Huang, J., Baptista, J. and Galliers, R.D., 2013. Reconceptualizing rhetorical practices
in organizations: The impact of social media on internal communications. Information
& Management, 50(2-3), pp.112-124.
The actual findings of the study will be actually revealing that social media will be
both enabling as well as facilitating the specific shaping of all the various rhetorical practices
of the organization. This will be done by adding the multi-vocality, incrementing the richness
and also the reach in the sharing of information and lastly by enabling consumption that will
be simultaneous. The study actually comprises of the conceptualization of all the various
rhetorical practices of the organization as that of the combination of media, message and the
intent which will be strategic. There is also a proper discussion of the particular interplay in
between all the rhetors and of their audiences. This particular study will be involving the
utilization of social media in three different organizations which are multi-national
particularly within the industry of telecommunications.
Lilian, S.C., 2014. Virtual teams: Opportunities and challenges for e-leaders. Procedia-
Social and Behavioral Sciences, 110, pp.1251-1261.
The particular article mostly aims at properly exploring the e-leadership. It has been
said that all the various leaders are hugely facing a number of both opportunities as well as
challenges during the specific strive towards reaching all the objectives within the globalized
world with certain crucial alternations which will be technological. Certain kinds of changes
have been actually leading towards a number of restructurings of the organization and even
implying rethinking of a number of functions of leadership as well as practices. It has been
observed that all the virtual teams are actually both geographically as well as organizationally
dispersed teams that will be functioning over various time zones. Because of such a kind of
dispersion, a physical contact in all the virtual teams is greatly reduced or rather lacking
altogether which will be actually meaning that collaboration is actually properly enabled by a
number of IT solutions like that of the communication based upon computer. Such a kind of
team which will be facilitated electronically is actually known to be implying both challenges
as well as opportunities for the current global e-leaders.

The Challenges of Managing Technologies in Organizations2
Reason, J., 2016. Managing the risks of organizational accidents. Routledge.
This particular book is actually able to present a complete set of all the various
principles to specifically further the knowledge of all the various causes of the huge accidents
in a broad variety of several systems of high technology. It is also capable of describing all
the various tools as well as techniques which can be utilized for the management of the risks
of some kinds of organizational accidents that will be going further beyond all those which
will be recently available to all the managers of system as well as the professionals of safety.
The author of the book even argued that the similar general principles as well as techniques
of management are proper for various domains. These will be actually involving all the banks
as well as the companies of insurance like that of all the nuclear power plants, exploration of
oil and the companies of production. The unique combination of all the various principles as
well as practicalities has actually made this particular seminal book very much essential for
all of those whose regular business is to manage as well as regulate all the technologies which
are hazardous.
Sayles, L.R., 2017. Managing large systems: organizations for the future. Routledge.
This paper analyses the challenges faced in managing the technologies in different
organizations. Managing huge systems in organizations examines the challenges related to
organizations. The author thinks description of distinctive management system is included in
managing huge systems that is created by NASA under James Webb’s leadership.
Behavioural relationships between government officials and business, technical managers and
business, engineers and scientists are given special attention. The author thinks managerial
principles with respect to planning, incentive systems and controls is insufficient in large
systems. Organizational clusters are used for managing future projects and in sectors like
ecological improvements, huge medical programs and urban development.
Henfridsson, O., Mathiassen, L. and Svahn, F., 2014. Managing technological change in
the digital age: the role of architectural frames. Journal of Information Technology,
29(1), pp.27-43.
The purpose of this study is to analyse the challenges faced while managing change in
technologies. The researchers have found modularity to be a strong approach in managing
change in technology in innovation of products. For realizing modularity’s scale benefits,
design specifications are solidified by firms before production, therefore allowing limited
opportunities of functionality redesign, making it difficult for taking advantage of high speed
in which development and modification of digital products can be done. For addressing this
problem, design pattern provided by Christopher Alexander is used for introducing an
approach in managing change of technology. As result, products are managed in digital age,
the digital technology’s properties are highlighted which increase the speed of redesigning of
digitized products.
