| Abstract: | From institutional theory, it is argued 1) that the competitive, or task environment may encourage divergence of management cognition between organizations, management functions and amongst senior managers, and 2) that the institutional environment may encourage cognitive convergence at the level of the industry, the strategic group and within institutionalized practices linked to management functions and level. Management cognition of competition and cognitive mapping methods are used to test a series of competing propositions amongst 32 managers in the UK personal financial services industry, an industry that evidences both task and institutional characteristics. |
