What are practice theories? Where do they come from? What do they
say? Do they offer something new to the study of work and
organization? Practice theories are a set of conceptual tools and
methodologies for investigating, analysing, and representing
everyday practice. They develop the idea that phenomena such as
knowledge, meaning, science, power, organized activity, sociality,
and institutions are rooted in practice. The volume provides a
rigorous yet accessible introduction to this emerging area of
study. Recognizing that a unified theory of practice does not
exist, the book surveys the main scholarly traditions that have,
collectively, contributed to the practice turn in social and
organization studies. Each chapter examines the main assumptions
and concepts of these traditions, discussing their distinctive
contribution to work and organization studies. The chapters are
accompanied by a fully worked example of how the theory can be
applied to empirical research, making the text suitable for
teaching purposes. The book will constitute a valuable resource for
researchers and graduate students in organization studies and
management, and scholars across disciplines who are interested to
know more about the topic.
