| Tiivistelmä: | This paper aims to extend the understanding of the concept of translation (hereafter as: trl). It is examined how management ideas are rendered appropriate to a new setting through trl. from the broad policy level into a set of specific practices. To do this, it looks at how a proposal to introduce lean management into the construction industry was applied within a set of firms and the projects undertaken. In the context of large 'distance' btw. the original arenas of the idea and its new one, this paper uncovers how the editing rules guiding the process of trl. are operationalized using a set of change interventions. |
