  • 1.  requiring help on empirical work in "theorization"

    Posted 03-05-2012 13:30
    Hi, 

    Greetings !

    I am writing this mail to seek guidance from the community. 

    My PhD work is on "theorization" ( Greenwood, Suddaby and Hinning, 2002) of adoption of divergent institutional logic by organizations in an emerging field. In this regard, it would be help if you can refer some empirical work in the area of "theorization". 

    with warm regards 

    Sushanta

    Dear Sushanta, another way of thinking
    about theorization is to think of theorizing as telling a story about what was, or what is, or what could be.
    Theorization within organizations is likely to be less formal, less structured, and less linear in practice.

    Dear Sushanta,

     

    We have a paper coming out in the April issue of Academy of Management Journal called "Fools Breaking Out: The Role of Symbolic and Material Immunity in Explaining Institutional Nonconformity" that builds on the work of Greenwood, Suddaby and colleagues in their various papers on theorizations. Using a multi-case study research design, one of the things we investigate is what the origins of different "theories of change" were among our cases. The core of the paper, however, talks about how these theories of change were important in explaining deviance from existing norms in the industry. You should be able to access the paper from the AMJ "in press" website.

     

    Hope this helps!

     

    With kind regards,

     

    Jan
