Discussing "Discourse and Institutions": A reply to Lok and Wilmott

Article Abstract:

The intention of the original institutional thesis was to connect institutional theory to the latest developments in social constructionism by reframing institutionalization processes from a discursive perspective. It can be maintained that a discourse analytic approach provides an important avenue for the development of institutional theory, providing the necessary theoretical infrastructure to understand the nature of institutionalization and the dynamics of power that frame them.
