Institutional Theory and Organizational Change

2nd edition

Staffan Furusten, Professor of Management, Organization and Society, Stockholm Business School, and Director, Stockholm Centre for Organizational Research (SCORE), Stockholm University, Sweden

Fully revised and refined, this new edition of Institutional Theory and Organizational Change considers the developments in the field of institutional organization theory over the past decade. With each chapter being significantly updated, the book explains what the institutional organization approach means by bringing special attention to how the institutional environment is made up and how organizations are governed by it.

‘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.’
