<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Cambria","serif"">This call concerns one of the workshops organized before the 2013 European Conference on Information Systems (ECIS). The increased flexibility of technologies
and routines calls for new ways of organizing in which IT and organizations are inextricably interwoven. These emerging organizational changes in turn, call for alternative ways of analyzing change processes. Instead of traditional perspectives on IS such
as the transactional or decision making perspective, or a technological or organizational imperative perspective, a growing body of IS research employs a sociomaterial perspective. Such as perspective acknowledges that material and human agencies are intertwined
and that one cannot talk about a technology without reference to the social setting. One way to study the interconnection between material and human agencies, is through the lens of ‘affordances’, recognizing how the materiality of an object favors, shapes
or invites as well as constrains new ways of working and organizing. The aim of the workshop is to discuss and present research papers on this interplay between technology and organizational change. We invite researchers and PhD students to join the discussion
and present their papers and work in progress investigating new ways of working and organizing afforded by technology.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
