Sažetak
Based on ethnographic research carried out in 2013 in the Shipyard “3. maj” (Rijeka, Croatia), the paper presents anthropological insights into the shipyard’s organizational culture and discusses the dynamics of complex systems such as those within the naval industry. To do this, I join anthropological spatial and organizational issues within an industrial ethnography. I place my ethnographic focus on the shipyard’s Department for Organization. This leads to an insight into the changes in organizational structure throughout fifty years (1960-2010), including the closure of discrete units such as the educational and research units, which were the most important ones. The structure and agency of the shipyard’s system are embedded in its material as well as human components, where both are located in material artifacts and people. This is why they are presented together in this paper under the notion of organizational culture. Taking into consideration the many ethnographies of organizational culture that attempt to reconcile cultural order and individual agency, in this paper I take a step back and consider issues of complexity and scale in an effort to exemplify relations in the shipyard’s complex system. Furthermore, the paper outlines the anthropological potentials in understanding interlaced systems of local or lay knowledge (the process of building many (hi)stories of the shipyard that encompass all its internal and external relations) and expert knowledge (related to the shipbuilding industry) in complex systems
