Management, Technology and Organizing Practices (MATEO)

Management, Technology and Organizing Practices (MATEO) Technology has always been a major catalyst for organisational change. Not only organisational structures and processes, but also working conditions and employee relations often change dramatically due to technical disruptions. Research into the impact of new innovations and changed conditions is therefore critical if we are to better understand the rapid change many organizations and businesses undergo. Management, Technology and Organising Practices (MATEO), is a research programme at Stockholm Business School with the aim to design and conduct research that generates both theoretical and practical knowledge for dealing with these issues. We consequently have a portfolio of research projects exploring the intersection between work, technology, and organisation.

Research areas

In the scope of our research programme we are exploring how various technology, management, and institution induced changes lead to new ways of working and organizing. We study technologies and actions at micro levels in order to understand how innovations diffuse and migrate to macro levels.

The themes of our current projects include: (1) the advent of social media and the impact of social technologies on work and organisations, (2) the emergence of new business models and ideas, such as ‘open innovation’, knowledge-based models and strategies, and (3) the rise of new social, institutional, technological and cultural trends that shapes and is shaped by the so-called creative industries. Other research topics are related to innovation and change in and between organisations.

Collaborations

The national research school Management and IT (MIT) founded in 2001 is an affiliate partner. MIT has 14 partner universities in Sweden and the research is divided into economic information systems, business administration an informatics. More information >
