摘要

为大规模组织间合作开发新型边界基础设施提出了一个尚未得到充分理解的挑战:单个边界对象不足以满足大规模合作的需要,甚至可能引发冲突,那么如何才能将单个边界对象发展成为一个连贯的边界基础设施,从而促进跨越多个边界?在一项纵向研究中,我们调查了欧洲大科学组织和大企业组织合作的 "螺旋星云"(Helix Nebula)如何为科学研究开发云计算基础设施。我们的研究结果表明,这一过程涉及两个递归机制。边界对象的脚手架帮助组织迭代创建各种技术和组织对象,以支持彼此的发展。联盟的重新配置涉及组织不断重组为子群体,这使它们能够兼顾彼此的差异和共同需求。我们的研究为组织如何将边界对象发展成一个连贯的边界基础设施提供了一个过程模型,并揭示了脚手架和联盟的政治动态在大规模组织间合作中的推动作用。

From Boundary Objects to Boundary Infrastructure: A Process Study of Collaboration between Big Science and Big Business
The development of a novel boundary infrastructure for large‐scale interorganizational collaboration presents a challenge that is ill‐understood: how can individual boundary objects, which do not suffice for large‐scale collaboration and might even engender conflict, be developed into a coherent boundary infrastructure that facilitates the crossing of multiple boundaries? In a longitudinal study, we investigated how Helix Nebula – a collaboration among Europe's big science and big business organizations – developed a cloud computing infrastructure for scientific research. Our findings show that the process involves two recursive mechanisms. The scaffolding of boundary objects helps organizations to iteratively create various technical and organizational objects that support each other's development. The reconfiguring of coalitions involves organizations constantly rearranging into subgroups, which enables them to accommodate their differences and common needs. Our study contributes a process model of how organizations develop boundary objects into a coherent boundary infrastructure and shines light on the role of scaffolding and the political dynamics of coalitions as a driving force for large‐scale interorganizational collaboration.
