Digitally-enabled generative organizational processes (such as
product design and development) change frequently and vary greatly
within and between companies, and over time, making them difficult
to understand and manage. These kinds of generative processes can
be viewed as sets of organizational routines afforded by
technology, which in this thesis are commonly labeled as
"sociomaterial routines." To further complicate sense-making of
such processes for scholars and practitioners, digital innovations
continue to alter the form of sociomaterial routines through the
simultaneous consolidation of tasks and expansion of capabilities,
and thus provide means to both increase and decrease complexity and
variety in organizations. This complex dynamic of sociomaterial
routines offers a tantalizing, yet heretofore elusive, opportunity
to explore the effects digitalization and process structure have on
process variety.

NEW THEORY FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE SOIL, In WHICH IT WILL BE
SHOWN THAT AGRICULTURISTS HAVE HERETOFORE OPERATED AGAINST NATURE,
INSTEAD OF AIDING HER. ALSO, IT WILL BE PROVEN, THAT LAND MAY BE
RENDERED RICH WITHOUT THE APPLICATION OF A PARTICLE OF STABLE OR
COMPOST MANURE. The landed estate is the most sacred interest that
we have in the United States; whatever concerns Agriculture
concerns every inhabitant of the globe, for its interests are the
interests of the world; and, therefore, every effort that is made
to advance the success of the farmer, must spring at once from a
pure spirit of philanthropy and patriotism. He who introduces into
the art of Agriculture any thing new and uselul, renders himself at
once a greater benefactor to mankind, than he who thunders at the
gates of cities, and achieves a thousand victories in the field. I
hold the doctrine to be incontestible, that the man who advances in
any manner whatever the art of husbandry, is more deserving of fame
than was the mad Macedonian when he conquered the world, and sawthe
nations of the earth kneeling before him;?yes, he is far more
worthy of renown than was Napoleon, though thrones trembled and
crowns crumbled at his approach. Alas, that the benefactors of
mankind should so often have met the cold indifference of the
world, and have been left to pine in penury, and perish unnoticed
and disregarded. To the warrior who destroys thousands of his
fellow beings, and makes so many mothers mourn, the marble monument
is erected, and his renown is recorded on the imperishable pages of
history. To him who invents a many chambered rifle to destroy the
human race by the wholesale, thousands of money are given, and his
name recorded in the temple of fame. But how did poor Whitney, the
inventer of the Cotton Gin, liv...
