This book examines the nature of work and management, centring on
documents as a class of management objects which have been
relatively understudied in ethnomethodological research. Treating
documents and similar artefacts as ordering devices, the authors
describe consociation - the social organisation of patterns of
coordinated action in situations where the usual resources of face
to face communication are absent. With a focus on senior managers,
this volume provides a description of the interior configuration of
the world of senior management as the encountered, everyday
experience of managing, drawing on first person experience rather
than ethnographic fieldwork to shed new light on the importance of
third person reflection upon practical understandings. An
innovative study of the social character of such management objects
as spreadsheets, strategic plans, computational models and charts,
Action at a Distance will appeal to scholars of sociology with
interests in ethnomethodology, the sociology of work and method in
the social sciences.
