Mobilizing pilot-based evidence for the spread and sustainability of innovations in healthcare: The role of innovation intermediaries
An endemic challenge facing healthcare systems around the world is how to spread innovation more widely and sustainably. A common response to this challenge involves conducting pilot implementation studies to generate evidence of the innovation's benefits. However, despite the key role that such studies play in the local adoption of innovation, their contribution to the wider spread and sustainability of innovation is relatively under-researched …
Liminal roles as a source of creative agency in management: The case of knowledge-sharing communities
Studies suggest that the experience of liminality – of being in an ambiguous, ‘betwixt and between’ position – has creative potential for organizations. We contribute to theory on the link between liminality and creative agency through a study of the coordinators of ‘knowledge-sharing communities’; one of the latest examples of a ‘neo-bureaucratic’ practice that seeks to elicit innovative responses from employees while intensifying control by the…
Supporting knowledge translation through collaborative translational research initiatives: Bridging' versus 'blurring' boundary-spanning approaches in the UK CLAHRC initiative
Technology and Organization (RLE: (Organizations)
In this important MBA text the authors adopt a highly integrated approach. Using the three conceptual lenses of power, meaning and design they explore fully the many different ways in which technology and organizations interact. They highlight the major debates within these competing perspectives and argue that the flow of knowledge and ideas within and between organizations is crucial in shaping technologies and organizations alike.
Managing Knowledge Work: Critical Perspectives and New Directions
From the Publisher: Designed as a true teaching text complete with pedagogical features to support learning, this book will provide a rigorous yet accessible approach to the new area of knowledge management. Based on empirical research rather than anecdotal evidence, the text is written specifically for a student audience rather than an academic one
Social capital and political bias in knowledge sharing: An exploratory study
The benefits of social capital for the sharing of knowledge are frequently emphasized in the literature. However, a few authors have also begun to draw our attention towards the drawbacks of social capital for the working of organizations. In particular, instrumental social capital - as opposed to consummatory social capital - is seen as linked to power relations, which can inhibit the sharing of knowledge. To contribute to this debate on the rol…
The politics of networked innovation
Existing studies suggest that, because knowledge is becoming more widely distributed, innovation increasingly needs to occur ‘at the interstices’ of collaborating groups and organizations. Networked innovation processes are therefore emphasized, over more hierarchical or market-based forms, as having distinct advantages for the creation and integration of knowledge. Whilst the structural properties of networks have been heavily scrutinized, there…
The Construction of `Communities of Practice' in the Management of Innovation
Communities of practice have been identified as playing a critical role in the promotion of learning and innovation in organizations. Yet, while innovation may be facilitated within communities of practice, radical innovations frequently occur at the interstices across communities. Here, the performative advantages of communities of practice are less clear. Moreover, while it has been suggested that managers play a critical role in constructing, …
The Role of Intermediary Groups in Shaping Management Fashion: The Case of Knowledge Management
This article seeks to analyze the role of intermediary groups, specifically professional groups and consultants, in the development of management fashion. Consideration of that role highlights the need to develop the institutional perspective on fashion to encompass not only diffusion, but also episodes of theorization and institutionalization. Based on available evidence on the importance of intermediary groups in these episodes, a number of pro…

The Unmaking of Management? Change and Continuity in British Management in the 1990s
In the late 1980s, a series of reports-notably, "The Making of Managers" by Charles Handy-outlined a development path for management in the U.K. This was to be based on the development of an education and training base and the model set by leading corporations. A decade later, this paper reviews current trends in managerial work and employment against the expectations of the late 1980s. In doing so, it distinguishes between the objective conditio…
The Social Engagement of Social Science: A Tavistock Anthology
Si la theorie des systemes socio-techniques s'interesse a l'organisation du travail, elle est critiquee pour deux raisons : la validite de voir les organisations en terme de systemes et de sous-systemes et le niveau de l'analyse. Cette theorie, liee a son temps, a ete appliquee dans des projets de recherche. Si les forces du marche ont sape la base politique de la theorie, l'avenement de la technologie de l'information constitua un principal defi…
