Organisering kring hot och risk
- 2007
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Hur hanteras blödarfeberviruset Marburg, hur förbereder man sig för ett eventuellt utbrott av fågelinfluensan, hur kalkylerar man hälsorisker i Europa och Sverige och hur hanterar man risk i samband med äventyrsturism? Vad har stormen Gudrun lärt oss om att hantera akuta situationer och hur skapar katastrofer som Tjörnbron handlingsföreträde i form av särskilda förutsättningar för organisering? Detta är några exempel på studier inkluderade i Organisering kring hot och risk. Boken tittar även närmare på hur man hanterar effekter av datorkriser, hur konst och vad betraktaren bedömer som hot kan bidra till skapande av handlingsnät samt hur tv-serien Kommissionen belyser det svenska beredningsarbetet. Författarna visar att karaktären av organisering kring hot och risk är beroende av tidpunkten: innan, under eller efter en katastrof eller en hotfull händelse. Beredningsarbetet består av resursmobilisering, att skissa planer, att bygga upp strukturer samt bygga eller mobilisera nätverk. När katastrofen väl inträffar visar det sig dock att även de bästa planer inte alltid fungerar som man vill och responsen på de faktiska händelserna består av improvisation samt av att bygga handlingskedjor och handlingsnät. Det finns inget recept på hur man skall organisera kring hot och risk men boken har identifierat ett återkommande problem: varje misslyckande verkar leda till slutsatsen att det behövs mer av planer och strukturer. Författarna hävdar motsatsen. Bokens budskap är att istället för att skapa oändliga planer och strukturer skall man öva lämpliga skickligheter och improvisationsförmåga. Boken vänder sig till studerande inom organisationsteori respektive riskhantering på universitet och högskola samt yrkesverksamma inom krisberedskap och riskhantering.

Managing overflow in affluent societies
- 2012
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- “It is simply too much” is a common complaint of the modern age. This book looks at how people and institutions deal with overflow - of information, consumption or choices. The essays explore the ways in which notions of overflow – framed in terms of excess and abundance or their implicit opposites, scarcity and dearth – crop up in a number of contexts such as sociological and economic theory, management consulting, consumer studies, and the politics of everyday life. Chapters range from studies of overload at home, at work or in the world of cyber information; strategies of coping with overflow in institutions such as news agencies; and historical comparisons. When, where, how and for whom is overflow a problem or a blessing?

A Research Agenda for Management and Organization Studies
- 2016
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Managing and organizing are now central phenomena in contemporary societies. It is essential they are studied from a variety of perspectives, and with equal attention paid to their past, their present, and their future. This book collects opinions of the trailblazing scholars concerning the most important research topics, essential for study in the next 15–20 years. The opinions concern both traditional functions, such as accounting and marketing, personnel management and strategy, technology and communication, but also new challenges, such as diversity, equality, waste and cultural encounters. The collection is intended to be inspiration for young scholars and an invitation to a dialogue with practitioners.

Actor-Network Theory and Organizing
- 2005
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Actor Network Theory and Organizing Actor-Network Theory (ANT) is rapidly making its mark as a practical, challenging and intriguing tool for studying organization. Its unique approach to connecting people, artifacts, institutions and organizations enables it to shed light on complexities that so far have escaped works in organization theory. In this book a number of European and American scholars apply ANT in the study of various aspects of organization, including technology, organizational change, routines, virtual organization, strategy, power, market mechanisms, consumer behaviour, public administration and knowledge management. Taken together, the chapters offer new and intriguing ways of organizational theorizing. The book is suitable for researchers and higher-level students, and it serves as an excellent primer for those wanting to learning about ANT through the lens of organization theory.

Coping with excess: How organizations, communities and individuals manage overflows
- 2014
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- What does a stockbroker in Istanbul navigating the rush of incoming trading figures have in common with a mother in Stockholm trying to organize a growing pile of baby clothes? They are both coping with excess or overflow. This book explores the ways in which institutions, corporations and individuals define and manage situations of 'too much' - too much information, too many choices, too many commodities or too many tasks. By analyzing a wide range of settings - from corporate firms and public administration to everyday domestic routines - the book offers an in-depth understanding of the complexities of overflow phenomena. It questions when, where and why overlow emerges and for whom this is a problem or a blessing. This broad introduction to a striking contemporary phenomenon will prove an enlightening read for a wide-ranging audience including academics and researchers in the disciplines of business and management, political science, economic history and sociology.

Action nets for waste prevention
- 2014
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Although waste prevention is considered the best possible option in the European waste-hierarchy model, it is not always clear what is meant by “waste prevention”. This chapter presents three cases of waste prevention, selected to illustrate the variety of these practices: a waste-management company selling waste-prevention services, the opportunity for Swedish householders to opt out of unaddressed promotional material, and a car-sharing program. The analysis is informed by an action net perspective, focusing on the way organizing comprises connecting actions, often prior to or in conflict with networking among actors. Through each of these examples, we demonstrate how waste prevention depends on specific physical artifacts and infrastructures and is the result of specific ways of connecting actions. In conclusion, we emphasize that waste prevention rests on the emergence of new modes and patterns of interactions that both build and disrupt the existing institutional order of consumption. We also stress that waste prevention as it is discussed in this chapter is not a step forward in the European waste hierarchy but constitutes a break with the traditional notion of waste management.
