Abstract
This study introduces an alternative way of looking at the relation ontology of organizing with the natural environment in the particular context of snow in winter tourism. Adopting the conceptual framework of organizational scripts and assessing their performance, coherence and dimensions, we explore stereotyped programs of actions in the relations between human and non-human actors and their constitutive consequences for organizing sustainable futures with the natural environment. In this context, we identified relations of snow in winter tourism with (1) snow as a manageable resource for the economic viability of winter tourism, (2) snow as a disruptive (disorganizing) resource in the face of climate change and decreasing snow reliability and (3) snow as an artificial resource in the face of technical solutions to uphold economic viability of winter tourism. The analysis contributes to the relational understanding of organizing human and non-human relations through the materialization in organizational scripts.
