| Tiivistelmä: | This paper analyzes longitudinal data from 1971 to 1986 for 631 private liberal arts colleges facing strong institutional and increasingly strong technical environments. The findings reveal surprisingly little support for neoinstitutional predictions: (1) Many colleges changed in ways contrary to institutional demands by professionalizing or vocationalizing their curricula, (2) global and local technical environmental conditions were strong predictors of the changes observed, (3) schools became less, rather than more, homogeneous over time, (4) schools generally did not mimic their most prestigious conterparts, (5) the illegitimate changes had no negative performance consequences for enrollment and survival. |
