New Ways of Working: Organizations and Organizing in the Digital Age
Mapping themes in the study of new work practices
Both shaping and shaped by technological, economic and social facets, the world of work has witnessed a wide array of changes. This review article sets out to provide a synthesis of some of the main directions and insights of existing research connected to the new world of work. In particular, we approached the topic of new work practices through four key dimensions: (1) Conceptual and methodological dimensions in the study of new work practices;…
The post-Macy paradox, information management and organising: Good intentions and a road to hell
Between 1946 and 1953, leading scientists met in New York in the context of the so-called Macy conferences, often linked to the emergence of cybernetics. They hankered for a new vision of mind and society. The traumatism of WW2 was implicit but omnipresent, and the Cold War was beginning. Macy key tools and concepts about information, the value of information, and computer artefacts have finally produced a new world, in particular an organisation…
Materiality and Space
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

Post‐structuralism, Social Shaping of Technology, and Actor‐Network Theory: What Can They Bring to Is Research?
This article aims to address an omission in information system research concerning the debate in social science on postmodernism and post-structuralism. It outlines the fundamental arguments of this debate and draw attention to the relevant discussions and disputes. This provides a clear understanding of actor network theory (ANT) as it originates from post-structuralist debates in the field of science and technology studies (STS). It begins by s…
ICT Inclusion and Gender: Tensions in Narratives of Network Engineer Training
Government, major information and communications technology (ICT) companies, and educational institutions in the United Kingdom currently claim that ICT skills training offers inclusion into the new economy. We focus on a private–public training initiative and its impact on the socially excluded, specifically lone women parents. Narrative data from four United Kingdom educational sites participating in this computer network engineer training prog…
Women and ICT Training: Inclusion or Segregation in the New Economy?
With the digital revolution narrated as the means for social cohesion in the globally competitive national economy, policy and corporate moves are afoot to increase the inclusion of women into the ICT arena, particularly those who have traditionally remained on the fringes of societal inclusion such as lone women parents. By equipping them with ICT skills, such as network engineering, and utilizing their “soft” relational expertise, greater emplo…
Postmodernism and Criticality in Information Systems Research: What Critical Management Studies Can Contribute
This article identifies a gap in the inclusion of the postmodern concept in critical information systems (IS) research. Starting from the three critical tasks, insight, critique, and transformative definition, we argue that the second task of critique has been less commonly addressed. Filling that gap can begin by exploring how critical management studies have used both critical theory and postmodernism. The authors draw on Alvesson and Deetz’s (…
Trains, Planes and Computers: From High-Speed Trains to Computerised Reservation at French Railways
A link is made between the problematic introduction of a new computerised reservation system (CRS) at French Railways in 1993 and the high-speed train technological innovation, the TGV (Train a Grande Vitesse) successfully introduced in 1981. Both are about modernising railways and one interesting factor is that French Railways chose to purchase a computer system from American Airlines in 1989. The strategic role CRS played in the US airline indu…
An empirical study of Internet usage and difficulties among medical practice management in the UK
Considers the use of information technology in the UK National Health Service (NHS) as the government pledges to connect every doctor or general practitioner (GP) to the NHS’s information superhighway by the year 2002. This paper uses a case study of a particular UK health authority as a vehicle to illustrate the complexity of the social and technical considerations surrounding this issue. At a grass roots level, the adoption and diffusion of inf…
