Summary
This book focuses on the concept and role of relational practices as a way to understand and study processes of organizing. Relational practices are conceived as an ongoing, everyday process resulting in more participative ways of organizing. Participative organizing works from and with the multiplicity of interactions inherent in processes of becoming; it reflects upon and experiments with how the diversity of participants and interactions can provide the potential for defining and redefining organizational ôrealities.ö Through reflective essays and empirical research examples, this book illustrates that relational practices of everyday organizational life are -strongly entangled with emotional, embodied, and aesthetic processes.
