Supplementing Grounded Theory
Prepared for the festschrift honoring Anselm L. Strauss. My intellectual debt to Anselm is obvious, here as elsewhere. Equally important has been twenty three years of encouragement, sponsorship, and moral support. Teacher, colleague, friend, exemplar: Anselm’s footsteps have made a broad, smooth highway. I am also grateful to Howard S.

Symbolic Interactionism in Social Studies of Science
Before the 1930s, questions about the nature of science were usually linked to the development of the sociology of knowledge and to philosophical debates. Many philosophical perspectives were used to frame and argue about the social nature of the sciences, and echoes of these debates can still be heard. The pragmatist philosophers who laid the basis for symbolic interactionism were particularly interested in the nature of scientific inquiry, meth…

The Management and Dynamics of Anomalies in Scientific Work
This article examines the dynamics of anomalies as part of scientific work. Several types of anomaly are identified: mistakes, artifacts, fraud, and discovery; and typical trajectories for artifacts are described: the establishment of suspected artifacts, changes from unacceptable to acceptable, changes in significance, visibility, and means of control. The conditions under which an anomaly changes status are examined. A detailed example of an an…
Analyzing due process in the workplace
Every office is an open system, and the products of office work are the result of decentralized negotiations. Changing patterns of task organization and alliance inevitably give rise to inconsistent knowledge bases and procedures. This implies that there are no globally correct answers to problems addressed by OISs. Rather, systems must deal with multiple competing, possibly irreconcilable, solutions. Articulating alternative solutions is the pro…

Patterns Of Segmentation And Intersection In The Computing World
Differentiation of the computing world is discussed in terms of the major lines of segmentation and cleavage which generate sub-worlds within the larger computing world context. The relationship of one particular pattern of cleavages-the production system-is described vis-vis other lines of cleavage and segmentation. Patterns of intersection among sub-worlds generated by these lines of cleavage are also discussed, and the implications of these in…

The Social Dynamics of Technical Innovation in the Computing World
The 'computing world,' all those people and groups that collectively produce computers and computer-based services is an especially complex, dynamic and diffuse social world. Technical innovation is a dominant feature of the world. It is organized to provide a continuous flow of innovations from participants who specialize in innovation through many other participants to the final consumers of computer-based services. Technical innovations often …
