Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Hardcover. Standards have become widespread regulatory tools that are set to promote global trade, innovation, efficiency, and quality. They contribute significantly to the creation of safe, reliable, and high quality services and technologies to ensure human health, environmental protection, or information security. Yet intentional deviations from standards by organizations are often reported in many sectors, which can either contribute to or challenge the measures of safetyand quality they are designed to safeguard.Why then, despite all potential consequences, do organizations choose to deviate from standards in one way or another? This book usesstructuration theory - covering aspects of both structure and agency - to explore the organizational conditions and contradictions under which different types of deviance occur. It provides empirical explanations for deviance in organizations that go beyond an understanding of individual misbehaviour where mainly a single person is held responsible. Case studies of software-developing organizations illustrate insightful generalizations on standards as a mechanism of sensemaking, resourceallocation, and sanctioning, and provide ground to re-think corporate responsibility when deviating from standards in the 'audit society'. This book sheds light on the increasing pressure on organizations for compliance to standards in the 'audit society'. It explores the conditions and contradictions under which deviance in organizations occurs, and applies structuration theory to cover aspects of both structure and agency to explain organisational deviance from standards.
