== Periodic table of mechanisms ==


*Weber, Michels — rationalization (formalization)
*Simon — satisficing (by individuals?)

*Blau, Emerson, Cook — social exchange

*Meyer and Rowan — adopting and decoupling
*DiMaggio and Powell — convergent change
*Tolbert and Zucker — institutionalization
**Dara Cohen, Jeffrey Checkel — socialization
**Kellogg — negotiating institutional change
*Schelling — coercion and influence
**Pfeffer and Salancik — coercion
*Stinchcombe — imprinting
*Freeman and Hannan — inertia + selection
*Padgett and Powell — emerging & evolving (novelty, innovate/invent)
**Tilly — state formation
**Brian Arthur—evolving technologies
*Stinchcombe — imprinting
*Merton, Podolny — accumulative advantage


==== Choosing Formal Architecture ====
*Coase — choosing market vs firm
*Simon — decomposing problem
*Williamson — choosing auction vs regulation, choosing U-form vs M-form
*Hart — allocating control
*McNollgast — designing contestation procedures

==== Managing Informal Architecture ====
*March - coalition building
*Ostrom — building collaboration
*Granovetter — reciprocation + trust

*Kellogg — negotiating institutional change
*Gibbons — relational contracting


*David — path dependence
**James Mahoney — colonial legacies and development
*Orlikowski — knowing in practice
*Soule — diffusion through social movements
*Edelman — symbolically structure / comply
*Goffman — managing impressions
*Zuckerman — categorize
*Dobbin — inventing equal opportunity

==More verbs==

*March, Cohen, Levinthal — search
*Work (or provide effort)
*Vote

*Hirschman — voice
*Mashaw — delegate
