Technology and Organization (RLE
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.
Invoking spirits in the material world
This article considers the recent upsurge of interest in workplace spirituality through an analysis of three cultural movements – late 19th-century spiritualism, early 20th-century surrealism, and late 20th-/early 21st-century ‘spirituality at work’.These movements share a common interest in harnessing the power of the human spirit in the transformation and ‘betterment’ of social life. It is argued that these movements have successively adopted a…
Towards neuroscientific management? Geometric chronophotography and the thin-slicing of the labouring body
The conventional history of the labour process suggests that Taylorism played a key role in the development and popularisation of production management techniques in general, and work science in particular. This paper argues that the work of Herman van Helmholtz, Edwaeard Muybridge, and Jules Etiennes Marey helped establish an ideology of the labouring body which not only pre-dated the work of Frederick Taylor, but which continues to influence ma…
Scents of Identity
This paper concerns sensations and how they are organised. More specifically, it is about the sense of smell and the social meanings we attribute to the generation and perception of odour. Although biologists and ethologists have studied olfaction in some depth, organisation theorists have given the phenomenon a wide berth, preferring to focus their attention on the visible world. However, this paper argues that smell has a significant bearing up…
Reconstructing human-centred technology
E‐mail, Power and the Constitution of Organisational Reality
To many observers, the introduction of electronic mail into a business organisation is an undramatic affair which is likely to have little impact beyond that on intra‐organisational communication. Using insights from actor‐network theory, this article demonstrates the more insidious and far‐reaching impact of electronic mail on organisational power relations, knowledge and employee behaviour
Celluloid Projections
This paper explores the posited role of technology in our organizational futures as portrayed in contemporary science fiction films. Whilst the dominant imagery of such films has much in common with the way new technology is portrayed in mainstream management and organization texts, it is argued that the latter have much to learn from the imaginative constructions of the developing relationship between technology and organization that is offered …
Crossing the Border
New technologies and work
Advanced manufacturing technology and work design
This paper introduces a theoretical framework to guide research into the psychological effects of advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) on shopfloor operators. The framework has two main aspects. First, based on the emerging literature on the job content implications of AMT, it identifies four key constructs, namely: control, cognitive demand, production responsibility and social interaction. Second, by drawing on the more established job desig…
Automate or innervate? The role of knowledge in advanced manufacturing systems
Technological coupling as a predictor Note of intrinsic job satisfaction
