Materiality in Institutions: Spaces, Embodiment and Technology in Management and Organization

de Vaujany, François-Xavier; Adrot, Anouck; Boxenbaum, Eva; Leca, Bernard

This book aims at clarifying the role of materiality, spaces, digitality and embodiment in institutional dynamics from the perspective of Management & Organization Studies. Presenting a rich set of theoretical, methodological and epistemological advances on materiality and institutions, it also gives voice to distinctive and diverse perspectives on materiality in institutions, structuring chapters into four major topics: artefacts and objects, digitality and information, space and time, body and embodiment. This book sparks discussion and debate about ontological dimensions of Management & Organization Studies, including post-discursive, visual, phenomenological and material.

With a foreword by Professor Thomas B. Lawrence, Saïd Business School, University of Oxford.
