The sociomateriality of organisational life: considering technology in management research (2010, background): “Recently, a fourth perspective on technology — that of entanglement in practice — has attracted interest within management research, largely influenced by longer-standing developments in sociology and science and technology studies (Latour, 2005; Suchman, 2007).”
Reconfiguring Boundary Relations: Robotic Innovations in Pharmacy Work (2012, background): “A secondary case was made for the robot helping to recruit good pharmacy staff by promoting the image of a modern, technologically advanced department. issued medications prescribed for specified patients.”
Practice as the Site of Knowing: Insights from the Field of Telemedicine (2011, background): “The knowing in practice captured by the idea of site is thus highly situated (Suchman 2007) so that when any of the existing practical conditions change so does the local regime of knowledgeability.”
Computing in Everyday Life: A Call for Research on Experiential Computing (2010, background): “First, the existing body of sociomateriality literature is primarily concerned with the human–artifact reconfiguration in organizational settings (Orlikowski 2007; Orlikowski and Scott 2008; Suchman 2007).”
Understanding Relations of Individual—Collective Learning in Work: A Review of Research (2008, background): “Issues of agency in the individual–collective relationship perhaps deserve more particular exploration, as Suchman (2007) shows in her examinations of work activity: How and where is agency produced?, she asks.”
The ‘performativity thesis’ and its critics: Towards a relational ontology of management accounting (2014, background): “…sense that it brings a re-presentationalist mode of accounting and accountability into life, thus obscuring the status of RBA ‘as itself a form of culturally and historically situated activity, manifested in specific practices and associated artifacts’ (Suchman 2007, p. 187, Keevers et al. 2012).”
Materiality and change: Challenges to building better theory about technology and organizing (2008, background): “Partially because scholars have spent nearly 30 years battling the tenants of technological determinism, the role of materiality in organizational change remains understudied (Orlikowski, 2007; Suchman, 2007).”
Matters of care in technoscience: Assembling neglected things (2011, background): “We want to be surprised by our machine servants, in sum, but not displeased’ (Suchman, 2007: 217–20).”
Designing eco-feedback systems for everyday life (2011, background): “Such strategies are premised on the theory of rational choice, which emerges from the view (familiar to HCI researchers) that human action is determined by purposive plans [46].”
