TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that rational actors make their organizations increasingly similar as they try to change them, and describe three isomorphic processes-coercive, mimetic, and normative.
Abstract: What makes organizations so similar? We contend that the engine of rationalization and bureaucratization has moved from the competitive marketplace to the state and the professions. Once a set of organizations emerges as a field, a paradox arises: rational actors make their organizations increasingly similar as they try to change them. We describe three isomorphic processes-coercive, mimetic, and normative—leading to this outcome. We then specify hypotheses about the impact of resource centralization and dependency, goal ambiguity and technical uncertainty, and professionalization and structuration on isomorphic change. Finally, we suggest implications for theories of organizations and social change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors stellt Netzwerke als Form der Primarorganisation vor, von der sich Unternehmungen selbst in turbulenten Umwelten eine dauerhafte Sicherung strategischer Wettbewerbsvorteile versprechen.
Abstract: Dieser Beitrag stellt Netzwerke als Form der Primarorganisation vor, von der sich Unternehmungen selbst in turbulenten Umwelten eine dauerhafte Sicherung strategischer Wettbewerbsvorteile versprechen. Diese Form ist mit der jungeren organisatorischen Forderung nach einer konsequenten Prozessorientierung nicht nur vereinbar, sondern kann geradezu als logische Konsequenz der Umsetzung dieses Organisationsprinzips gelten. Obwohl es zweckmasig erscheint, verschiedene Netzwerktypen zu unterscheiden, konnen dieser Organisationsform okonomischer Aktivitaten generell bestimmte Chancen und Risiken zugeschrieben werden. Zudem konnen vier basale Managementfunktionen identifiziert werden, deren kompetente Wahrnehmung einem Netzwerkversagen vorbeugen kann. Die Problematik des Managements von Netzwerkorganisationen wird dabei mit Blick auch auf die erforderlichen Managementkompetenzen und -instrumente, aber auch mit Blick auf das Verhaltnis von Netzwerkmanagement und Netzwerkentwicklung einerseits sowie von Unternehmungs-und Netzwerkorganisation andererseits analysiert. Abschliesend werden Stand und Perspektiven der Managementforschung zur Netzwerkorganisation resumiert.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an integrated framework for the analysis of higher education governance which allows us to more systematically trace the changes that European higher education systems are currently undergoing and argue that, despite highly insightful previous analyses, there is a need for more specific empirically observable indicators of policy change and inertia.
Abstract: In this article we provide an integrated framework for the analysis of higher education governance which allows us to more systematically trace the changes that European higher education systems are currently undergoing We argue that, despite highly insightful previous analyses, there is a need for more specific empirically observable indicators of policy change and inertia We therefore propose a systematic classification of empirical indicators of higher education governance To do so, we look at three historically entrenched and still highly relevant European models of higher education—academic self-governance, the state-centered model and the market-oriented model Based on these broader overarching models which reflect the tensions between the state, market and academia, we develop three ideal-types that take internal university governance as well as the role of the state and external stakeholders into account Against this background, we derive empirical indicators with regard to the institutional balance of power, financial governance, personnel autonomy and substantive matters Our analytical contribution shall enable scholars, and in particular political and social scientists, to trace ongoing patterns of change and convergence as well as persistence and inertia in higher education governance arrangements
