Encouraging Trade at the Boundary of Organizational Culture and Institutional Theory
Abstract
In this essay, we reflect on the contributions to this dialogue. We focus on highlighting opportunities for deepening our
understanding of cultural phenomena and institutions through work on the border between the two theories. Two avenues
are promising: deepening our understandings of process in order to better explain cultural and institutional dynamics and
attending to (surprising) levels of analysis such as local institutions and global cultures. The contributors to this dialogue have
provided examples of the potential benefits gained through work at the borders of organizational culture and institutional
theory, and in so doing have begun to answer some of the questions that instigated this exchange, suggesting paths forward,
and we hope, instigating exchange.
