‘This book provides a fascinating, timely and distinctive exploration of how organizational meetings can be better understood as a practice of community building. The empirical settings of public and private sector organizations in Sweden provides a rich context for exploring the effects of digital interaction on meeting organization in a setting where values of trust, consensus-building and collaboration are valued. The book will be valuable to managers and leaders in the Nordics and beyond as a means of reflecting on how meetings are organized, and the purposes that they serve, as well as to researchers who are interested in better understanding how humans make meaning at work.’
