Empirical research on the organizational implications of digitization is still in its infancy. The phenomenon of "organization" still seems to be a blind spot in current digitization research. The two-semester teaching research aims at conducting smaller, decidedly organizational sociological research projects. Questions could be, for example: What actually makes digitization so difficult in organizations? How are technology and the inherent logics of organizations to be related to each other? What new challenges do home office and remote work bring with them? What new ways of working might go hand in hand with the introduction of digital technologies? The seminar will start with in-depth insights into the challenges in practice. To this end, guests (e.g. from software development or those responsible for digital transformation in a company) will be invited to present their own digitization projects and discuss them with us. In the second step, we devote ourselves to organizational sociological perspectives on digitization. Here we lay the theoretical foundations for the research. Third, we will discuss methods of organization-sensitive digitization research. For this purpose, we build on classical methods of organizational research and negotiate their transferability to phenomena of digitization. At the end of the first semester, a research exposé will be written. In the second part (WS 2021/2022), students will then write their own research papers. Seminar requirements: Submission of a reading journal on the texts on organizational sociological perspectives. Short presentation of a research method with reference to digitalization and organization Submission of a literature review on an application field of organization-sensitive digitization research to the research team Presentation of a thesis paper on the field of application to the research team Submission of a six-liner on the research project in a team or individually Submission of an exposé on one's own research project by the end of the semester close
