Ursula Plesner

Ursula Plesner’s research focuses on how digital technologies become intertwined with organizational phenomena and transform various aspects of work. She has studied how automation, new shared digital platforms, and various communication technologies afford new professional relations, new managerial work, and new power relations. Presently, she is leading a large collaborative research project together with Lise Justesen on the invisible work that follows from digitalizing organizations, focusing on public sector organizations, which have ambitious digitalization agendas. The project will provide knowledge about how efficiency ambitions often clash with the emergence of new everyday work tasks in digitalized organizations, for instance, work related to securing data quality, data transmission, legal aspects relating to data, etc.
