Wie geht es weiter mit dem soziologischen Neo-Institutionalismus?

Eine kritische Auseinandersetzung

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Zur Zukunft der Organisationssoziologie

Part of the book series: Organisationssoziologie ((ORGANISAT))

Zusammenfassung

Der soziologische Neo-Institutionalismus gehört in der Organisationsforschung zu den derzeit dominierenden Theorien. Diese Theorie hat mit ihren Begriffen und Konzepten viele empirische und theoretische Projekte der Organisationsforschung angetrieben. Trotzdem werden erhebliche Baustellen sichtbar, die es zu bearbeiten gilt. Dieser Beitrag stellt die grundlegenden Theoriebausteine kurz vor, greift aktuelle Weiterentwicklungen auf und identifiziert die Kernprobleme der Theorie auf drei analytischen Ebenen, der Mikro-, der Meso- und der Makroebene. Dabei wird deutlich, dass es diese Probleme konstruktiv anzugehen gilt, um die bislang ungenutzten Potentiale des soziologischen Neo-Institutionalismus freizulegen.
