Management is a practice mediated by instruments. It is therefore not solely a matter of decision-making and action. It cannot exist without the mediation of management instrumentation. This notion encompasses all instruments (indicators, dashboards, formalized models, analytical methods, and other tools) through which management techniques are implemented. Based on collective representations of organized action, it possesses structuring properties that transform information into data and contribute to organizing production relationships.
