Observed through a temporal lens, organizational life fluctuates
among moments of instantaneity, enduring continuity, and
imagination of distant times. This movement stems from the fact
that actors are continually faced with multiple intersecting
temporalities, obliging them to make choices about what to do in
the present, how to understand the past they emerge from, and how
to stake out a possible future. Although scholars have widely
recognized actors' multitemporal reality, it remains to be more
fully theorized into an integrative framework. In this book, Tor
Hernes takes up this challenge by combining foundational ideas from
philosophy, sociology, and organization theory into an integrative
theoretical framework of organizational time. Based on a review of
the literature, his definition of time includes four dimensions:
experience, events, resource, and practice. He provides examples of
how these four dimensions evolve through mutual interplay and how
they are underpinned by what he calls narrative trajectory. He then
discusses implications for key topics in organizational research,
including materiality, leadership and continuity and change.
Organization and Time is for scholars and advanced students of
organization studies, management studies, technology studies, and
sociology.
