Abstract

Recalling a statement from the Call for Chapters at the origin of the present edited volume, contributors were invited to consider that one of the key obstacles standing in the way of a fuller integration between organization design (OD) and organization engineering (OE) was the relative neglect of the dynamics of the problem. What this means is that in much of both the OD and the OE literatures, the organization and its processes are treated as static entities that are represented by equally static models. This chapter is aimed at presenting a set of proposals that hopefully will open up the way to a new and integrated view of organi- zation design and engineering (ODE). A definition of ODE as the study of the socio-material entanglement of the design of organizations and the engineering of computer-based artifacts (Magalhàes and Silva, 2009) serves as my starting point.
