What are organizations? Where do they come from? How are they
transformed and adapted to new situations? In the digital age and
in the global network society, traditional theories of the
organization can no longer answer these questions. Based on
actor-network theory, this book explains organizations as flexible,
open networks in which both human and non-human actors enter into
socio-technical assemblies by constantly negotiating and
re-negotiating programs of action. Organizations are not macro
social structures or autonomous systems operating behind the backs
of individuals. Instead, they are scalable actor-networks guided by
network norms of connectivity, flow, communication, participation,
authenticity, and flexibility.
