Wielding the Willow: Processes of Institutional Change in English County Cricket
通过研究英国一级郡级板球的长期档案，发现成熟组织场域中位于中心、边缘及中间的组织会触发不同层面的制度变迁过程，其中间群体充当协调者，推动社会、场域和组织层面重新对齐。
We examine institutional change processes through a longitudinal archival study of First-Class County Cricket in England. We find that institutional change occurs in mature organizational fields when organizations located at the field center, periphery, and in between trigger different multilevel processes. Our results show that when society-level evolutionary change created organization-level resource pressures that undermined the central values of a mature field, the group of actors between the field center and periphery served as intermediaries in the institutional change process bringing the societal, field, and organizational levels back into alignment. Our process model was supported over two cycles of change.
