Description: Materiality and Organizing : Social Interaction in a Technological World, Paperback by Leonardi, Paul M. (EDT); Nardi, Bonnie A. (EDT); Kallinikos, Jannis (EDT), ISBN 0199664064, ISBN-13 9780199664061, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Ask a person on the street whether new technologies bring about important social change and you are likely to hear a resounding "yes." But the answer is less definitive amongst academics who study technology and social practice. Scholarly writing has been heavily influenced by the ideology of
technological determinism - the belief that some types or technologically driven social changes are inevitable and cannot be stopped. Rather than argue for or against notions of determinism, the authors in this book ask how the materiality (the arrangement of physical, , or rhetorical
materials into particular forms that endure across differences in place and time) of technologies, ranging from computer-simulation tools and social media, to ranking devices and rumours, is actually implicated in the process of formal and informal organizing.
Th builds a new theoretical framework to consider the important socio-technical changes confronting peoples everyday experiences in and outside of work. Leading scholars in the field contribute original chapters examining the complex interactions between technology and the social, between
artefact and humans. The discussion spans multiple disciplines, including management, information systems, informatics, communication, sociology, and the history of technology, and opens up a new area of research regarding the relationship between materiality and organizing.
