Theme: Ecologies of Organizational Routines – Enacting Interdependencies and their Consequences
Date: Monday, Aug, 8 2016 3:00PM to 4:30PM
Location: Anaheim Marriott, Platinum Ballroom 3
Sponsors: OMT, SAP, ODC
Session #: 1353
Organizational routines work together in bundles, clusters, networks or ecologies to achieve particular organizational outcomes. As routines research has moved from viewing routines as entities that accomplish a task to routines as parts with internal dynamics, recent research is starting to look at the connections between several routines. In this symposium, we aim to take the next step in understanding routine ecologies by focusing on how the connections between routines enable organizational outcomes. The symposium is deliberately explorative and speculative in nature, raising questions rather than providing answers. We have brought together four empirical studies from diverse settings that examine how the connections between routines give rise to (1) quality (Katharina Dittrich, Martha Feldman & David Seidl), (2) a new solution to help sex workers get of the streets (Jeannette Eberhard, Claus Rerup & Ann Frost), (3) a working time regime (Blagoy Blagoev & Waldemar Kremser) and (4) the evolution of a strategic vision (Sébastien Picard & Kathrin Sele). In the symposium, we will uncover different ways of connecting routines and how these different dynamics give rise to different outcomes. Jennifer Howard-Grenville will provide a reaction to the presentations, opening up the floor for further discussion. Please join us in developing new directions for thinking about routine ecologies and the outcomes they accomplish.
