Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review‘In this impressive new edition of his well-received book, Staffan Furusten extends his analysis of the impact of institutional environments on contemporary organizations. He considers not only the market forces emphasized in traditional theories, but also crystallized macro- and meso- structures, such as legal arrangements. And he reviews the impact of less-codified ideological and cultural frames that modify and enlarge organizations. The book is a real contribution to the institutional analyses central to contemporary thought, as both an intellectual synthesis and a useful text.’ -- John W. Meyer, Professor of Sociology, Emeritus, Stanford University, US
