Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the concept of technology-as-text, based on a distinct variant within the perspective of the communicative constitution of organization (CCO). We apply this concept in a case study on the emergence of a new organizational form for IT governance within a state government. Our analysis illustrates the insights to be gained from the technology-as-text concept for the study of constitutive entanglement, specifically with respect to technology's role in the materialization of authority relationships that constitute organization.
