- Title
Dyslogistic Information Ecologies.
- Authors
Letiche, Hugo; van Mens, Lucie
- Abstract
This article explores the dyslogistics (spoken badly/pertaining to dysfunctioning communication) of organizational interaction. Dyslogistics are to be opposed to eulogistics (dys + (eu)logistic). The term is attributed to Jeremy Bentham (Webster's Dictionary, 1913 edn). Two ethnographic cases within a single business organization are presented to explore what Nardi and O'Day call an information ecology. But while their information ecologies seem self-evidently to lead to organizational learning, ours will point to complex and often equivocal interactions, sometimes even to oppressiveness.
