Routledge - The Institutional Theory of the Firm - Book

Explore the complex relationship between organizations and their environments with The Institutional Theory of the Firm. Part of the Routledge Studies in Management, Organizations and Society series, this text examines organization theory literature to present the concept of embedded autonomy. This book explains how a firm remains anchored in corporate legislation and regulatory practices across national, regional, and transnational levels. It explores how organizations function within the European Union and other regulatory models while maintaining the right to operate with significant degrees of freedom. By studying the balance between legal-regulatory constraints and operational independence, readers gain a deeper understanding of the theoretical views regarding corporate autonomy in modern society.
