- BUILDING COLLABORATION? CO-LOCATION AND "DIS-LOCATION" IN A RAILWAY CONTROL POST THIJS WILLEMS ALFONS VAN MARREWIJK Administración y Contabilidad co inter location collaboration territoriality This paper studies the design of co-located spaces and how organizational actors experience such spaces. The literature on co-location is ambiguous about how reduced physical distance increases col¬laboration. To address this problem, we draw on an ethnographic study of a co-located railway control center, housing the largest Dutch railway organizations under one roof. Although the intention of the co-location was to improve collaboration by bringing different organizations into closer proximity, our findings tell a different story. Railway employees developed several territorial practices (preserving exis¬ting boundaries, creating new boundaries, and the situational use of boundaries) through which they resisted the design of the control center, thereby changing the control center from co-located to “dis-lo¬cated.” We argue that understanding the relationship between co-location and collaboration should not only focus on how such spaces are designed but, rather, account for how spaces where collaboration is demanded are experienced and used by employees. 2017 artículo científico 0034-7590 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=155154582003 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1551/155154582003/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1551/155154582003/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1551/155154582003/155154582003.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1551/155154582003/movil 10.1590/S0034-759020170603 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1551 RAE - Revista de Administração de Empresas application/pdf Fundação Getulio Vargas RAE - Revista de Administração de Empresas (Brasil) Num.6 Vol.57
