LeonardiCambridge, Massachusetts :MIT Press,c2012.[Piscataqay, New Jersey] :IEEE Xplore,[2012]1 online resource (345 p.)Acting with technologyDescription based upon print version of record.0-262-01784-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Perceptions of inevitability -- Toward a theory of sociomaterial imbrication -- Crashworthiness analysis at autoworks -- Developing problems and solving technologies -- Articulating visions of technology and organization -- Interpreting relationships between the social and the material -- Appropriating material features to change work -- Organizing as a process of sociomaterial imbrication.Every workday we wrestle with cumbersome and unintuitive technologies. Our response is usually "That's just the way it is." Even technology designers and workplace managers believe that certain technological changes are inevitable and that they will bring specific, unavoidable organizational changes. In this book, Paul Leonardi offers a new conceptual framework for understanding why technologies and organizations change as they do and why people think those changes had to occur as they did. He argues that technologies and the organizations in which they are developed and used are not separate entities; rather, they are made up of the same building blocks: social agency and material agency. Over time, social agency and material agency become imbricated--gradually interlocked--in ways that produce some changes we call "technological" and others we call "organizational." Drawing on a detailed field study of engineers at a U.S. auto company, Leonardi shows that as the engineers developed and used a a new computer-based simulation technology for automotive design, they chose to change how their work was organized, which then brought new changes to the technology.Each imbrication of the social and the material obscured the actors' previous choices, making the resulting technological and organizational structures appear as if they were inevitable. Leonardi suggests that treating organizing as a process of sociomaterial imbrication allows us to recognize and act on the flexibility of information technologies and to create more effective work organizations.Acting with technology.AutomobilesDesign and constructionData processingAutomobilesComputer simulationElectronic books.AutomobilesDesign and constructionData processing.AutomobilesComputer simulation.629.28/26Leonardi Paul M.1979-1055228CaBNVSLCaBNVSLCaBNVSLBOOK9910461970903321Car crashes without cars2488484UNINA05869nam 2200529 a 450 991078632960332120230803024732.00-429-25143-21-4398-7226-0(CKB)2670000000277861(StDuBDS)AH24367151(SSID)ssj0000756705(PQKBManifestationID)11463369(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000756705(PQKBWorkID)10753988(PQKB)11205767(MiAaPQ)EBC1048979(Au-PeEL)EBL1048979(CaPaEBR)ebr10614373(CaONFJC)MIL531274(OCoLC)899155021(EXLCZ)99267000000027786120120716d2013 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrRacial profiling[electronic resource] they stopped me because I'm [blank]! /Michael L. BirzerBoca Raton CRC Press20131 online resource (xxiii, 217 p.)Formerly CIP.Uk1-4398-7225-2 Includes bibliographical references.Stylin' n' profilin -- Putting racial profiling into context -- What about Congress, data collection, and the court? -- Phenomenology as method in racial profiling research -- Experiencing racial profiling -- Trusting the data -- Striking revelations -- Where do we go from here?.Citing cases involving over 100 racial and ethnic minority citizens, this book places into context the experience of racial profiling by examining each individual case and employing a rigorous qualitative phenomenological method to develop dominant themes and determine their associated meaning.Many racial minority communities claim profiling occurs frequently in their neighborhoods. Police authorities, for the most part, deny that they engage in racially biased police tactics. A handful of books have been published on the topic, but they tend to offer only anecdotal reports offering little reliable insight. Few use a qualitative methodological lens to provide the context of how minority citizens experience racial profiling. Racial Profiling: They Stopped Me Because I'm ---! places minority citizens who believe they have been racially profiled by police authorities at the center of the data. Using primary empirical studies and extensive, in-depth interviews, the book draws on nearly two years of field research into how minorities experience racial profiling by police authorities. The author interviewed more than 100 racial and ethnic minority citizens. Citing 87 of these cases, the book examines each individual case and employs a rigorous qualitative phenomenological method to develop dominant themes and determine their associated meaning. Through an exploration of these themes, we can learn: What racial profiling is, its historical context, and how formal legal codes and public policy generally define it The best methods of data collection and the advantages of collecting racial profiling data How certain challenges can prevent data collection from properly identifying racial profiling or bias-based policing practices Data analysis and methods of determining the validity of the data The impact of pretextual stops and the effect of Whren v. United States A compelling account of how minority citizens experience racial profiling and how they ascribe and give meaning to these experiences, the book provides a candid discussion of what the findings of the research mean for the police, racial minority citizens, and future racial profiling research.
