Institutional Theory, Language, and Discourse Analysis: A Comment on Philips, Lawrence, and Hardy
评论了菲利普斯等人用话语分析补充制度理论的观点，指出其诊断的缺陷，并强调其对现实研究和权力政治的重视。
This article presents a commentary on a discursive view of institutions' attempt to remedy the limited analysis of processes of institutionalization, which is noted as a shortcoming repeatedly attributed to institutional theory. The view discussed is that of Professors N. Phillips, T.B. Lawrence, and C. Hardy, as delivered in 2004. They feel that an insufficient amount of attention is being given to the foundational importance of language, and suggest that institutional theory be complemented with insights drawn from discourse analysis. The author points out flaws in the formulation and application of their diagnosis. The author also notes its embrace of realist investigations and its attentiveness to power and politics.
