Abstract

Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag untersucht zwei neue Konzepte in der Neoinstitutionalistischen Organisationstheorie: Institutionalisierungsarbeit (Institutional Work) und feldkonfigurierende Veranstaltungen (Field-Configuring Events). Diese Theorieströmung vollzieht damit eine praxistheoretische Wende und gesteht Unternehmen mehr Möglichkeiten der Umweltbeeinflussung zu als der bisherige neoinstitutionalistische Determinismus, ohne jedoch in den methodologischen Individualismus zu verfallen. Der Beitrag untersucht kritisch die Quellen und Hintergründe dieser Theorieentwicklung und kommt zu dem vorsichtig optimistischen Fazit, dass es für die Betriebswirtschaftslehre ein theoretischer und methodischer Gewinn ist, Management als Institutionalisierungsarbeit zu verstehen.
