Uninhibited Institutionalisms
本文批判性地讨论制度理论在组织研究中变得过于宽泛、分散和混乱的现状，提出重新概念化制度与制度理论，并指出替代性发展方向。
Institutional theory (IT) is a very influential set of approaches in organization studies. There is increasing critique that the set is becoming uninhibited: too broad, dispersed, and confusing. Efforts to rejuvinate the field(s) have led to all-embracing definitions and efforts to account for too much, which makes it difficult to identify what is distinct about the assembly of research. This article discusses critically the state of IT and suggests some reconceptualizations of institution and institutional theory and points at some alternative lines of development.
