pathways of Institutional Change an integrative review and research agenda
Journal of Management, 2017Co-Authors: E Micelotta, Michael Lounsbury, Royston GreenwoodAbstract:The study of Institutional Change is a core research area in organization theory and is of increasing relevance for scholarship in other disciplines. In this article, we review the substantial number of studies that have examined the ways by which institutions are created, modified, or transformed, highlighting the lack of integration of prior works that emphasize exogenous shocks, Institutional entrepreneurship, and practice-based Change. Drawing on the Institutional logics perspective, we then develop a novel typology of pathways of Change that more comprehensively brings together this diverse literature, accounts for the richness and heterogeneity of Institutional Change processes unveiled by studies to date, and provides a more synthetic framework to guide future research. Based on our analysis and theorizing, we discuss important new scholarly directions that will enhance our understanding of different kinds of Institutional Change processes and outcomes, as well as contribute to further development ...

from practice to field a multilevel model of practice driven Institutional Change
Academy of Management Journal, 2012Co-Authors: Michael Smets, Tim Morris, Royston GreenwoodAbstract:This article develops a model of practice-driven Institutional Change - or Change that originates in the everyday work of individuals but results in a shift in field-level logic. In demonstrating how improvisations at work can generate Institutional Change, we attend to the earliest moments of Change, which extant research has neglected; and we contrast existing accounts that focus on active entrepreneurship and the contested nature of Change. We outline the specific mechanisms by which Change emerges from everyday work, becomes justified, and diffuses within an organization and field, as well as precipitating and enabling dynamics that trigger and condition these mechanisms. © Academy of Management Journal.

distributive consideration in Institutional Change the case of zia s islamization policy in pakistan
Constitutional Political Economy, 2013Co-Authors: Karim KhanAbstract:Institutional Change is an interactive process that results from the social interactions of economic actors. Several perspectives like ideology, efficiency, or distribution etc. are relevant in studying Institutional Change. In this paper, the distributive consideration is analyzed and an argument is made in favor of this approach by providing evidence from Pakistan’s Islamization policy. Our analysis shows that Zia’s Islamization program was motivated by his search for legitimacy, and his rent-seeking interests. Domestic legitimacy was achieved through the introduction of Islamic clauses in the constitution as it was a popular demand in a state which was already established through a religious rhetoric. The Islamization program also helped in attaining international legitimacy as the religious circles informally initiated Jihad against Soviet Union in Afghanistan. The Islamization policy and Jihad, in turn, resulted in windfall gains in the form of US economic and military assistance that led to a voracious rent-seeking in the Pakistani society. After the detailed descriptive analysis, we model this situation in two-stage rent-seeking activities. We show how the rent-seeking contest among various interest groups results in Institutional Change as an equilibrium outcome. Our results indicate that Pakistan’s Islamization program is associated with the parameter shifts in our model.

up or aside micro foundations of Institutional Change in the career structure of uk elite law firms
Social Science Research Network, 2019Co-Authors: Thomas J Roulet, Lionel Paolella, Claudia Gabbioneta, Daniel MuzioAbstract:We investigate Institutional Change as the co-occurrence of deInstitutionalization and Institutionalization, while accounting for its determinants at multiple levels of analysis to further our understanding of how individual characteristics aggregated at the organizational level and organizational characteristics together account for the erosion and emergence of practices within the field. We empirically explore this question in a multi-level dataset of UK law firms and their employees, looking in particular at how the practice of equity partnership faded away and how non-equity partnership emerged as a new practice. Our results contribute to the literature on Institutional Change and the micro-foundation of institutions.

transnational corporations shaping Institutional Change the case of english law firms in germany
Journal of Economic Geography, 2015Co-Authors: James Faulconbridge, Daniel MuzioAbstract:Questions remain about the factors that influence the ability of transnational corporations (TNCs) to shape processes of Institutional Change. In particular, questions about power relations need more attention. To address such questions, this article develops a neoInstitutional theory-inspired analysis of the case of English law firms and their impacts on Institutional Change in Germany. The article shows that the shaping of the direction of Institutional Change by English legal TNCs was a product of conjunctural moments in which local Institutional instability combined with the presence, resources and strategies of the TNCs to redirect the path of Institutional evolution. This draws attention to the need to go beyond the TNC and its resources and to consider the way a diverse array of local actors and their generating of instability in existing Institutional structures influence the ability of TNCs to become involved in processes of Institutional Change in particular, conjunctural moments in time.

the politics of Institutional Change transformative and self preserving Change in the vocational education and training system in switzerland
Comparative politics, 2010Co-Authors: Christine TrampuschAbstract:On the basis of an in-depth study of the Swiss Vocational Education and Training (VET) system?an extreme case among collectivist regimes?the employers' constellation and the elites of the public education administration affect patterns of Institutional Change. If large firms are the dominant actors and collaborate with elites in the public education administration, Institutional Change follows a transformative pat tern. If small and medium firms are in a strong position and have the power to influence public elites according to their interests, self-preserving Institutional Change results. With reference to causal mechanism of Institutional Change in VET systems, developments in the international political economy and Europe are important intervening factors in pat terns of Institutional Change. In comparative political economy, Institutional Change in collectivist skill-provision sys tems has received increasing attention.1 One finding is that collectivist training regimes exhibit a high degree of stability and that radical (transformative) Change is probable but less likely.2 Collectivist systems are vocational education and training regimes which show three peculiarities: employers and their associations are strongly involved in the administration and financing of training; the systems provide portable, certified occupa tional skills; and, historically, employers' interest in skills may lead to training regimes which evolve as "dual" schemes. Dual schemes combine school-based learning with company-based training. Collectivist skill systems have developed in Germany, Austria, Denmark, and Switzerland, but scholars focus mainly on the German case as the proto type of collectivist skill systems. An in-depth study of the Swiss training system, namely, its structural peculiarities as well as its recent patterns of Change, offers fresh and in triguing insights for the analysis of Institutional Change in collectivist skill systems. Until the mid-1990s, the Swiss history of training reforms was a story of failed reforms and gradualistic policy, best described by the Helveticism "Der Berg hat eine Maus geboren" (The mountain has given birth to a mouse).3 However, since the mid 1990s several reforms have Changed the Swiss training system in a self-preserving as

europeanization and Institutional Change in vocational education and training in austria and germany
Governance, 2009Co-Authors: Christine TrampuschAbstract:This article analyzes how the EU's vocational education and training (VET) policy is reflected in domestic reforms in Germany and Austria. It perceives Europeanization as a heuristic concept to disentangle a twofold process of Institutional Change: The first process, the “Europeanized” arena of Change, concerns Change initiated by the reactions of domestic actors to EU initiatives; the second process of Change—the “domestic” arena of Change—concerns the ongoing incremental endogenous Change in domestic institutions beneath and independent from the Europeanized arena of Institutional Change. This procedure allows us to differentiate between two modes of Europeanization: In Germany, Europeanization occurs as reform policies and politics; in Austria, Europeanization occurs more as Institutional Change by default, hence without strategically enacted reform initiatives shaped by the EU and as domestic Institutional Change that occurs anyway. The article combines the case-oriented method of difference with process tracing.

governance and Institutional Change in marine insurance 1350 1850
European Review of Economic History, 2014Co-Authors: Christopher KingstonAbstract:This article explores the development and diffusion of market governance institutions in the marine insurance industry as the practice of insurance spread from its early origins in medieval Italy throughout the Atlantic world. Informal governance mechanisms provided the foundation for the development of insurance law administered by specialist courts. Efforts to tax and regulate the industry frequently met with limited success, both because of inter-jurisdictional competition and because merchants and brokers could to some extent opt out of the formal system. The divergence in organizational form across countries illustrates the potential for path-dependent Institutional Change.

Eorts to tax and regulate the industry frequently met with limited success, both because of interjurisdictional competition and because merchants and brokers could to some extent opt out of the formal system. The divergence in organizational form between Britain and other countries, brought about in part by Britain’s Bubble Act of 1720, illustrates the potential for path-dependent Institutional Change.

adverse selection and Institutional Change in eighteenth century marine insurance
2008Co-Authors: Christopher KingstonAbstract:This paper describes and analyzes the Institutional Changes which occurred in the marine insurance industry during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. It uses a context-specific game-theoretic model and contemporary evidence to substantiate the hypothesis that the industry was characterized by two dierent possible equilibrium sets of institutions, each of which, once selected, was stable. Institutional Change in the industry is interpreted as a path-dependent process in which exogenous shocks, caused primarily by the wars of the eighteenth century, periodically disturbed these equilibria, leading in some cases to transitions to new equilibria, and in others to endogenous Institutional Changes which led to the reinforcement and formalization of the existing equilibria.
