Does Isomorphism Legitimate?
检验制度理论的核心命题：组织同构是否提升合法性。研究发现商业银行战略同构与监管机构和媒体赋予的合法性正相关，且不受组织年龄、规模和绩效影响。
This study tests a central proposition of institutional theory, that organizational isomorphism increases organizational legitimacy. Results show that isomorphism in the strategies of commercial banks is related to legitimacy conferred by bank regulators and the media, even in the presence of organizational age, size, and performance.
