| Abstract: | In this paper the author outlines a perspective on organizational transformation which proposes change as endemic to the practice of organizing and hence as enacted through the situated practices of organizational actors as they improvise, innovate, and adjust their work routines over time. The author grounds this perspective in an empirical study which examined the use of a new information technology within one organization over a two-year period. The findings provide the empirical basis for a practice-based perspective on organizational transformation. |
