“…With respect to dis/organization studies (Plotnikof & Pedersen, 2019; Vásquez & Kuhn, 2019), we offer a concept to study the relational multiplicity (i.e. partial connections) of dis/organizing technologies.…”

“…With the concept of partial connections, we found that exploring connectivity as well as cuts, gaps and disconnections produce critical insights into how a dis/organizing technology may differentiate relations and cause normative struggles (e.g. a data-ethical controversy) that are neither controllable nor equally distributed (Munro, 2001; Plotnikof & Pedersen, 2019). Our perspective underlines that digital data infrastructures are not just technicalities within which organizational politics unfold.…”

This paper addresses the relationship between digital technology and dis/organization by theorizing and analyzing digital data infrastructures as partial connections. Much literature attends to the ordering and controlling organizational powers of digital data infrastructures. We propose to expand existing discussions by also exploring their disorganizing aspects. Drawing on Marilyn Strathern, we conceptualize digital data infrastructures as partial connections that both connect and disconnect, with the implication of simultaneously ordering and disordering the social relations implicated by digital data infrastructures. With a case study of a national wellbeing survey used in Danish education governance, we illustrate this point, showing how connective and commensurable powers of digital infrastructures not only (re-)organize social relations through their datafication but also disorganize the infrastructural imperative of connectivity in unanticipated ways. This leads us to argue that dis/organization is integral to the powerful ordering capacities of digital data infrastructures.

In the emergency situation of the Covid 19 pandemic, it is not only be the government responsibility, collaboration is needed with collaboration between each stakeholder can sit together in one forum, build understanding and commitment, and sense of responsibility of the forum referred to in collaboration governance in line with the formation of acceleration of the handling of Covid-19 at the central and regional levels. Citizen engagement refers to the involvement of citizens in public affairs, with the aim of building trusted relationships beyond simple information exchange. Governments that take a holistic approach to citizen engagement, embedding public participation into political activities such as public policy discussions, enhance understanding and promote transparent decision-making (Agostino & Arnaboldi, 2016; Taylor & Kent, 2014). Social media, due to its openness, dialogism, and participatory nature, offers significant benefits in delivering [1]. The Surabaya City Government formed a task force for the acceleration of handling of the Covid-19 pandemic stakeholders, namely the government, society and the private sector. Paper analysis method through review literature. The Collaboration Process is dynamic and cyclic, producing temporary actions and impacts, before leading to the main impacts, and adaptation to temporary impacts. The collaboration process requires components and stages in the form of: (1) The dynamics of collaboration, it still needs to be optimized in a positive direction to reduce damaging dynamics (2). Collaborative actions work well, supported by strong leaders who maintain and implement the vision and (3). Temporary impacts and temporary adaptations of the collaborative process, while the impacts cannot yet be measured, still require a longer process, but the temporary achievement of Covid-19 patient recovery rates increases. A comprehensive collaborative effort from the actors involved is needed so that the covid-19 virus chain is broken and the situation improves as before.

“…Other studies, also interested in discourse–materiality relations, argue – often with reference to Foucault (see e.g. Hardy and Thomas, 2015; Mumby and Plotnikof, 2019; Plotnikof and Pedersen, 2019; Thomas et al , 2011; Thomas and Hardy, 2011) – that: “discursive practices cannot be pried apart from the material practices that envelope and interpolate them. It is this fusion of the discursive and the material that generates the power effects of discourse” (Hardy and Thomas, 2015, p. 690).…”

PurposeWhile recent theoretical discussions around discourse–material relationality have facilitated important conceptual and analytical advancements within the broader field of CMS, less progress has been made methodologically with regard to innovating empirical methods and data modes. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to contribute to strengthening the methodological focus in the literature when grappling with the relationality of discourse–materiality and co-constitution. This includes a method-retooling framework inspired by new materialism.Design/methodology/approachIn this article, the authors engage at the methodological level by developing a method-retooling framework that combines insights from organizational discourse studies and new materialist thinking. This framework enables a retooling of existing methods to become sensitive to multimodality and offers two concrete examples that were developed during fieldwork for a multi-sited and multi-method case study in 2018.FindingsBased on the framework for retooling methods for multimodality, two illustrations are offered. These include retooling interviews by employing multimodal vignettes and retooling observations by using multimodal mappings. They are unfolded and discussed regarding their appropriation of discourse–material relationality.Originality/valueThis paper includes original research and method developments – adding a critical focus on the methodological aspects and potential advancements that are necessary in the wake of the ongoing debates around discourse–materiality across CMS and specifically within studies of organizational discourse and CCO. By suggesting a framework, the authors stimulate methodological explorations and contribute to furthering method developments that are equal to the rich conceptual progress made within the field.
