Today’s digital technologies, as well as the products and services they create, have unique material, cultural, and economic characteristics that make them fundamentally different from technologies of decades past. While the increasingly important role of digital technologies in today’s organizations is hard to deny, scholars have much to learn, empirically and theoretically, about how digital technologies affect organizational processes. This symposium will focus on how advances in digital technologies are reconfiguring processes at the product, organization, and field levels. It brings together a diverse set of papers representing different theoretical orientations, levels of analysis, and empirical settings—each with the question of how organizing processes change in the migration of phenomenon from “offline” to “online.” The goal of the symposium is to integrate these approaches to point towards a multi-level understanding of how digital technologies are affecting core organizing processes.
