Description

Observed through a temporal lens, organizational life fluctuates among moments of instantaneity, enduring continuity, and imagination of distant times.

This movement stems from the fact that actors are continually faced with multiple intersecting temporalities, obliging them to make choices about what to do in the present, how to understand the past they emerge from, and how to stake out a possible future.

Although scholars have widely recognized actors'multitemporal reality, it remains to be more fully theorized into an integrative framework.

In this book, Tor Hernes takes up this challenge by combining foundational ideas from philosophy, sociology, and organization theory into an integrative theoretical framework of organizational time.

Based on a review ofthe literature, his definition of time includes four dimensions: experience, events, resource, and practice.

He provides examples of how these four dimensions evolve through mutual interplay and how they are underpinned by what he calls narrative trajectory.

He then discusses implications for key topics in organizational research, including materiality, leadership and continuity and change. Organization and Time is for scholars and advanced students of organization studies, managementstudies, technology studies, and sociology.
