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.
