Organizations Coping with Their Natural Environment

Abstract

Through their activities, organizations have an impact upon the natural environment. When organizational members and stakeholders perceive this impact as problematic, organizations are motivated to develop routines to deal with it. In this article, we argue that the emergence and diffusion of these routines provide a rich empirical testing ground for institutional theory. We identifY three specific areas of institutional theory that could be advanced using this testing ground: (1) the relation between efficiency and institutionalization processes, (2) the link between micro and macro processes of institutionalization, and (3) the distinction between diffusion and translation.
