Using the concept of practice to study of organisation. Why and what for?
In this presentation Davide Nicolini will discuss why to use the concept of practice to study organisational phenomena, how this can be done, and what for. He will argue that practice theories can offer a radically new way of understanding and explaining social and organizational phenomena. He will build on his work in this area conducted over several years using examples drawn, albeit not exclusively, from some of his recent publications (Nicolini, 2009a; Nicolini 2009b; Nicolini 2011; Nicolini, Mengis and Swan, in press).
