| Tiivistelmä: | The early life history of an innovative bureau within a state regulatory commission is explored. The bureau's manipulation of symbols in myth building and the development of a ritual 'dramaturgy of exchange' through which the bureau assured its growth and survival in its interorganizational environment is described. It is suggested that certain features, such as the development of a dramaturgy of exchange and a system of ritual classification occur early in the process of institutionalization in societal sectors that are technically underdeveloped. |
