Dear colleagues, We'd like to invite you to our panel symposium: "Studying the Designers Behind Technologies of Coordination and Control" at this year's AOM. We will discuss interactively how we can advance the research agenda on how technology designers and design processes shape the transformative effects of novel technologies on organizations, markets, and work.
Panel Symposium #2009: Studying the Designers Behind Technologies
of Coordination and Control: Scholars Discuss an Emergent Research Agenda (19313)
Tuesday, August 13, 2024, 09:45 – 11:15 CT (GMT-5/UTC-5) at Sheraton: Jackson Park
Sponsored by CTO and TIM divisions

"The implications of a new technology are not always the product of ongoing action and interpretation at the point where people are using technologies. Rather, those who design and promulgate technologies have visions of what work is and what it should be like [...] Such visions shape the outcomes of technological change." (Bailey and Barley, 2020, p. 2)
Abstract
The panel brings together scholars of technology, innovation, and organization to discuss the emergent research agenda on the design processes behind technologies of coordination and control, such as digital platforms, big data analytics, and AI. Following recent calls by Bailey, Barley, Orlikowski, and others, five panelists will discuss why a focus on agendas, ideologies, and power-relations of designers as well as the organizational structure of design processes is critical to understand the impact of these technologies on organizations, markets, and work more generally. Drawing on empirical case studies of technology design, the panelists will discuss on how to think about the interplay between design and use of coordination and control technologies, how to solve data and access problems, and what are the salient theoretical issues for research on technology, work, and organizations.
