| Abstract: | This paper argues that successful integration of knowledge (here as: knw.) across work domains (as: w-doms.) in the short-term can mask the generation of long-term consequences. Explored is a setting, the introduction of environmental considerations into semiconductor manufacturing, where the eventual adoption of common measurement artifacts and associated practices enabled knw. integration etc. Based on observational, interview, and archival data, an understanding of the work practices of the Tech and EnviroTech groups as structured by the material world etc. is developed. The concept of knw. regime is introduced to outline the differences (as: diffs.) in knw. across these w-doms. It is found that diffs. in the causal specificity and developmental time horizon of knw. and the measurement artifacts that result contribute to the relative power of one knw. regime over another etc. |
