Transforming the Organization: The Cross-Disciplinary Implications of Unique Institutional Contexts

This symposium addresses the 2022 conference theme, specifically, the cross-disciplinary and longer-term implications of organizations’ unique institutional contexts. By better understanding them, and the recursive practices and intra-/inter-firm collaborations they stimulate, we can develop new paradigms on organizations’ strategic, operational and cultural issues. Critically, STR scholars will learn about an innovative framework for understanding superior performance. ODC scholars will learn about the unique institutionally-situated influences on organizational change. SAP scholars will learn about how managers and their people are addressing the market and non-market environments together. All of these scholars will gain insight into how they may better work with each other, across their respective areas of interest and expertise, to conduct process and action- oriented studies of complex change phenomena occurring at the micro-, meso- and macro-levels.
