| Tiivistelmä: | This paper presents a refined test of the institutional, political, and economic accounts of adoption of the multidivisional form (MDF) among large US industrial corporations in the 1960s. Results suggest that institutional processes substantially underpinned the MDF's diffusion during the 1960s. Firms producing in industries that shunned the MDF earlier in this century were slow to adopt this form in the 1960s. Firms with high debt-to-equity ratios, whose chief executives had elite business school degrees, and whose chief executives directors had nondirectional corporate board contacts with the directors of MDF firms adopted the MDF more frequently than other firms. The relationship between institutional, political and economic theories of formal organization in light of these results is discussed. |
