Inaugural lecture with Signe Vikkelsø
The making of 'Organization' as an Epistemic and Practical Object By Signe Vikkelsø (Professor with Special Responsibilities in Technologies of Organizational Analysis)
This inaugural lecture presents a research program that aims to understand the role of concepts, methods and models for the way ‘organization’ over time has been treated as an epistemic and practical object. It also seeks to relate changes in the repertoire of analytical tools and techniques in organization theory to deeper ruptures in the disciplinary field, its objects of study, and its practical and political dimensions.

The Making of ‘Organization’ as an Epistemic and Practical Object By Signe Vikkelsø
How is ‘organization’ – an intangible and intricate phenomenon – constituted as something that can be analyzed, discussed and acted upon? This inaugural lecture presents a research program that aims to understand the role of concepts, methods and models for the way ‘organization’ over time has been treated as an epistemic and practical object. It also seeks to relate changes in the repertoire of analytical tools and techniques in organization theory to deeper ruptures in the disciplinary field, its objects of study, and its practical and political dimensions.
The lecture presents three features of this research program. First, it presents an analytical framework for understanding and investigating scientific concepts and methods as elements of epistemic apparatuses through which particular facts and realities are produced. Second, it contrasts the methods and visualization techniques of classical organization theory with those of contemporary organization theory and points to significant changes over time. Third, it argues that these differences can be related to a changed role and outlook of organization theory, which has significant practical and political consequences.
