Abstract

This paper presents an ethnographic study of organisational change in a retail bank considering issues surrounding the supposed emergence of the ’virtual organisation’. It outlines emerging problems in organisational work as a consequence of the shift toward ’virtuality’ and questions the explanatory value of such theoretical stances.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
