AbstractChinese NGOs face strong coercive pressures and limitations yet have still emerged as notable actors in several issue areas. This article studies why and explains how a group of NGOs working on AIDS-related issues have been able to progress into relatively large and vibrant operations. It documents how NGO leaders have learned to navigate opportunities and risks, circumvent formal restrictions and broker pragmatic and largely informal arrangements that have enabled their organizations to grow and advance within China's authoritarian settings. The article contributes to the literature on Chinese NGO development and new institutionalism theory, and introduces a framework for studying NGOs based on their organizational forms and activities.

In the last years, organizational studies have developed a growing interest about institutionalization processes of new organizational forms, in order to understand the ways trough which innovative organizations, inter-organizational networks or organizing processes become stable and legitimized. The aim of this paper is to underline the potentialities of the action-nets approach (Czarniawska, 2004) in the study of institutionalization processes of innovative organizing forms. Firstly, the article focuses on the concept of action-nets, reporting two studies (Odds, 2005; Czarniawska, 2009) which have reconstructed the institutionalization processes of the same organizational form: The London School of Economics. Secondly, it underlines the innovations brought by action-nets approach in front of new institutionalism, the main current of studies that has contributed to understand the institutionalization's dynamics of new organizational forms. Finally, it concerns the development perspectives of action-nets, suggesting some useful directions to refine the theoretical and conceptual tools of this approach.

Effective Use

The article is devoted to the problems of innovative enterprise development. Since the Russian economy is in a state of financial and economic stagnation, there is a need to apply radically new innovative directions of business activities that ensure the effective use of financial potential within the framework of national projects. Practice shows that today the business sector in Russia is not able to provide a full-fledged demand for new technologies. Therefore, there is a need for substantial state support to provide centralized orders for high-tech industries. There are already examples of combining the efforts of a number of Autonomous economic entities to implement innovative reforms, new organizational forms of interaction have been formed, such as: centers for the implementation of innovative ideas; centers for engineering services; business incubators, etc. The subjects of these organizational forms of cooperation developed and proposed measures aimed at innovative solution of technological problems relevant to the regional economy, as well as for the country as a whole. Link for the efficient interaction of economic agents becomes an inherent characteristic, is the need of implementation of mechanisms of coordination with “network interaction”. It is important to note the fact that the existing relations and forms of regulation of various systems are not permanent, there are no strategic concepts aimed at long-term public and private cooperation.
