Discursive Patterns

Our aim was to verify the ‘institutional logics’ of corruption through the discursive patterns of managers. We conducted an exploratory survey using a qualitative-quantitative method. The interviews were submitted to content analysis, using the Atlas.TI software and the questionnaire was applied by SurveyMonkey. As a methodological contribution, four categories and levels for analyzing the logic of corruption were constructed: Individual, Organization, Networks, and Interinstitutional System. We infer that understanding the institutional logic of corruption can promote a transformation of corrupt behavior and an institutional change by individual cognition that can lead to practical change in society.

During the past two decades, institutionalists have raised questions about “how” and “why” institutions change. The explanation of the process of institutional change also has a set of conflicting views, assumptions and divergent voices of dissent (Scott, 2008). Mahoney and Thelen (2010) claim that the three dominant approaches to institutional theory, sociological, historical and rational, point to problems in the explanation of institutional change. Our main goal is to raise the discussion about the main currents that explain institutional change, and contribute by way of identify the challenges that the institutional approaches have. We believe that to understand the process of institutional change is necessary to understand the mechanisms underlying the processes by which institutional models prevailing in a social context (country or organization or field) also appear (or not) on another. Also, we propose the use of institutional logic for analysis of institutional change.Keywords: Institutional Change. Institutional Logics. Sociological Institutionalism. Rational Institutionalism. History Institutionalism. Resumo Nas últimas décadas, institucionalistas têm levantado questões sobre “como” e “por que” instituições se modificam. A explicação sobre o processo de mudança institucional possui ainda um conjunto de concepções conflituosas, pressupostos divergentes e vozes discordantes (SCOTT, 2008). Mahoney e Thelen (2010) afirmam que as três abordagens dominantes da teoria institucional, sociológica, racional e histórica apontam problemas na explicação sobre a mudança institucional. Nosso principal objetivo é suscitar a discussão acerca das principais correntes que explicam a mudança institucional e contribuir por meio da identificação dos desafios que as abordagens institucionalistas possuem em suas explicações. Consideramos que para entender o processo de mudança institucional é necessário compreender os mecanismos subjacentes aos processos pelos quais modelos institucionais predominantes em um contexto social (país ou organização ou campo) também surgem (ou não) em outro. Por fim,  propõe-se o uso da perspectiva de lógicas institucionais para análise da mudança institucional. Palavras-chave: Mudança Institucional. Lógicas Institucionais. Institucionalismo Sociológico.

AbstractSocial enterprises combine activities, processes, structures, and meanings associated with multiple institutional logics that may pose conflicting goals, norms, values, and practices. This in-depth multi-source case study of an ecological social enterprise in Malaysia reveals how the enactment of the family logic interacts with the market and ecological logics not only in conflicting but also in synergetic ways. By drawing attention to the institutional logic of the family in social entrepreneurship, this study highlights the heterogeneity of social enterprises. The findings have implications for research with social enterprises and family-owned firms in relation to the ethical obligations of these organizations and the interactions of multiple logics.

Market Changes

Drawing on concepts of institutional work, legitimacy, and institutional logics, we investigate why countercultural markets experience institutional change and the actions institutional work market actors perform to inform institutional logics and ensure the legitimacy of countercultural markets. Although previous research suggests market changes and disruption, little attention has been paid to markets that originate from different institutional backgrounds, changes in the market experience in relation to its legitimization, and institutional work to attain legitimacy. The case of indie music in South Korea illustrates the evolution of a cultural market from the introduction of its ethos, the crisis caused by legitimacy pressures, and the transformation of the market. Using data gathered through in-depth interviews with indie labels and music consumers in South Korea, and archival sources, our research illuminates the source of market struggle and theorizes approaches that market actors perform to overcome the struggle.

Summary This article argues that by using the European Union Delegation (EUD) in Sarajevo as an organisational proxy, the EU creates tools allowing it to participate in the enhancement of external administrative co-governance in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Inspired by the organisation theory approach, this article conceives of the EUD Sarajevo as a hybrid organisation. Such organisations are defined as a product of a combination of two sovereign organisations pursuing a common interest. They recombine multiple institutional logics, stimulate institutional change and spark innovative practices. The conceptualisation of the EUD Sarajevo as a hybrid organisation offers analytical insight for understanding the EU’s role in the society of states and allows us to theorise more concretely about the impact that a non-state actor has on the transformation of the institutions of diplomacy and sovereignty, which are foundational institutions of the international system of states.

Focusing on the institutional logics of the grocery industry, this paper argues that the “neighborhood effects” of a lack of resources provided by organizations to economically disadvantaged areas are moderated by institutional logics. From the 1930s to early 1970s, the grocery industry had a logic of “economies of scale.” A new “mix–margin” logic developed after the mid–1970s: using low margins on high–demand items to gain foot traffic needed to sell high–margin items. Using company–specific store location data (from 1970 to 1983), this paper analyzes whether differences in company philosophy affect their presence in economically disadvantaged zip codes. Results show that supermarkets were less likely to locate in economically disadvantaged zip codes when operating under a mix–margin philosophy. These results indicate a shift to a “mix–margin” institutional logic corresponded with an exodus from economically disadvantaged areas by the grocery industry after the mid–1970s.

The Subject

Although content analysis has traditionally been considered a quantitative method, it has been advocated in the methodological literature for its use in qualitative form as early as the middle of the 20th century. Nevertheless, much less methodological knowledge is available on the characteristics of qualitative content analysis and its application than on quantitative content analysis. The subject of this paper is a presentation of performing qualitative content analysis. First, different views of the qualitative form of the method are given, since there is no unique definition. Then, the basic steps of qualitative content analysis are presented, that is, the stages of application of the procedure, on which there is also no agreement, but no essential differences. Particular attention has been paid to the deductive and inductive approach of determining the categories of classification. The application of qualitative content analysis is illustrated by a survey of nostalgia of Serbian immigrants living in the Nordic countries. Finally, concluding considerations on performing a qualitative content analysis are summarized and the challenges ahead.

Quantitative Content

In Nigeria, the majority of content analysis research tends to tilt towards the dominant quantitative method. This technique now seems overly used, overspent, and unoriginal. This paper reviews content analysis as an empirical research method that is used to study the content of text in order to make inferences that are based on findings. The plethora of quantitative content analysis research writings are predominantly on the study of newspapers with research objectives that rotate around depth, direction, frequency and prominence. This paper in a bid to critique this overly used method of writing, provided description of Content Analysis as a research method, explained the goals/objectives of content analysis as well as underscored the various qualitative methodological types. Furthermore, the uses of content analysis in relation to text were explained. This paper concluded that the content analysis research method is under-used and that there is an abundance of communication branches where the research method needs to be applied.

The Impact

This article proposes comparing nonprofit news organizations that prioritize social welfare goals with the hybrid organizational form that mixes the institutional logics of charities and business enterprises: the Social Enterprise. The institutional logic comprises organizing templates, patterns of actions and values. These Social News Enterprises (SNEs) are analyzed as hybrids mixing the institutional logics of commercial, public, and alternative news media. Financed by donations and the revenue from services, SNEs engage in public, investigative, and explanatory journalism. Normative behavioral principles of SNEs are used to compare the impact-based model of ProPublica with the growth-focused model of The Texas Tribune.
