Adrienne Baer and Amanda Pratt discuss Tech+Org Design at AOM

PhD Candidates Baer and Pratt organized an AOM session exploring the interplay between tech design and org design.

Their proposal argued: “In light of the ever-increasing digitalization of work, it may be time to revisit organizational structures. As panelist Jerry Davis said, “We have turned the tasks of organization design and management over to programmers” (2016, p. 511). Digital technologies now underpin the very fabric of the workplace; how tasks are assigned, bundled, and monitored partially hinges on the design of such technologies. Thus, it is paramount that scholars examine the technology design choices that inform the structuring of organizations.” Congratulations on the successful panel!
