Standardization as Institutional Work: The Regulatory Power of a Responsible Investment Standard
研究将标准化视为制度工作，通过FTSE4Good指数案例，分析计算性框架、参与和估值三种工作如何支持标准的设计、合法化和监控，从而赋予其监管权力。
This paper conceptualizes standardization as institutional work to study the emergence of a standard and the deployment of its regulatory power. We rely on unique access to longitudinal archival data for exploring how the FTSE4Good index, a responsible investment index, emerged as a standard for socially responsible corporate behavior. Our results show how three types of standardization work – calculative framing, engaging and valorizing – support the design, legitimation and monitoring processes whereby a standard acquires its regulatory power. Our findings reveal new facets in the dynamics of standardization by approaching standardization as a product of institutional work and in showing how unintended consequences of that work can be recaptured to strengthen the regulatory power of the standard.
