How are they transformed and adapted to new situations? In the digital age and in the global network society, traditional theories of the organization can no longer answer these questions. Based on actor-network theory, this book explains organizations as flexible, open networks in which both human and non-human actors enter into socio-technical assemblies by constantly negotiating and re-negotiating programs of action. Organizations are not macro social structures or autonomous systems operating behind the backs of individuals. Instead, they are scalable actor-networks guided by network norms of connectivity, flow, communication, participation, authenticity, and flexibility.Sot͡siologii͡a (Sochinskiĭ nauchno-issledovatelʹskiĭ t͡sentr)Belliger/Krieger, Organizing NetworksAn Actor-Network Theory of OrganizationsOrganization TheoryActor-Network TheoryDigital TransformationNetwork SocietyNetworked OrganizationNetworked ManagementSocial TheoryEconomySocial RelationsSocietySociology of OrganizationsSociological TheoryMedia TheorySociologyOrganization TheoryActor-Network TheoryDigital TransformationNetwork SocietyNetworked OrganizationNetworked ManagementSocial TheoryEconomySocial RelationsSocietySociology of OrganizationsSociological TheoryMedia TheorySociology302.23AP 13550rvkBelliger Andréa<p>Andréa Belliger, Institut für Kommunikation & Führung, Schweiz</p>aut1205557Krieger David J<p>David J.
