Context is a central concept in organization and management
studies, yet it is often used in a generalized, unspecific manner.
This book offers an interactionist view on context as a dynamic,
relational, and socially enacted phenomenon. It explores context in
action and the theoretical, methodological, and analytical
consequences of this approach through a collection of reflections
and research experiences from the dynamic field of health care. In
the opening chapters, the editors present their framework for
studying context in action and outline three main approaches,
centered on the following questions: What constitutes context for a
phenomenon or an event? How do actors understand, experience, and
engage with context? How do contexts change and what is the role of
actors in such processes? Context and action are then explored
through a range of topics such as enactment and organizational
change, policy implementation, executive work, strategic change,
materiality, technology, patients and relatives' perspectives,
integrated care, quality improvement, and health care support work.
Relevant to both management researchers and practitioners, this
volume provides a definition of context as theoretical construct
based on interactionist and process based perspectives, and a
practical framework for studying context in action which the reader
can use in their own work.
