Abstract: | The study examines the role of professional associations in a changing, highly institutionalized organizational field and suggests that they play a significant role in legitimating change. A model of institutional change is outlined, of which a key stage is "theorization", the process whereby prganizational failings are conceptualized and linked to potential solutions. |
