Organisation, Interaction and Practice

Review of the hardback: 'This volume demonstrates the thousands of 'small ways' and 'artful practices' through which people recognise and reproduce the organisational location of their actions. It offers a rich panorama of ethnomethodologically informed studies of ordinary work and in so doing it brings something distinctive to the table of organisation studies.' Silvia Gherardi, University of Trento
