| description | This perspective paper combines institutional and industrial network theory to
develop a framework for analysing organisational legitimacy. The main subject,
Nokia China, is found to be sensitive to network-legitimating initiatives, with
consequences that accommodate multiple, conflicting stakeholders′ interests in
China′s politically sensitive and protective telecommunications market. This
paper offers new insights into institutional isomorphism that is manifested
empirically as incremental conformity to regulative processes, institutional
norms and cognitive knowledge and meanings within the environment, thereby
extending commonly held views of institutional theory to include organisational
legitimacy in industrial networks. |
