Institutional Complexity and Organizational Responses
探讨组织面对多种制度逻辑冲突时的复杂性,分析影响这种复杂性的领域结构和组织属性,并总结组织应对多重竞争需求的策略与结构,为后续研究提供分析框架。
Organizations face institutional complexity whenever they confront incompatible prescriptions from multiple institutional logics. Our interest is in how plural institutional logics, refracted through field-level structures and processes, are experienced within organizations and how organizations respond to such complexity. We draw on a variety of cognate literatures to discuss the field-level structural characteristics and organizational attributes that shape institutional complexity. We then explore the repertoire of strategies and structures that organizations deploy to cope with multiple, competing demands. The analytical framework developed herein is presented to guide future scholarship in the systematic analysis of institutional complexity. We conclude by suggesting avenues for future research.
