The Institutional Logics Perspective: A New Approach to Culture, Structure and Process de Patricia H. Thornton

The Institutional Logics Perspective: A New Approach to Culture, Structure and Process

Autor Patricia H. Thornton, William Ocasio, Michael Lounsbury
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2012

Observăm în The Institutional Logics Perspective un efort teoretic remarcabil de a clarifica modul în care structurile sociale și sistemele simbolice modelează cogniția și acțiunea în cadrul organizațiilor. Punctul central al lucrării este definirea logicii instituționale nu doar ca un cadru abstract, ci ca un set de practici materiale și valori prin care indivizii organizează timpul, spațiul și experiența cotidiană. Autorii reușesc să transforme teoria instituțională clasică într-un instrument analitic dinamic, capabil să explice cum identitatea și comportamentul sunt influențate de multiple logici concurente.

Un element distinctiv al acestei ediții publicate de Oxford University Press este dezvoltarea micro-fundațiilor comportamentale. Credem că integrarea psihologiei cognitive în analiza sociologică reprezintă un pas esențial pentru înțelegerea antreprenoriatului instituțional. Structura cărții este susținută de numeroase tabele și figuri alb-negru care facilitează vizualizarea modelelor de heterogenitate culturală propuse. În contextul operei sale, Patricia H. Thornton extinde aici cadrul aplicat anterior în Markets from Culture, unde analiza se concentra pe schimbările de logică în industria editorială, oferind acum o sinteză teoretică mult mai vastă.

Comparativ cu abordările din Reframing Institutional Logics de Alistair Mutch, care utilizează resurse istorice pentru a critica limitările perspectivelor existente, volumul de față este mai degrabă orientat spre construcția unui model teoretic unificat. De asemenea, lucrarea extinde cadrul propus de Institutions and Organizations cu date noi despre procesele de emergență și persistență a logicilor, punând un accent mai mare pe legătura dintre macro-structuri și mecanismele cognitive individuale.

Despre autor

Patricia H. Thornton, William Ocasio și Michael Lounsbury sunt figuri centrale în studiile organizaționale contemporane. Patricia H. Thornton este recunoscută pentru cercetările sale de pionierat asupra modului în care logica de piață și cea editorială interacționează, temă explorată detaliat în volume precum Markets from Culture. William Ocasio a contribuit semnificativ la teoria atenției în organizații, în timp ce Michael Lounsbury este cunoscut pentru studiile sale despre antreprenoriat și schimbare instituțională. Împreună, cei trei autori sintetizează în acest volum decenii de cercetare academică, oferind o perspectivă interdisciplinară ce combină sociologia, managementul și psihologia.

Descriere

How do institutions influence and shape cognition and action in individuals and organizations, and how are they in turn shaped by them? Various social science disciplines have offered a range of theories and perspectives to provide answers to this question. Within organization studies in recent years, several scholars have developed the institutional logics perspective. An institutional logic is the set of material practices and symbolic systems including assumptions, values, and beliefs by which individuals and organizations provide meaning to their daily activity, organize time and space, and reproduce their lives and experiences. This approach affords significant insights, methodologies, and research tools, to analyze the multiple combinations of factors that may determine cognition, behaviour, and rationalities.In tracing the development of the institutional logics perspective from earlier institutional theory, the book analyzes seminal research, illustrating how and why influential works on institutional theory motivated a distinct new approach to scholarship on institutional logics. The book shows how the institutional logics perspective transforms institutional theory. It presents novel theory, further elaborates the institutional logics perspective, and forges new linkages to key literatures on practice, identity, and social and cognitive psychology. It develops the microfoundations of institutional logics and institutional entrepreneurship, proposing a set of mechanisms that go beyond meta-theory, integrating this work with macro theory on institutional logics into a cross-levels model of cultural heterogeneity. By incorporating current psychological understanding of human behaviour and linking it to sociological perspectives, it aims to provide an encompassing framework for institutional analysis, and to be an essential and accessible reference for scholars and advanced students of organizational behaviour, organization and management theory, business strategy, and cultural sociology.

Recenzii

In The Institutional Logics Perspective, Thornton, Ocasio, and Lounsbury have crafted a foundational treatise that will be a touchstone for future inquiry on logics. As an explanation for how actors, actions, and context come together in organizational and institutional settings, the institutional logics perspective has found a broad and diverse audience; this book will only widen its appeal. The authors break fresh theoretical ground and offer a solid conceptual footing for the study of logics; as such, the book has much to recommend it.
No concept in the field of organization studies has been more promising than that of institutional logics and no concept has been more elusive, at times to the point of evanescence. The authors bring institutional logics down to earth, unpacking the concept, tracing its history and exploring its ambiguities, identifying its component parts, and giving each the close attention it deserves. This much-needed and well-conceived volume provides an invaluable service to students of institutions and organizational fields.
The Institutional Logics Perspective is an essential road map to and program for the future development of theories of institutional logic. Thornton, Ocasio, and Lounsbury offer a host of uncharted, under-theorized, unthought, and unexplored causal mechanisms linking the macro and the micro, practice and interaction, value and identity. The authors lay out the inter-institutional system, the doubleness of rationality, the cultural contingency of interest, the ideality of material practice, and the ways in which we have mistakenly assumed that institution effaces agency and hence politics. We are going to have to think and work this text for a while.
Over the past generation, neoinstitutional theory has become perhaps the dominant perspective in the sociology of organizations. The institutional logics perspective has became an intriguing alternative that seeks to encompass and extend the insights of neoinstitutionalism to both lower and higher units of analysis. This book goes farther than any prior work in advancing the institutional logics perspective.
This book is a must-read. Thornton, Ocasio and Lounsbury take stock, in a poised and systematic manner, of what has been achieved so far by the Institutional Logics perspective. They also point to what remains to be done. Building on a rich heritage, the Institutional Logics perspective threads the path to new and exciting frontiers a multi-levels theory of institutions, the stabilization of solid micro-foundations, a refreshing return to history and the exploration of the dynamics of identities. The agenda is attractive and this book develops a highly useful road map.
