| Résumé : |
This research comes after prior works that aim at exploring new forms of mutual borrowing between information technologies and control. At the now admitted digital era, studying what technology usages mean for control is also a way of understanding organizational behaviours. Of interest here, are possible evolutions of social control practices as usages of a collaborative database spread in a new product development setting. An analytical tool is designed based on a literature review to enable the identification of social control practices. The case studied here suggests that the existing way of organizing is renegotiated through reciprocal adjustments ensuing storage and accessibility of work outputs in the database. These adjustments appear to lean towards an indirect supervision mechanism and to entail the dissolution of social control foundation. This result supports more and more studies that put forth the emergence of a new sociomaterial form of control. |
