Inter‐organizational Collaboration and the Dynamics of Institutional Fields
探讨组织间合作与制度场域动态之间的相互依赖关系，认为制度场域为合作提供规则和资源，而合作又为维持制度场域的结构化过程提供背景。
While many aspects of the collaborative process have been discussed in the management literature, the connection between collaboration and the dynamics of institutional fields has remained largely unconsidered. Yet, collaboration is an important arena for inter–organizational interaction and, therefore, a potentially important context for the process of structuration upon which institutional fields depend. In this paper, we argue that institutionalization and collaboration are interdependent; institutional fields provide the rules and resources upon which collaboration is constructed, while collaboration provides a context for the ongoing processes of structuration that sustain the institutional fields of the participants.
