- Summary:
- Context is a central concept in organization and management studies, yet it is often used in a generalized, unspecific manner. This work offers an interactionist view on context as a dynamic, relational and socially enacted phenomenon. It explores context in action and the theoretical, methodological and analytical consequences of this approach through a collection of reflections and research experiences from the dynamic field of health care.
