Excerpt from The Duality of Technology: Rethinking the Concept of Technology in Organizations Through the regular action of knowledgeable and reflexive actors, patterns of interactions become established as standardized practices in organizations, e.g., ways of manufacturing a product, coordinating a meeting, or evaluating an employee. Over time, habitual use Of such practices eventually become institutionalized, forming the structural properties of organizations. These structural or institutionalized properties (structure) are drawn on by humans in their ongoing interactions (agency), even as such use, in turn, reinforces the institutionalized properties. In this formulation-known as the duality of structure-giddens overcomes the dualism between Objective, structural features of organizations and subjective, knowledgeable action of human agents. When humans act in organizations, they create and recreate three fundamental elements Of social interaction [giddens meaning, power, and norms. While these elements are highly interdependent and not separable in practice, for analytical purposes we can treat them as distinct, examining each from the perspective Of human agency and institutionalized properties. From an agency point Of view, human interaction involves the constitution and communication Of meaning. This is achieved via interpretive schemes or stocks of knowledge that humans draw on in their ongoing interaction with the world, which form the core Of mutual knowledge whereby an accountable universe of meaning is sustained through and in processes of interaction [giddens 1979z83]. The interpretive schemes, however, do more than merely enable shared meanings and hence mediate communication. From the perspective of institutionalized properties, interpretive schemes represent organizational structures of signification, which represent the organizational rules that inform and define interaction. Interpretive schemes are also reinforced or changed through social interaction, as the organizational rules are reaffirmed or challenged through their use by human agents. Thus, in any interaction, shared knowledge is not merely part of the background, but is an integral part Of the social encounter, in part organizing it, and in part being shaped by the interaction itself.

The book explores the phenomena of duality in science, technology, and mental activities such as thinking and problem solving. It goes far beyond the well-known duality theories of mathematics and physics. The book introduces many new types of duality and the laws that govern them. The research was prompted by the discovery of duality patterns in the methods of inventions developed within the Theory of Inventor's Problem Solving, known by its Russian acronym TRIZ. Then the role of duality in resolving conflicts/contradictions was discovered. It was found that conflicts/contradictions get resolved by separating conflicting requirements between dual "sides" of an object. The work to formalize these results led to the realization that mathematics is the science about equal dualities. Accordingly, a program was launched to transform mathematics in such a way that its axioms and theorems would assert equivalence of certain dualities. The study of how people think, solve problems and invent has also led to the discovery of many duality patterns, that have been used to develop new methods and algorithms for invention. All this is detailed in the book.

There are many books on duality. All of them fall into the following hackneyed categories: putting various spins on the classical dualities of good and evil, right and wrong, light and dark, mind and body, male and female, etc.: dualities as limitations and how to overcome them, or how to not limit oneself to one side; duality as illusion and how to free oneself from it; duality between women and men and how to reconcile it; etc. poetic and odd dualities such as the duality of the third dimension; haphazard dualities such as duality of risk and pain, moon and sun, wall and ceiling or any two other haphazardly chosen objects; treatises on the dual nature of something, e.g. the dual nature of matter, or the dual nature of mind, or the dual nature of soul, or the dual nature of space, etc. and, finally, scientific textbooks and monographs on duality principles in mathematics and physics. This book breaks a new ground and presents dualities discovered in the course of the research on how people think, solve problems and invent. The research began within the framework of TRIZ (the Russian acronym for the Theory of Inventor's Problems Solving) but went beyond it. It all started with the discovery of duality patterns in the TRIZ methods of invention. Attempts to formalize them led to the discovery of mathematical operators with properties that no other mathematical operator has. This led to the hypothesis that until now mathematics was the science about equal dualities. Accordingly, a program was launched to transform mathematics so that the axioms and theorems would assert the equivalence of dualities. Then dual transitions were discovered in the mechanisms of thinking and evolution. All this was put to use in devising new methods and algorithms of invention. The duality revolution has begun and continue to spread across domains revolutionizing them. This is what this book is about.

This book examines influential ideas within Management Information Systems (MIS). Leading international contributors summarize key topics and explore a variety of issues currently being discussed in the field. They re-visit influential ideas such as socio-technical theory, systems thinking, and structuration theory and demonstrate their relevance to newer ideas such as re-engineering, hybrid management, knowledge workers, and outsourcing. In locating MIS within an interdisciplinary context, particularly in the light of rapid technological changes, this book will form the link between past and future approaches to MIS.

This volume rethinks the work of Jacques Ellul (1912-1994) on the centenary of his birth, by presenting an overview of the current debates based on Ellul's insights. As one of the most significant twentieth-century thinkers about technology, Ellul was among the first thinkers to realize the importance of topics such as globalization, terrorism, communication technologies and ecology, and study them from a technological perspective. The book is divided into three sections. The first discusses Ellul’s diagnosis of modern society, and addresses the reception of his work on the technological society, the notion of efficiency, the process of symbolization/de-symbolization, and ecology. The second analyzes communicational and cultural problems, as well as threats and trends in early twenty-first century societies. Many of the issues Ellul saw as crucial – such as energy, propaganda, applied life sciences and communication – continue to be so. In fact they have grown exponentially, on a global scale, producing new forms of risk. Essays in the final section examine the duality of reason and revelation. They pursue an understanding of Ellul in terms of the depth of experience and the traditions of human knowledge, which is to say, on the one hand, the experience of the human being as contained in the rationalist, sociological and philosophical traditions. On the other hand there are the transcendent roots of human existence, as well as “revealed knowledge,” in the mystical and religious traditions. The meeting of these two traditions enables us to look at Ellul’s work as a whole, but above all it opens up a space for examining religious life in the technological society.
