Product details

The Institutional Logics Perspective is one of the fastest growing new theoretical areas in organization studies (Thornton, Ocasio & Lounsbury, 2012). Building on early efforts by Friedland & Alford (1991) to “bring society back in” to the study of organizational dynamics, this new scholarly domain has revived institutional analysis by embracing a focus on the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of institutions. In doing so, it has embraced a more practice-centered approach to agency that emphasizes situated interactions, the importance of history, the role of both symbolic and material elements, and the study of cross-level processes and mechanisms. This two volume set, seeded by an ABC Network conference held in Banff, Alberta, CANADA in June 2012, provides a fresh set of papers by scholars at the cutting edge of research on institutional logics. As a whole, the papers provide many novel theoretical insights about institutional logics in action – focusing on their dynamics, complexity, and evolving relationship to actors as actors actively navigate their social worlds.

Review

This book is part 2 of a two-volume set on current research and theoretical frameworks for understanding the interactions of actors and institutional logics. Papers by international contributors address themes of institutional complexity and organizational responses. Some specific topics examined include reasserting the influence of the family institutional logic across organizations, imageries of corporate social responsibility, logic pluralism and organizational design, and the internal complexity of market logics.
