Substantial funding and research have supported empirically-based fieldwork that has led to important developments across various industrial and practical settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSociology has maintained a long-standing interest in technology, attempting to address its social foundations. This development coincides with growing interest from computer systems developers in sociology’s potential contributions to systems development. By emphasizing principles developed within ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, \u003ci\u003eTechnology in Working Order\u003c\/i\u003e (originally published in 1993, now with a new preface) demonstrates how sociology can examine technology as a socially organised domain of activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume brings together original research with direct relevance to industrial developments. Topics range from introducing technology into the work of air traffic controllers and police officers, to studies of simulated human-computer interaction and the use of ‘intelligent machines’ in medical settings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56496004759896,"sku":"9781041273776","price":112.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041273776_32be9a76-d419-4b45-820c-3fd76f16ff9d.jpg?v=1767897935","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/technology-in-working-order","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
