“…Entendernos como sujetos relacionales, más que sujetos fijos subscritos a categorías u atributos sociales, pareciera tener un valor más constructivo en la explicación de nuestras experiencias (Donati, 2011;Emirbayer, 1997). Las fortalezas de este método ofrecen nuevas interpretaciones de las dinámicas e interacciones sociales, antes limitadas a las características específicas ofrecidas por el holismoindividualismo metodológico (Abbott, 2020). Con esto, y dadas sus capacidades, el análisis de redes sociales (ARS) puede servir para desafiar nuestros conceptos y conocimientos sobre temas como, por ejemplo, el poder.…”

We offer a path-centric theory of emerging technology and organizing that addresses a basic question. When does emerging technology lead to transformative change? A path-centric perspective on technology focuses on the patterns of actions afforded by technology in use. We identify performing and patterning as self-reinforcing mechanisms that shape patterns of action in the domain of emerging technology and organizing. We use a dynamic simulation to show that performing and patterning can lead to a wide range of trajectories, from lock-in to transformation, depending on how emerging technology in use influences the pattern of action. When emerging technologies afford new actions that can be flexibly recombined to generate new paths, decisive transformative effects are more likely. By themselves, new affordances are not likely to generate transformation. We illustrate this theory with examples from the practice of pharmaceutical drug discovery. The path-centric perspective offers a new way to think about generativity and the role of affordances in organizing.
