Research Webinar – Martin Kornberger

Exploring the interface between organisation design, governance, and technology
Martin Kornberger – University of Edinburgh Business School, Chair in Strategy and International Management
Thursday 14^th May @ 4pm

This webinar was set up as collective conversation to explore the interface between organisation design, governance, and technology. As a point of departure the event discussed the concept of evaluative infrastructures (Evaluative infrastructures: Accounting for platform organisation) and then moved towards blockchain as an application of the idea of distributed governance (Universal entry bookkeeping? Blockchain as accounting technology, trust, and governance–Manuscript Draft–). Participants read both papers in preparation to share their own ideas.
