Periodic table of processes within organized activities[edit]

Choosing Formal Architecture[edit]

Weber — formalization
- Michels —fluid democratic process becomes formal oligarchy?
Simon — decomposing the problem
Coase — choosing market vs firm
- Williamson — choosing regulation vs auction, choosing U-form vs M-form, ...
- Hart — allocating control
analog of Coase for design of government?
- McNollgast — designing contestation procedures
- Mashaw — delegation
Holmstrom — incentive contract
White — agency vs. control

Other Determinants of Formal Architecture[edit]

Tilly — wars make states
- Skocopol — state capacity
Stinchcombe — imprinting
- Freeman & Hannan — inertia
Meyer & Rowan — symbolic adoption
DiMaggio & Powell — normative influence (e.g., from professions)
Tolbert & Zucker — mimetic diffusion
- Edelman — law & symbolic structure
- Kalev — bias and formalization
Soule — incorporating critics

Managing Informal Architecture[edit]

Kaufman — selection, socialization
March — managing coalition
Ostrom — building collaboration
Schein — leading culture and narrative
Edmondson — building psychological safety
Gibbons & Henderson — managing relational contracting
Kellogg — negotiating institutional change

Networks[edit]

Granovetter — reciprocation + trust
Powell — know-how & hybrids
Burt, Uzzi — resource access

Power and Politics[edit]

March, Cyert & March
- Pfeffer & Salancik — resource dependence
Blau, Emerson, Cook — exchange, dependence
Schelling — strategy of conflict
Merton — accumulative advantage
- Podolny — status dynamics
Hirschman — exit, voice, loyalty
- Roy, Burawoy — informal resistance
Carpenter — capture

Knowledge and Learning[edit]

Simon, March & Simon
Nelson & Winter — routines
- Feldman — dynamics of routines
Cohen & Levinthal — absorptive capacity
Orlikowski — knowing in practice
Padgett & Powell — innovation & invention

beyond this domain[edit]

unmanaged processes between organizations
- competition (& selection)
- Zuckerman — categorization
individual-level processes
- Simon — satisficing
- Goffman — impression management
