In this paper we generalise the semantics of ASL including the three behavioural operators presented in for a xed but arbitrary algebraic institution After that we de ne a behavioural algebraic institution which is used to give an alternative semantics of the behavioural operators to de ne the normal forms of the both semantics of behavioural operators and to relate both semantics Finally we pr...

As part of the broader intellectual movement throughout social sciences that is centered on new institutionalism, institution-based view has emerged as a leading perspective in strategic management literature. This article (1) traces emergence view, (2) reviews its growth last two decades, and (3) responds to three major criticisms. We also identify four promising research directions—deglobaliz...

While scholars have provided increasingly well-developed theoretical frameworks for understanding the role of institutional entrepreneurs and other purposeful actors in bringing about change in organizational fields, much less attention has been paid to the role of unorganized, nonstrategic actors in catalyzing change. In particular, the role of consumers remains largely uninvestigated. In this...

In this paper, we present an innovative approach for ranking profiles of capability sets on the basis of equity. An interesting way of capturing the notion of equity is to take into account the extent to which each of the different functioning vectors is shared by the population under consideration (of size n). This is done by defining the ‘common capability sets’ enjoyed by k individuals as th...

Algebraization of computational logics in the theory of fork algebras has been a research topic for a while. This research allowed us to interpret classical first-order logic, several propositional monomodal logics, propositional and first-order dynamic logic, and propositional and first-order linear temporal logic in the theory of fork algebras. In this paper we formalize these interpretabilit...
