The panel brings together scholars of technology, innovation, and organization to discuss the emergent research agenda on the design processes behind technologies of coordination and control, such as digital platforms, big data analytics, and AI. Following recent calls by Bailey, Barley, Orlikowski, and others, five panelists will discuss why a focus on agendas, ideologies, and power-relations of designers as well as the organizational structure of design processes is critical to understand the impact of these technologies on organizations, markets, and work more generally. Drawing on empirical case studies of technology design, the panelists will discuss on how to think about the interplay between design and use of coordination and control technologies, how to solve data and access problems, and what are the salient theoretical issues for research on technology, work, and organizations.
