Reflections on developments in institutional theory: Toward a relational approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this review article, we reflect upon recent developments in institutional theory with particular emphasis on first, how organizational fields have been conceived and second, on how action has been conceptualized and incorporated into institutional accounts.

However, we also identify a number of weaknesses and challenges, which we assess in the context of developing a relational approach to institutional analysis. r 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
