Popis:	In fast changing environments, middle managers regularly have to participate in interorganizational sensemaking work in order to deal with issues of industry-wide significance. The research is grounded on an empirical study of a cross-sector study group, bringing together middle managers from five large French public works and civil engineering firms who are examining issues related to the adoption of a shared digital mock-up that will reconfigure the sector. The article identifies four translation spaces in which these middle managers make sense of this design technology through a set of editing practices. The article ends by discussing the dynamic of these translation spaces and the need to better understand middle managers' editing practices when they are making sense of change across organizational boundaries.
