Description

Artifacts in organizations are ubiquitous yet frequently overlooked in management theory and practice. This book from Routledge demonstrates that artifacts pervade every aspect of organizational life, from office decoration and language choices to business card design and the visual displays organisations use daily. Beyond these surface-level examples, artifacts manifest in organisational names, employee identities, products, buildings, processes, and contracts, each carrying symbolic weight and meaning. The work challenges the assumption that artifacts are merely superficial or limited to organisational culture studies, instead presenting them as fundamental to understanding how organisations function, communicate, and shape professional identity. This volume is part of the Organization and Management Series and appeals to scholars, managers, and students seeking deeper insight into the material and symbolic dimensions of organisational life.

Key Features

Explores how artifacts including office design, language, and business cards shape organisational behaviour and culture throughout the book.

Examines artifacts across multiple organisational contexts from employee names to buildings, processes, and contractual documents.

Part of Routledge's Organization and Management Series, providing academic rigour and scholarly perspective on organisational symbolism.

Challenges conventional thinking by demonstrating that artifacts extend far beyond superficial cultural elements to influence core organisational functions.

Addresses how organisations use artifacts to represent identity, values, and professional meaning to internal and external audiences.
