Description
Contains an Open Access chapter.
As organizations become increasingly distributed and diverse, and products, technologies and services more complex and dispersed, there is mounting pressure to understand how work can be coordinated across geographical, cultural and intellectual distance, both within and across organizations. As a result, questions arise about how work is accomplished through organizational practices and routines and in particular how patterns of actions are replicated and transformed across different contexts and over time. Routine dynamics has started to explore these dynamics by focusing attention on how routines (as practices) are enacted and, thus, created and re-created over time and across organizational locations through the actions of people and machines.
This book explores central themes in the enactment and coordination of organizational routines, drawing in particular on in-depth case studies and empirically-grounded theorizing. The chapters explore important organizational phenomena in the areas of strategy, entrepreneurship, human resources, health care, social policy, and the arts. Focusing in particular on four central themes in routine dynamics: replication and transfer; ecology and interdependence; action and the generation of novelty and technology and sociomateriality.

Reviews / Votes
Contributors working in various business specialties in Europe, North America, and Australia present nine chapters that consider how routine dynamics impact organizations in terms of strategy, entrepreneurship, human resources, health care, social policy, and the arts. They focus on the themes of replication and transfer of routines, such as the replication of routines during the remounting of a ballet, routine replication to support innovation and new venture creation, and complex transfer of multiple interrelated routines from a European to an Asian company; interdependence between routines, including the role of performative boundaries and the use of deceit to drive routine in sex trafficking; the role of action in the generation of novelty, including how the strategizing routines of senior managers enable the entrepreneurial agility of corporations and the generativity of actions in the context of a new human resource policy aimed at hiring disadvantaged workers; and technology and sociomateriality, particularly the introduction of bariatric robotic surgery to transform laparoscopic routines and how routine participants enact relational expertise through joint action in technology-mediated service settings like telehealth. -- Annotation (c)2019 * (protoview.com) *More details
