description: Actor-Network Theory (ANT) is rapidly making its mark as a practical, challenging and intriguing tool for studying organization. Its unique approach to connecting people, artifacts, institutions and organizations enables it to shed light on complexities that so far have escaped works in organization theory. In this book a number of European and American scholars apply ANT in the study of various aspects of organization, including technology, organizational change, routines, virtual organization, strategy, power, market mechanisms, consumer behaviour, public administration and knowledge management. Taken together, the chapters offer new and intriguing ways of organizational theorizing. The book is suitable for researchers and higher level students, and it serves as an excellent primer for those wanting to learning about ANT through the lens of organization theory.
