组织是我们构建世界的一般过程。这是一个超越社会秩序的过程,也涉及技术和自然领域。此外,这是一个涉及我们所有人的进程。一直都是。本文的研究重点是企业组织,更具体地说,是食品配送的组织。它是对ICA历史上形成性事件的研究,ICA是瑞典主要的食品分销商。该研究详细介绍了组成ICA的四个采购中心之一的Hakonbolaget的发展情况。首先,它说明了Hakonbolaget在20世纪40年代和50年代为建立现代合理的食品分配系统所做的努力。这些努力的重点是在三个方面进行合理化:批发仓库的内部运作、零售业务和批发-零售互动。顺便说一句,这些也是当时瑞典关于商品分销成本上升的公开辩论的中心主题。通过努力,Hakonbolaget实现了许多新的解决方案,并为现代食品分配建立了某种模式。从20世纪60年代到90年代,这一模式成为国际合作联盟内部运作的特征。在科学和技术的社会学工作的图纸,概念词汇的发展,分析组织的过程。这个词汇表明,组织可以被视为一个框架过程——作为定义和实现社会技术情况的尝试。这种情况固有的不稳定性使得稳定而不是变化成为令人困惑的观察结果。因此,变革进程应被视为稳定局势的努力。这种努力与度量的建立和表示的生成密切相关。除了组织的传统社会方面,词汇也引导人们关注我们周围的各种材料。
Organising is the general process by which we structure our world. It is a process that goes beyond social ordering by involving also the technical and the natural realms. Further, it is a process which involves us all. All the time. This dissertation focuses on the organising of business enterprise, more specifically, the organising of food distribution. It is study of formative events in the history of ICA, a major Swedish food distributor. The study provides a detailed account of the development of Hakonbolaget, one of four purchasing centres that formed ICA. Primarily, it accounts for Hakonbolaget´s efforts to establish a modern, rational food distribution system in the 1940s and 1950s. The thrust of these efforts was directed toward three areas of rationalisation: internal operations at the wholesale warehouses, retail operations, and wholesale-retail interaction. Incidentally, these were also central themes in the public debate about the growing costs of goods distribution in Sweden at the time. Through its efforts, Hakonbolaget realised a number of new solutions and established something of a model for modern food distribution. A model that came to characterise operation within ICA from the 1960s and well into the 1990s. Drawing on work within the sociology of science and technology, a conceptual vocabulary is developed for analysing the process of organising. This vocabulary suggests that organising can be regarded as a framing process – as attempts to define and realise sociotechnical situations. The inherent instability of such situations makes stability rather than change a puzzling observation. Consequently, change processes should be regarded as efforts to stabilise situations. Such efforts are closely linked to the establishment of metrics and the generation of representations. In addition to traditional social aspects of organising, the vocabulary also directs attention to the whole heterogeneous materials that surround us.
