This edited book examines the relationship between the materiality
of artefacts and managerial techniques, combining the recent
scholarly interest on socio-materiality with a focus on management.
Exploring managerial techniques, the social and material tools used
by actors to guide or facilitate collective activities, topics
include their socio-materiality, performative dimension, role in
managerial control, relationship to organisational space and
relationship to organisational legitimacy. This volume particularly
explores the valuation and legitimation practices or processes
involving managerial techniques, their modalities, specificities
and involvement in collective activity within organisations. The
overall aim of the chapters is to explore in different ways and
instances the way in which material artefacts are able to inscribe
and enforce managerial action which affects daily work practices.
Materiality, Rules and Regulation: New Trend in Management and
Organization Studies concentrates on the relationship of rules and
regulation to the materiality of artefacts, practices, and
organizations. It combines the recent scholarly interest on
sociomateriality with a focus on regulation and rules.
The book explores how time is materialized and performed in
organizations; examines how organizations and organizational
members are constituted by and constitutive of material artefacts;
and reflects on what a historical perspective on these
materializations can bring to the study of organizations.

Materiality and Space focuses on how organizations and managing are
bound with the material forms and spaces through which humans act
and interact at work. It concentrates on organizational practices
and pulls together three separate domains that are rarely looked at
together: sociomateriality, sociology of space, and social studies
of technology. The contributions draw on and combine several of
these domains, and propose analyses of spaces and materiality in a
range of organizational practices such as collaborative workspaces,
media work, urban management, e-learning environments, managerial
control, mobile lives, institutional routines and professional
identity. Theoretical insights are also developed by Pickering on
the material world, Lyytinen on affordance, Lorino on architexture
and Introna on sociomaterial assemblages in order to delve further
into conceptualizing materiality in 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.

Exploring the different facets of the new world of work (including
the hacker and maker movements, platform work, and digital
nomadism), this edited volume sets out to investigate and theorise
how these new work practices are experienced by various actors. It
explores such changes at both the micro and macro levels and sets
out to link them back to wider social, managerial and political
issues. In doing so, it aims to reflect on the similarities and
differences between new and 'old' work practices and problematize
discourses surrounding the future of work. This volume is
characterized by the diversity of methods mobilized, the plurality
of concepts, lenses and theories deployed as well as the richness
of the empirical accounts used by the authors. It will appeal to a
broad readership of management and organizational scholars as well
as sociologists interested in current changes to the world of work.
