“…Recent studies have helped highlight the importance of objects for supporting compromises between multiple orders of worth in various settings, such as in the case of cross-sectoral partnerships (Cloutier & Langley, forthcoming). Common examples of compromise-bearing objects include CSR reports (which integrate social, environmental and economical "worths" in organizations) (Persais, 2007) and management control systems (that also integrate multiple orders of worth) (Annisette et al, this volume;Dontenwill, 2012).…”

Permanent repository link and evaluation in organizations by reconsidering the notion of worth, and finally 4) push the boundaries of the framework itself by questioning and fine tuning some of its core assumptions. Taken as a whole, this volume not only carves a path for a deeper embedding of the EW approach into contemporary thinking about organizations, it also invites readers to refine and expand it by confronting it with a wider range of diverse empirical contexts of interest to organizational scholars.Keywords: economies of worth; justification; critique; evaluation; French Pragmatist Sociology.3 Despite early acknowledgement of the relevance of the EW framework for studying organizations (Denis, Langley, & Rouleau, 2007;Livian & Herreros, 1994), and a recognition that it provides "a highly original perspective stressing the importance of processes of critique and justification for the production of organizational order and change" (Jagd, 2011, p. 344 (Patriotta, Gond, & Schultz, 2011;Ramirez, 2013;Taupin, 2012). JUSTIFICATION, EVALUATION AND CRITIQUE IN THE STUDY OF ORGANIZATIONS: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE VOLUMEWhile demonstrating the "generative" potential of the EW framework by combining it with other theories is both interesting and useful, there are many missed opportunities in failing to embrace the EW framework as a theory that is worthy for its own sake, one that can be particularly helpful, for example, for uncovering some of the normative contradictions that underlie institutional life by investigating how individual actors engage with a plurality of moral orders.Some of this potential can be seen in studies that have mobilized the EW framework to address topics such as intra-organizational dynamics of justification (Jagd, 2011), the strategic management of pluralistic organizations (Daigle & Rouleau, 2010;Denis et al., 2007) decision-making in public management contexts (Dodier & Camus, 1998 It is in light of the above observations and the opportunities they gave rise to that we settled on the following four objectives for the volume: (1) clarify how individuals manage the contradictions and compromises inherent in organizational pluralism by considering the daily moral life of actors inhabiting institutions; (2) look at organizations critically by unpacking the rhetorical foundations of critiques, and pragmatically examining the roles of rhetoric and justification in the critical operations that organizational actors engage in; (3) reconsider the notion of worth beyond its purely economic sense and consider the multiple facets that constitute and produce value in organizational life and (4) push the boundaries of the EW framework itself and by so doing, help further embed notions such as justification, critique and valuation in our contemporary analysis and understanding of organizations.Collectively, the set of contributions proposed in this volume address these four key objec...

“…Mailhot et al (2016) examine leader-object couplings in project management as means to construct and maintain coherence in the presence of functional and hierarchical variety (multiple worldviews and strategic versus operational objectives). Several studies frame information systems, strategic plans, and products as performative objects that reduce variety in organization (e.g., limiting the range of available information) or increase it thanks to design ambiguity, imperfection, and unsettlement (Barbe and Hussler, 2019;Capron and Gray, 2000;Chenhall, Hall and Smith, 2013;Daigle and Rouleau, 2010;Daudigeos and Valiorgue, 2018;Dontenwill, 2012;Mailhot and Langley, 2017).…”

Moral responses to uncertainty: The economies of worth towards a reconceptualization of decision making and management

The sizeable literature that deploys Boltanski and Thévenot’s (1991, 2006) “economies of worth” model of moral cognition to study organization and management under conditions of uncertainty and value pluralism is connoted by a striking variety of interests, terminology, and theorizing approaches. This review argues for the literature’s emerging cumulative cohesiveness and for its value as a source of concepts and problems for researchers exploring organizational behavior, organizational complexity, knowledge and innovation, organizational justice, and leadership. By mapping the literature onto the elements of the source model, the review induces several constructs that – though requiring integration and development – outline a distinctive conception of organization: the collective exercise of moral sense is necessarily coterminous with decision and policy making; information and formal structures and practices arise out of it, as opposed to forming its context; the core concern of management is the functionality of the socio-material networks in which it unfolds. After defining several integrative and developmental research questions and locating the roots of the literature’s variety in the specificities of the economies of worth’s interdisciplinary translation, the review concludes by proposing a research approach based on four epistemological and methodological shifts that retains the model’s core assumptions but moves beyond its special conceptual confines and uses more general tools.

L’objet de cette recherche est de comprendre, dans le champ institutionnel de la grande distribution française, les stratégies carbone mises en place par les distributeurs intégrés Auchan, Casino et Carrefour. En croisant la théorie des cités de Boltanski et Thévenot et l’approche néo-institutionnaliste, nous étudions les discours et les pratiques sur la sobriété carbone. Ces apports théoriques sont, ensuite, mobilisés afin de comprendre les comportements et les stratégies mis en oeuvre par la grande distribution en matière de sobriété carbone. Enfin, une discussion est proposée sur la place que les distributeurs intégrés accordent au problème plus global du changement climatique.
