The papers included in the volume explore how mobilizing Boltanski
and Thevenot's EW framework helps address questions regarding the
premises and dynamics of agreement and disagreement in coordinated
action, both within and across organizations, and by so doing, help
advance our understanding of organizational processes more
generally. The book is organized into four sections, each with
contributions that address one of the four core theoretical
objectives around which the volume is structured (1) to clarify how
individuals manage the contradictions and compromises inherent to
organizational pluralism; (2) to look at organizations critically
by unpacking the roles of rhetoric and justification in the
practice of critique; (3) to reconsider valuation and evaluation in
organizations; and (4) to push the boundaries of the EW framework.
These four objectives provide a scaffolding that helps further
embed the framework in our contemporary thinking about
organizations.
This book aims at clarifying the role of materiality, spaces,
digitality and embodiment in institutional dynamics from the
perspective of Management & Organization Studies. Presenting a
rich set of theoretical, methodological and epistemological
advances on materiality and institutions, it also gives voice to
distinctive and diverse perspectives on materiality in
institutions, structuring chapters into four major topics:
artefacts and objects, digitality and information, space and time,
body and embodiment. This book sparks discussion and debate about
ontological dimensions of Management & Organization Studies,
including post-discursive, visual, phenomenological and material.
With a foreword by Professor Thomas B. Lawrence, Said Business
School, University of Oxford.
The 'institutional' approach to organizational research has shown
how enduring features of social life - such as marriage and
bureaucracy - act as mechanisms of social control. Such approaches
have traditionally focused attention on the relationships between
organizations and the fields in which they operate, providing
strong accounts of the processes through which institutions govern
action. In contrast, the study of institutional work reorients
these traditional concerns, shifting the focus to understanding how
action affects institutions. This 2009 book sets a research agenda
within the field of institutional work by analyzing the ways in
which individuals, groups, and organizations work to create,
maintain, and disrupt the institutions that structure their lives.
Through a series of essays and case studies, it explores the
conceptual core of institutional work, identifies institutional
work strategies, provides exemplars for future empirical research,
and embeds the concept within broader sociological debates and
ideas.
