowed the indication of some possible investigations into the organizational scope with the Strong Structuration Theory, in particular from the ontology in situ, proposed by Stones (2005).
