Abstract
This study aims to reexamine of the identity of organizational routine studies which is one of reference disciplines of AIS. Generally, routines are understood as recurrent behavioral patterns, and making changes in organizational routines is regarded as a theoretical issue. This study proposes that organizational routines should be taken as preconditions for decision-making which afford a clue to members within an organization when accomplishing a work; furthermore, an inquiry about design principles for organizing work practices activated by routines should be viewed as an authentic theoretical issue. Additionally, this study provides some practical implications, through a case study of an aircraft service.
