When a perceptual order is turned into a conceptual order a disjunction between continuity and discontinuity is created. Sensemaking to manage this disjunction often consists of attributions of typicality formed intuitively or through deliberation. The details lost during this process can lead to further breakdowns. This process of “arrested sensemaking” is illustrated with a disaster at sea when a 790-foot container ship, the El Faro, sailed into the eye of a category 3 hurricane and capsized. All 33 crew members perished. The prevailing sense was that the rough seas were a “typical” storm, arresting sensemaking in the face of a looming disaster.
当一种知觉秩序转变为一种概念秩序时,连续性和非连续性之间的脱节就产生了。处理这种分离的意义构建通常包括直观地或通过深思熟虑形成的典型性归因。在此过程中丢失的细节可能导致进一步的故障。这种“被逮捕的意义制造”过程可以用一场海上灾难来说明,当时一艘790英尺长的集装箱船埃尔法罗号(El Faro)驶入三级飓风眼并倾覆。33名机组人员全部遇难。人们普遍认为,波涛汹涌的海面是一场“典型的”风暴,在即将来临的灾难面前,阻止人们胡言乱语。

When Practices Control Practitioners: Integrating self-reinforcing dynamics into practice-based accounts of managing and organizing 当实践控制实践者:将自我强化的动态整合到基于实践的管理和组织账户中

Practice theories inform much of current organization and management research by focusing on social practices “in vivo and in situ,” helping us understand how they are produced, reproduced, connected, and eventually transformed by practitioners. Despite the explicit focus of these theories on process, some important dynamics within and across organizations remain undertheorized. This is particularly true for self-reinforcing processes like escalating commitment or path dependence. While such dynamics have been studied quite extensively with the help of other theories, this work often lacks a clear relation or relevance to lived life in organizations. This paper offers an integration of self-reinforcing dynamics into practice-based theorizing, and thereby outlines a new way of understanding self-reinforcement “in vivo and in situ.” By discussing the role and relevance of specific performative linkages as being “weak signals” for self-reinforcement, we provide a new way of analysing this important process phenomenon that is closer to life lived forward, where outcomes are necessarily uncertain, and practitioners can always choose to act differently.
实践理论通过关注“体内和原位”的社会实践,为当前的组织和管理研究提供了很多信息,帮助我们理解它们是如何被实践者产生、复制、联系并最终转化的。尽管这些理论明确地关注于过程,但是组织内部和跨组织的一些重要动态仍然没有被理论化。对于自我强化的过程,如不断升级的承诺或路径依赖,尤其如此。虽然在其他理论的帮助下,这种动态已经得到了相当广泛的研究,但这种工作往往与组织中的实际生活缺乏明确的关系或相关性。本文将自我强化动力学整合到基于实践的理论中,从而概述了一种理解“体内和原位”自我强化的新方法。通过讨论作为自我强化“弱信号”的特定行为联系的作用和相关性,我们提供了一种新的方法来分析这一重要的过程现象,这种现象更接近于生活的未来,其中结果必然是不确定的,从业者总是可以选择不同的行动。

Must I Grow a Pair of Balls to Theorize about Theory in Organization and Management Studies? 我必须长出一副蛋蛋来把组织管理学理论理论化吗?

This essay is a provocation to debate. I argue that work in organization and management studies addressing how to theorize and construct ‘good’ theory is inherently masculinized and embraces a limited pluralism that ignores alternative, reflexive and more human ways of theorizing. As I will illustrate, most of the articles on the topic of theorizing about theory are written by men, and espouse forms of theorizing that are based on a masculinized rationality that privileges abstraction, a logic of objectivity and proceduralization. And while journal editors espouse theoretical pluralism, we are often exhorted to develop ‘theoretical balls’ by conforming to limited definitions of theory that privilege particular ways of knowing and theorizing which are considered imperative to getting published. I argue that there are other equally compelling ways of ‘theorizing’ that focus on who we are as human beings and how we experience self, life and work. I begin with a critique of the literature on theorizing theory, moving on to argue that this currently limits theorizing more humanly and imaginatively, due to ontological blindness, epistemological defensiveness, hegemonic masculinity and myopic self-referentiality. Finally, I offer alternative ways of theorizing and interpreting theory from a more human and reflexive perspective.
这篇文章引起了辩论。我认为,在组织和管理研究中,解决如何理论化和构建“好”理论的工作本质上是男性化的,并且包含了一种有限的多元主义,忽视了替代的、反思性的和更人性化的理论化方式。正如我将说明的那样,大多数关于理论理论化主题的文章都是由男性撰写的,并且支持基于男性化理性的理论化形式,这种理性赋予抽象特权,一种客观性和程序化的逻辑。虽然期刊编辑支持理论多元化,但我们经常被告诫要发展“理论球”,遵循有限的理论定义,赋予特定的认识和理论化方式,这些方式被认为是发表论文的必要条件。我认为,还有其他同样引人注目的“理论化”方式,这些方式关注我们作为人类是谁,以及我们如何体验自我、生活和工作。我首先对理论化理论的文献进行了批判,接着争辩说,由于本体论的盲目性、认识论的防御性、霸权的男子气概和短视的自我参照性,这目前限制了更人性化和富有想象力的理论化。最后,我提供了另一种方法,从更人性化和反思的角度来理论化和解释理论。

Sartre’s Lost Organization Theory: Reading the Critique of Dialectical Reason Today 萨特的失落组织理论:解读《辩证理性批判》的今天

Jean-Paul Sartre’s enormous and often difficult Critique of Dialectical Reason (1960/2004) has largely been forgotten today. But the concepts it contains are worth reconsidering, particularly from an organization theory perspective. The book offers novel explanations of organizations, groups, institutions, power, resistance and technology that remain eminently relevant. I argue that a compelling and fruitful organization theory lurks in the Critique of Dialectical Reason with respect to (at least) three key topics: power/resistance, management hierarchies and technology. I outline the contours of this Sartrean organization theory and present implications and avenues for future inquiry.
让-保罗·萨特(Jean-Paul Sartre)的巨著《辩证理性批判》(1960/2004)在今天基本上已经被遗忘了。但它所包含的概念值得重新思考,特别是从组织理论的角度来看。这本书对组织、团体、制度、权力、抵抗和技术提供了新颖的解释,这些解释仍然非常重要。我认为,在《辩证理性批判》中潜藏着一个引人注目且富有成效的组织理论,它涉及(至少)三个关键主题:权力/抵抗、管理等级和技术。我概述了萨特组织理论的轮廓,并提出了未来研究的意义和途径。

Institutional Logics and Functionalist Differentiation Theory: Challenges and pathways forward 制度逻辑和功能主义分化理论:挑战与前进路径

As a theoretical framework in organization studies, institutional logics is immensely popular. It has been used in a large amount of highly contributory and enlightening empirical studies, and developed far beyond its original formulation in a classical paper by Friedland and Alford (1991). In our paper, we identify three key theoretical problems that have emerged in the development and use of institutional logics theory in the past three decades: the lack of uniformity and coherence in the definitions and empirical identifications of logics; the tendency of institutional logics theorists to attempt to build grand theory to connect micro, meso, and macro levels of analysis; and the difficulties to explain how institutional logics are reproduced and how institutional logics interrelate and evolve over time. To address these issues, we highlight the similarities between institutional logics theory and classical functionalist differentiation theory, drawing its legacy from Max Weber, Talcott Parsons, and Robert Merton, and propose its use as a resource in further theoretical development. The aim of the paper is not to reject institutional logics theory, or merely to point out its weaknesses, but to demonstrate how a revival of some classics in sociological theory can be used to sharpen institutional logics as an analytical tool and thus assist in efforts to further improve the usefulness of institutional logics as a theoretical framework in organization studies.
制度逻辑作为组织研究的理论框架,受到了广泛的关注。它已被用于大量具有高度贡献和启发性的实证研究中,并且远远超出了弗里德兰和阿尔福德(1991)的经典论文中的原始公式。在本文中,我们指出了过去三十年来在制度逻辑理论的发展和应用中出现的三个关键理论问题:逻辑的定义和经验认同缺乏统一性和连贯性;制度逻辑理论家试图建立宏大的理论来连接微观、中观和宏观层面的分析;以及解释制度逻辑如何再现以及制度逻辑如何相互关联并随时间演变的困难。为了解决这些问题,我们强调制度逻辑理论与经典功能主义分化理论之间的相似之处,从马克斯·韦伯、塔尔科特·帕森斯和罗伯特·默顿那里汲取其遗产,并建议将其作为进一步理论发展的资源。本文的目的不是拒绝制度逻辑理论,或者仅仅是指出它的弱点,而是证明如何利用社会学理论中一些经典的复兴来锐化制度逻辑作为分析工具,从而有助于进一步提高制度逻辑作为组织研究理论框架的实用性。

Theorizing the Economy of Traces: From Audit Society to Surveillance Capitalism 痕迹经济理论化:从审计社会到监督资本主义

This essay is a conversation between Shoshana Zuboff’s theory of surveillance capitalism, Mikkel Flyverbom’s conceptualization of the hyper-visibility afforded by digital architectures, and my own ‘analog’ theory of accounting dynamics in the ‘audit society’. Drawing upon trends in accounting practice and research I develop a number of inflection points which define theoretical tensions between the concepts of audit society and surveillance capitalism. These tensions suggest that theoretical innovation is required in the face of: the accelerating constitution of organizations by platforms and their processes – ‘platformization’; the constitution of human agents as data-driven subjects of these data architectures – ‘cyborgization’; and the reconstruction of the social sciences by a pervasive data positivism in which accounting becomes ‘accountics’. The exploration of these three inflection points reveals the deep operational logic of surveillance capitalism as an ‘economy of traces’ and traceability. Zuboff’s challenge of a political dystopia governed by technology giants and Flyverbom’s image of a society ‘overlit’ by digital architectures necessitate a re-specification of the audit society dynamics that I have previously theorized. The re-specification that I propose in this essay is a form of a critical ‘traceology’ which takes as its focus the ongoing production of all manner of traces and how they make up organizations, people and forms of knowledge.
这篇文章是对Shoshana Zuboff的监督资本主义理论,Mikkel Flyverbom的数字架构提供的超可见性概念化,以及我自己在“审计社会”中会计动态的“模拟”理论之间的对话。根据会计实践和研究的趋势,我提出了一些拐点,这些拐点定义了审计社会和监督资本主义概念之间的理论紧张关系。这些紧张关系表明,面对以下问题,理论创新是必要的:平台及其过程加速构成组织——“平台化”;人类代理作为这些数据架构的数据驱动主体的构成——“网络化”;通过普遍的数据实证主义对社会科学的重建,会计变成了“会计学”。对这三个拐点的探索揭示了监控资本主义作为一种“痕迹经济”和可追溯性的深层运作逻辑。Zuboff对由科技巨头统治的政治反乌托邦的挑战,以及Flyverbom对被数字架构“遮蔽”的社会的形象,都需要对我之前理论化的审计社会动态进行重新规范。我在这篇文章中提出的重新规范是一种批判的“痕迹学”形式,它将所有形式的痕迹的持续生产以及它们如何构成组织,人员和知识形式作为其重点。

Surveillance Capitalism or Democracy? The Death Match of Institutional Orders and the Politics of Knowledge in Our Information Civilization 监控资本主义还是民主?信息文明中的制度秩序与知识政治的死战

Surveillance capitalism is what happened when US democracy stood down. Two decades later, it fails any reasonable test of responsible global stewardship of digital information and communications. The abdication of the world’s information spaces to surveillance capitalism has become the meta-crisis of every republic because it obstructs solutions to all other crises. The surveillance capitalist giants–Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, and their ecosystems–now constitute a sweeping political-economic institutional order that exerts oligopolistic control over most digital information and communication spaces, systems, and processes. The commodification of human behavior operationalized in the secret massive-scale extraction of human-generated data is the foundation of surveillance capitalism’s two-decade arc of institutional development. However, when revenue derives from commodification of the human, the classic economic equation is scrambled. Imperative economic operations entail accretions of governance functions and impose substantial social harms. Concentration of economic power produces collateral concentrations of governance and social powers. Oligopoly in the economic realm shades into oligarchy in the societal realm. Society’s ability to respond to these developments is thwarted by category errors. Governance incursions and social harms such as control over AI or rampant disinformation are too frequently seen as distinct crises and siloed, each with its own specialists and prescriptions, rather than understood as organic effects of causal economic operations. In contrast, this paper explores surveillance capitalism as a unified field of institutional development. Its four already visible stages of development are examined through a two-decade lens on expanding economic operations and their societal effects, including extraction and the wholesale destruction of privacy, the consequences of blindness-by-design in human-to-human communications, the rise of AI dominance and epistemic inequality, novel achievements in remote behavioral actuation such as the Trump 2016 campaign, and Apple-Google’s leverage of digital infrastructure control to subjugate democratic governments desperate to fight a pandemic. Structurally, each stage creates the conditions and constructs the scaffolding for the next, and each builds on what went before. Substantively, each stage is characterized by three vectors of accomplishment: novel economic operations, governance carve-outs, and fresh social harms. These three dimensions weave together across time in a unified architecture of institutional development. Later-stage harms are revealed as effects of the foundational-stage economic operations required for commodification of the human. Surveillance capitalism’s development is understood in the context of a larger contest with the democratic order—the only competing institutional order that poses an existential threat. The democratic order retains the legiti
监视资本主义是美国民主制度退出时发生的事情。二十年后,它未能通过对数字信息和通信负责任的全球管理的任何合理测试。将世界信息空间拱手让给监视资本主义,已成为每个共和国的元危机,因为它阻碍了所有其他危机的解决。监控资本主义巨头——谷歌、苹果、Facebook、亚马逊、微软和它们的生态系统——现在构成了一种席卷全球的政治经济制度秩序,对大多数数字信息和通信空间、系统和过程施加寡头垄断控制。在秘密大规模提取人类生成的数据中,人类行为的商品化是监控资本主义二十年制度发展的基础。然而,当收入来自人的商品化时,经典的经济方程式就被打乱了。命令性经济运行增加了治理功能,造成了巨大的社会危害。经济权力的集中导致治理和社会权力的附带集中。经济领域的寡头垄断逐渐演变为社会领域的寡头统治。社会对这些发展作出反应的能力受到类别错误的阻碍。治理入侵和社会危害,如对人工智能的控制或猖獗的虚假信息,往往被视为不同的危机和孤立的危机,每个危机都有自己的专家和处方,而不是被理解为因果经济运行的有机影响。相比之下,本文将监控资本主义作为一个统一的制度发展领域进行探讨。通过20年来不断扩大的经济运作及其社会影响来审视人工智能的四个已经可见的发展阶段,包括对隐私的提取和大规模破坏、人与人之间沟通中设计盲目性的后果、人工智能主导地位的崛起和认知不平等、远程行为驱动方面的新成就,比如特朗普2016年的竞选活动、以及苹果和谷歌利用数字基础设施控制来征服渴望抗击流行病的民主政府。从结构上讲,每个阶段都为下一个阶段创造条件并搭建脚手架,每个阶段都以前一个阶段为基础。从本质上讲,每个阶段都以三个成就载体为特征:新的经济运作、治理剥离和新的社会危害。这三个维度在制度发展的统一架构中交织在一起。后期危害表现为人类商品化所必需的基础阶段经济运作的影响。监控资本主义的发展是在与民主秩序的更大竞争的背景下理解的——民主秩序是唯一构成生存威胁的竞争性制度秩序。民主秩序保留了反驳、中断和废除监视资本主义基本运作的合法权力。它的独特优势包括激励行动的能力,以及制定、实施和执行法治的必要权力。虽然自由民主国家已经开始应对监管当今私人拥有的信息空间的挑战,但我认为,对制度化进程的监管对民主社会来说是天生的灾难,无法产生预期的结果。统一场域视角表明,旨在消除后期危害(如“虚假信息”)的有效民主矛盾,依赖于对早期经济运作的废除和重新发明,这些经济运作使人类商品化,这是这些危害的来源。制度秩序的冲突是数字世纪知识政治的一场死亡竞赛。监视资本主义的反民主经济必要性产生了一种零和动态,在这种动态中,监视资本主义的深化秩序传播了民主的无序和去制度化。如果没有新的公共机构、权利宪章和专门为民主数字世纪而建立的法律框架,公民就会赤身裸体,很容易成为所有窃取和利用人类数据的人的猎物。在这些相互竞争的秩序中,只有一种会以统治的权威和力量出现,而另一种则会逐渐走向去制度化,其功能被胜利者所吸收。这些矛盾最终会击败监视资本主义,还是民主会遭受更大的伤害?监控资本主义是可能的,民主也是可能的。两者不可能兼得。

Structurally, each stage creates the conditions and constructs the scaffolding for the next, and each builds on what went before. Substantively, each stage is characterized by three vectors of accomplishment: novel economic operations, governance carve-outs, and fresh social harms. These three dimensions weave together across time in a unified architecture of institutional development. Later-stage harms are revealed as effects of the foundational-stage economic operations required for commodification of the human. Surveillance capitalism’s development is understood in the context of a larger contest with the democratic order—the only competing institutional order that poses an existential threat. The democratic order retains the legiti","PeriodicalId":50648,"journal":{"name":"Computational and Mathematical Organization Theory","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80870194","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
