Institutions and Organizations de W. Richard Richard Scott

Institutions and Organizations

Autor W. Richard Richard Scott
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 sep 2013

Observăm că succesul unei organizații nu depinde doar de resurse, ci și de modul în care aceasta navighează prin structurile sociale și culturale complexe. În Institutions and Organizations, W. Richard Richard Scott propune un model analitic robust, cunoscut sub numele de „cei trei piloni ai instituțiilor”. Acest cadru funcționează deoarece oferă o metodă sistematică de a decoda mediul extern, analizând cum forțele reglementare (legile), cele normative (valorile) și cele cultural-cognitive (modelele mentale) dictează comportamentul organizațional. Suntem de părere că această a patra ediție este esențială pentru a înțelege cum ideile, interesele și identitățile se întrepătrund pentru a modela agenția umană în cadrul sistemelor birocratice.

Dacă Institutional Theory de Ronald L. Jepperson v-a oferit cadrul teoretic al neoinstituționalismului sociologic, această carte oferă instrumentele practice de aplicare a acestor concepte în managementul modern. Apreciem rigoarea cu care W. Richard Richard Scott sintetizează contribuții din economie și științe politice, transformând o disciplină abstractă într-un instrument de diagnostic organizațional.

Structura volumului reflectă o progresie logică: primele capitole recuperează moștenirea primilor instituționaliști, pentru ca ulterior să detalieze construcția instituțională și procesele specifice care au loc în interiorul „câmpurilor organizaționale”. Capitolele dedicate purtătorilor (carriers) și logicilor instituționale clarifică modul în care normele sunt transmise și asimilate, oferind cititorului o imagine coezivă asupra dinamicii puterii și legitimității în afaceri. Este un text care nu se limitează la teorie, ci evaluează direcțiile viitoare de cercetare, fiind un ghid indispensabil pentru orice specialist în managementul strategic.

De ce să citești această carte

Această carte este destinată liderilor și cercetătorilor care doresc să înțeleagă forțele invizibile ce guvernează succesul instituțional. Cititorul va câștiga un cadru analitic clar (cei trei piloni) pentru a evalua conformitatea și adaptarea strategică. Este un instrument esențial pentru a trece de la o viziune pur economică a managementului la una sociologică, mult mai ancorată în realitățile culturale actuale.

Descriere scurtă

Creating a clear, analytical framework for readers, Institutions and Organizations: Ideas and Interests, Fourth Edition continues to reflect the richness and diversity of institutional thought, viewed both historically and as a contemporary, ongoing field of study. By presenting the differences as well as the underlying commonalities of institutional theories, this book presents a cohesive view of the many flavors and colors of institutionalism. It evaluates and clarifies developments in both theory and research while identifying future research directions. Key Features:
- Elaborates on the three pillars of institutions as part of a larger framework and sheds light on the interplay between institutions and social systems
Includes a detailed discussion between three differing explanations and approaches of institutionalization—economic, sociological, and neo-institutional scholars in organizational studies
- Examines how symbols, relations, routines, artifacts, and other carriers transmit institutional arrangements across time and space
- Devotes a chapter to the theoretical and practical significance of organization fields
Emphasizes the best and most recent theoretical and empirical contributions in each chapter

Recenzii

“This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of previously divergent theoretical perspectives in the study of institutions and organizations. Concise, clear, and insightful, the book is the best short introduction to institutional theory in general and the contributions made particularly by sociologists. This book also contributes to the construction of general tools for studying institutions and organizations by providing comprehensive analytic concepts and frameworks. . . . It will be one essential tool for my research and also my coursework.”
“Very well organized and logical flow of the chapters. . . . The author is very knowledgeable about the literature and does an effective job of integrating it into a framework for analysis. . . . I think it is one of the most comprehensive books on institutional theory.”
“This text is an excellent example of how a theoretical framework can be used to bring order to a complex field of study. The framework is supported with theory and can be used by students and practitioners to better understand their organizations.”
“. . . [I]t is the key overview text in the institutional field.”
“. . . [G]ood literature on institutional theory. . . . Keep up with the good work.”
The book offers readers a thought-provoking discussion of the relationship between institutions and organizations and how this impacts studies of the emergence of agency-driven strategies based on creative ideas, changing interests and multilayered identities. Perhaps one of the greatest contributions of the book, however, is that it pays homage to a holistic approach in international business studies, thus identifying the way forward for the next generation of theoretical enquiries in this area. This reviewer can recommend this book in the strongest terms possible. It provides a highly rewarding and provocative journey into new roads within international business studies as well as within social science in general.

Descriere

Creating a clear, analytical framework, this fully updated fourth edition of Institutions and Organizations: Ideas, Interests, and Identities, by W. Richard Scott, offers a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between institutional theory and the study of organizations. Reflecting the richness and diversity of institutional thought—viewed both historically and as a contemporary, ongoing field of study—this edition draws on the insights of cultural and organizational sociologists, institutional economists, social and cognitive psychologists, political scientists, and management theorists. The book reviews and integrates the most important recent developments in this rapidly evolving field and strengthens and elaborates the author’s widely accepted “pillars” framework, which supports research and theory construction. By exploring the differences as well as the underlying commonalities of institutional theories, the book presents a cohesive view of the many flavors and colors of institutionalism. It also evaluates and clarifies developments in both theory and research while identifying future research directions.
