Resumen de The adoption of institutionally constested organizational practices: The emergence of stock option pay in Germany

W .M. Gerard Sanders, Anja Tuschke

  • Examining the transnational diffusion of organizational practices from institutional environments in which they are legitimate to environments in which key institutional actors contest them, we contrast processes facilitating pioneering adoptions of contested practices with processes that diffuse the contested practices. Courageous adopters of contested practices are likely to have (1) exposure to high-status institutional environments in which the practices are legitimate and (2) experience with other contested practices. Regulatory legitimization and institutional isomorphism processes then diffuse the contested practices within an environment. The results of a study of stock option pay adoption among large German firms generally support our hypotheses.
