But as I noted earlier, just what this will mean for these organisations is as yet far from clear. A prior task is still to characterise the organisation of the organisation, and to grasp what role documents have in that. One of the curious properties of organisational theory is its tendency to delight in the abstract, the theoretical, the idealised view of organisations.

Here it is not just the gizmos and computer-controlled contraptions that are odd and fascinating in equal measure, it is also the social relations one finds therein. One factor here is that these places are disproportionately populated by those with professional rights and status-namely, research scientists. Given that many of these individuals are powerfully motivated by the quest not just for fame but also for wealth, and given also that there are virtually no professional and institutional frameworks within which their work can be governed, the tension between these individuals and laboratory management, manifest in battles over altering working practices, rights to research outcomes, control over research projects and research funding and so on, is intense indeedI3.
