What is institutional theory and how do digital technologies impact organisational behaviour? 

What we will cover

In this session, we are going to learn about the key concepts of institutional theory, a leading theory to explain behaviour in organisations. We will examine a framework prepared by Richard Scott, which shows in detail how to identify institutional barriers in organisations. The framework allows us to explore the role of artefacts when diffusing standardised behaviour. We will carry out an exercise together to better understand, in particular, the role of digital technologies in diffusing institutionalised behaviour within the organisation and across organisations.
