Artifacts in organizations are ubiquitous but often overlooked. The
chapters in this book illustrate that artifacts are everywhere in
organizational life. They prevail in how offices are decorated,
language is used, business cards are designed, and office cartoons
are displayed. In addition, artifacts can be seen in the name of an
organization and its employees, products, buildings, processes, and
contracts, and they represent people, organizations, and
professions. Artifacts and Organizations suggests that artifacts
are neither superficial nor pertinent only to organizational
culture. They are relevant to a rich and diverse set of
organizational processes within and across multiple levels of
analysis. Artifacts are shown to be integral to identity,
sense-giving and sense-making processes, interpretation and
negotiation, legitimacy, and branding. The book seeks to
communicate that artifacts are often much more than what is
currently recognized in organizational research. The four sections
of this edited volume address various aspects of what is known
about and known through artifacts. Together, the full set of
chapters challenge the field to move beyond a narrow
conceptualization and understanding of artifacts in organizations.
This book leads students to embrace the full complexity and
richness of artifacts. In addition, the text seeks to inspire those
who focus on artifacts as symbols to delve deeper into the
complexities of artifacts-in-use, for individuals, organizations,
and institutions.
