Talk:Isomorphism (sociology)

Untitled
There are actually two types of isomorphisms - competitive and institutional. DiMaggio and Powell only wrote about institutional isomorphism. Hannan and Freeman (1977), Meyer (1979) and Fennel (1980) discussed competitive isomorphisms in more details.

what are normative, coercive and mimetic isomorphism? Comment Suggestion
The article says there are three types of institutional isomorphism, but doesn't define these terms. This should be a simple fix.

In addition, Mizruchi and Fein (1999) say these are not distinct types of isomorphism, but rather ways for isomorphism to merge. Robertekraut (talk) 19:52, 2 October 2015 (UTC)


 * The pages for these other types are very short stubs - I am therefore going to merge all three pages into this page. Amanda Lawrence 00:55, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
