Abstract

The present understanding of LCM as a product management system
supported by a number of tools and methods does not pay attention to the
importance of social practices that the employees develop in relation to the
systematic approach. A new conceptual model of LCM including the social
practices is presented and discussed from theoretical and empirical
perspectives. Theoretically, the analyses cover the formalized structures
related to the division of labor and the coordination of the tasks on the one
hand, and the social practices as meanings, values and priorities on the other
hand. A larger Danish company serves as case for the empirical analyses of
the formalized structures and their interaction with the social practices
developed by the employees over time.
