Synopsis
The notion of microfoundations has received growing
interest in neo-institutional theory (NIT) along with an increasing interest in
microfoundational research in disciplines such as strategic management and
organizational economics. However, despite reference to the same term, there
are decisive differences in how microfoundations have been addressed across
different disciplines.
The aim of this double volume is to explore in more
depth what the microfoundations of institutions are and what it takes to
actually develop sound microfoundations. To this end, this double volume sets
off by exploring the recent well-spring of micro-level research in NIT (i.e.,
research on the individual, practice and group level). While intimately
related, micro-level research and microfoundations are not necessarily the same
thing. Hence, the double volume seeks to bring to the fore different
perspectives in micro-level research in order to tease out what these
perspectives imply for building microfoundations, where they converge and where
they diverge.
