Infos

This timely book explores how space emerges as people attempt to organize and reorganize their everyday activities. From the workplace to the internet, geographical districts to international development projects, it offers new insights on how created spaces enable further activities as the organizing process evolves. Expert contributors employ a poststructuralist perspective to look at the importance of agencing for understanding organizing within and among multifarious spaces. In turn this provides a means of explaining how organizing unfolds through combinations of spatio-material and agential practices. Extending this research by highlighting the agential dynamics of organizing in relation to space, this book unpacks the concept of agencing, before considering how relational approaches to space have influenced the idea of spatial agencing. Connecting the work of Michel Callon and Franck Cochoy, Space and Organizing joins a forward-thinking and ever-expanding body of research. As space and society are the result of diverse ongoing activities that enable further organizing to take place, the book concludes that we should abandon the idea of a given space that people inhabit and transform.This book offers a meaningful avenue to rethink how we interact with nature, distribute our activities, and organize our practices. Aimed at business and management researchers, PhD candidates and postgraduate students with a particular interest in organization studies and organizational behaviour, this book offers ways to engage with more positive routes of spatial agencing.
