Shifting Practices
"What happens in an established practice or work setting when a novel artifact or tool for doing work changes the familiar work routines? Any unexpected event, or change, or technological innovation creates a discontinuity; organizations and individuals must reframe taken-for-granted assumptions and practices and reposition themselves. To study innovation as a phenomenon, then, we must search for situations of discontinuity and rupture and explor…
Remediation of practices
Based on two ethnographic studies of technology-driven innovation in music education and judicial practice, in this paper I investigate the nature and meaning of mediation as a primary aspect of our way of experiencing and understanding reality. I explore what happens in an established domain of practice when the introduction of new technologies, such as the computer and video recording, requires practitioners to work with a new medium for carryi…

Identity, Institutions, and New Work Roles
In this article, the authors draw on institutional theories of organizations to account for the dynamics that shape workers' agency and identity during the construction and the operation of a green field automotive factory.

Extending an analytical framework developed by James March (1991), this paper tries to tackle these questions by examining the dilemma between the exploration of alternative institutional arrangements and the exploitation or refinement of current ones. Institution building is viewed as a problem of ada…
Perché È Difficile Costruire Le Istituzioni
IntroduzioneLa costruzione di un'istituzione, qualsiasi cosa possa significare, è comunque un processo che implica la formazione di una struttura, o codice, o pattern regolato di comportamenti che acquista legittimità e «funziona» in un contesto sociale specifico, fino a diventare un elemento costitutivo della vita sociale, stabile e persistente nel corso del tempo. Tale struttura può essere in parte il risultato di un progetto deliberato, in par…
