(Bob) Hinings -- Imageries of corporate social responsibility : visual recontextualization and field-level meaning / Markus A. Höllerer ... [et al.] -- Logic pluralism, organizational design, and practice adoption : the structural embeddedness of CSR programs / Mary Ann Glynn, Ryan Raffaelli -- Strange brew : bridging logics via institutional bricolage and the reconstitution of organizational identity / Lærke Højgaard Christiansen, Michael Lounsbury -- Instantiation of institutional logics : the "business case" for diversity and the prevalence of diversity mentoring practices / Shawna Vican, Kim Pernell-Gallagher -- The internal complexity of market logics : financial sophistication and price determination / Vince Feng -- Taking stock of institutional complexity : anchoring a pool of institutional logics into the interinstitutional system with a descendent hierarchical analysis / Thibault Daudigeos, Amélie Boutinot, Stéphane Jaumier.
Summary: The institutional logics perspective is one of the fastest growing new theoretical areas in organization studies (Thornton, Ocasio & Lounsbury, 2012). Building on early efforts by Friedland & Alford (1991) to "bring society back in" to the study of organizational dynamics, this new scholarly domain has revived institutional analysis by embracing a focus on the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of institutions. In doing so, it has embraced a more practice-centered approach to agency that emphasizes situated interactions, the importance of history, the role of both symbolic and material elements, and the study of cross-level processes and mechanisms. This two volume set, seededby an ABC Network conference held in Banff, Alberta, CANADA in June 2012, provides a fresh set of papers by scholars at the cutting edge of research on institutional logics. As a whole, the papers provide many novel theoretical insights about institutional logics in actionfocusing on their dynamics, complexity, and evolving relationship to actors as actors actively navigate their social worlds.
