| Abstract: | This paper examines the process of isomorphic change. It does so by examining the dynamics of the change process and looking at change holistically. Using a population of 36 national-level sport organizations, subject to environmental pressures from a state agency to adopt a more professional and bureaucratic design, the paper shows that over time there is an increase in the level of homogeneity of these organizations. The processes by which the changes that occurred took place are explored. |
