Organizations, Institutions, and Intellectual Norms: An Analytical Philosophy View of Institutional Change provides a new perspective on institutional theory by incorporating an analytical philosophy framework. This volume critiques the traditional assumptions that institutional logics or work inherently shape societal structures, arguing instead that intellectual norms and everyday language play a central role in the establishment, reproduction, and modification of institutions. It includes empirical studies on legal and regulatory changes in the US, examining the role of intellectual norms in shaping antitrust legislation, economic inequality policies, and bankruptcy law. The book introduces a groundbreaking analytical model that bridges institutional theory and analytical philosophy, offering a novel approach to understanding institutional change. Readers will benefit from the book’s comprehensive theoretical foundation combined with empirical case studies that substantiate the framework. It challenges established assumptions in management studies and social sciences, providing tools for scholars to reconsider how institutions are formed and justified.

This book is ideal for academics and researchers in management studies, social sciences, and philosophy, particularly those interested in institutional theory, legal frameworks, and intellectual norms. It also appeals to policy makers and professionals seeking to understand the deeper epistemic underpinnings of institutional change.

Alexander Styhre is Chair of Management and Organization, Department of Business Administration, in the School of Business, Economics and Law at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
