| Tiivistelmä: | In the present research, an institution is seen to be an (observable) pattern of collective action, justified by a corresponding norm. By this definition, an institution emerges slowly, even though it may be helped or hindered by a variety of specific acts. From this point of view, an institutional entrepreneur is an oxymoron, at least in principle. In practice, however, there are and always have been people who try to create institutions. This paper portrays the emergence of the London School of Economics and Political Science as an institution and analyzes its founders and supporters in the course of crises as institutional entrepreneurs. A tentative theory of the institutional entrepreneurship phenomenon is then constructed, combining elements of sociology of translation, actor-network theory and garbage can model. The conclusion is that the way institutional enterprises are narrated can differ from the way they are built, and a genre analysis might be of further help to understand this phenomenon. |
