Definición

  • Organizational field has been employed widely in organization studies to define a set of organizations that, in the aggregate, constitute a recognized area of institutional life, including key suppliers, resource and product consumers, regulatory agencies, and other organizations that produce similar services or products. On the basis of this definition, developed by DiMaggio and Powell in 1983, DiMaggio has called attention to the fact that the structure of an organizational field must be defined on the basis of empirical investigation because such a structure exists only to the extent that it is institutionally defined.
