The New Institutionalism in
Strategic Management
Advances
in Strategic Management • Volume 19 (Available June 2002)
Edited by
The idea that actors pursue
their interests within institutional constraints is the basis of a growing,
pan-disciplinary literature that seeks to explain the conduct and performance
of individuals, firms, and states. As the foundational theory about the nature
and operation of institutions has been established, and as evidence on the
operation and inter-relationship of alternative institutional forms has grown,
the tools available for constructing new institutional explanations have been
established. The accumulated research has reached a critical mass that is
creating theoretical and empirical opportunities.
These opportunities are
clearly apparent in the field of strategic management, where there is a recent
upswing in new institutional arguments. For example, recent strategy research
has examined the structure of interorganizational networks as a moderator of
knowledge transfer; legal constraint as an influence on organizational
performance in the transitioning economies of Eastern Europe; the emergence of
trust and its interplay with other mechanisms that govern exchange; the impact
of business groups on economic activity; and organizations' efforts to affect
the laws that structure their industries.
The goal of this volume is
to demonstrate that the new institutionalism is a coherent and important
approach to studying strategic management, and to encourage its development in
that regard.
Volume
19 (2002) is available from the publisher
and online retailers.
