Sample text

This question, we believe, points to the confusion raised earlier over the idea of isomorphism. As initially proposed, isomorphism refers to the relationship between an organization and its institutional context. But, isomorphism was (and still is, unfortunately) often taken to mean that all organizations will respond in the same way. Yet, organizations confront institutional contexts containing multiple and inconsistent myths that allow for multiple yet equally legitimate responses (a feature explicitly recognized by Meyer & Rowan, 1977: 356 and by Scott, 1983: 161).

G. Staw & Epstein, 2000; Pollock & Rindova, 2003). The important point is that greater specificity was being introduced (see Deephouse & Suchman, Chapter 1 this volume). Interest in legitimacy also led to a call for better empirical measures. Zucker (1989) had questioned the use of density (the number of organizations with a particular arrangement) and called for better proxies of cognitive legitimacy. In the mid 1990s, this argument flared into a spirited debate between Baum and Powell (1995) and Hannan and Carroll (1995) with the former advocating use of richer and multiple measures, such as certification contests, credentialing mechanisms, training programmes, and so forth.

In this second usage the institutional context is not one of ideas and symbols but of agencies and policies. By the end of the 1980s, Baron et al. thus illustrate how the term institution had acquired two meanings: as rationalized myths within a cultural context; and as a framework of (primarily State) regulatory agencies and policies. The former is the focus of Meyer and Rowan (1977). The latter would become the focus of the confusingly termed ‘new institutionalism’ (see, for example, Ingram & Inman, 1996; Ingram & Clay, 2000; Ingram & Silverman, 2002).
