Institutional Entrepreneurship in Mature Fields: The Big Five Accounting Firms

Title: Institutional Entrepreneurship in Mature Fields: The Big Five Accounting Firms
Abstract/Description: This study examines change initiated from the center of mature organizational fields. As such, it addresses the paradox of embedded agency--that is, the paradox of how actors enact changes to the context by which they, as actors, are shaped. The change examined is the introduction of a new organizational form. Combining network location theory and dialectical theory, we identify four dynamics that form a process model of elite institutional entrepreneurship.
