Vive La Résistance: Competing Logics and the Consolidation of U.S. Community Banking
研究竞争逻辑如何促进对制度变迁的抵抗，聚焦银行专业人士抵制大型全国银行收购小型本地银行，发现收购反而催生新银行成立，尤其当收购方为外地银行且社区本地银行专业人士众多时。
We investigate how competing logics facilitate resistance to institutional change, focusing on banking professionals' resistance to large, national banks' acquisitions of smaller, local banks. Acquisitions led to new bank foundings, particularly when out-of-town banks were the acquirers and a community's local population of bank professionals was large. We argue that the national banks' efforts to introduce a banking logic emphasizing efficiencies of geographic diversification triggered new forms of professional entrepreneurialism intended to preserve a community logic of banking. Contributions to a synthesis of ecological and institutional perspectives and to research on entrepreneurship and resistance to institutional change are discussed.
