Reflexivity and the Institutional Entrepreneur: A Historical Exploration
借助玛格丽特·阿彻的“自主反思者”概念，重新审视制度企业家理论中的能动性问题，并通过分析安德鲁·巴克莱·沃克爵士的案例，展示其如何将习以为常的实践迁移至新情境以构建管理体系。
This article sets the idea of the `institutional entrepreneur' in the context of the `autonomous reflexive' as developed in the work of Margaret Archer. It argues that the latter notion provides a helpful approach to the issue of agency that has bedevilled the new institutionalist project. A detailed account, using the lens supplied by the notion of the autonomous reflexive, is given of the formation of Sir Andrew Barclay Walker, a pioneer of directly managed public houses. The article suggests that Walker used taken-for-granted practice, transferred from elsewhere, to develop his managerial systems. The importance of aspects of Walker's Scottish background, such as education and church governance, is stressed. The account of agency supplied by Archer is seen to be a conception of agency that can inform the debate over the nature of institutional entrepreneurship.
