Bringing together insights from Organisation Studies and Science and Technology Studies this paper provides a multilevel analysis of a planned change initiative. Focusing on different layers of this change the emergent ambiguities, multiplicities and tensions are explored serving to highlight the ‘back stage complexities’ often hidden by the ‘front stage slickness’ (Moser and Law) of organisational routines.
