The sociomateriality of organisational life: considering technology in management research
回顾过去五十年管理学者处理技术问题的主要方式，指出物质性被忽视或通过分离本体论研究，无法解释社会与物质在日常生活中的纠缠，最后提出替代视角以帮助学者理解当代组织的复杂社会物质配置。
Drawing on a specific scenario from a contemporary workplace, I review some of the dominant ways that management scholars have addressed technology over the past five decades. I will demonstrate that while materiality is an integral aspect of organisational activity, it has either been ignored by management research or investigated through an ontology of separateness that cannot account for the multiple and dynamic ways in which the social and the material are constitutively entangled in everyday life. I will end by pointing to some possible alternative perspectives that may have the potential to help management scholars take seriously the distributed and complex sociomaterial configurations that form and perform contemporary organisations.
