The Emergence of Routines
This book explains how things get organized and how routines emerge in businesses and business life. The chapters explore historical episodes in a wide variety of settings, and encourage a view of firm operations and development that is much more realistic, and much more practically helpful, than the standard economic perspective.
Manufacturing Rationality
Through careful analysis of contemporary records in the engineering profession, the author shows how management invented itself and carved its own domain in the face of hostility and resistance from both manufacturers and workers. The book demonstrates how the new language and rhetoric of management emerged, and how it confronted and replaced the language of traditional capitalism: "system" instead of "individuals"; "jobs" instead of "natural rights"; "planning" instead of "free initiatives".
A Nation Transformed by Information
This book makes the startling case that North Americans were getting on the "information highway" as early as the 1700's, and have been using it as a critical building block of their social, economic, and political world ever since. From the beginning North Americans were willing to invest in the infrastructure to make such connectivity possible. This book explores what the deployment of these technologies says about American society. The editors assembled a group of contributors who are experts in their particular fields and worked with them to create a book that is fully integrated and cross-referenced.
Control Through Communication
A superb historical analysis of the philosophical and technological forces that led to the development of communication genres and processes in the modern American corporation.
