An Institutional Perspective on the Rise, Social Transformation, and Fall of a University Budget Category.

Covaleski, Mark A.; Dirsmith, Mark W.

Administrative Science Quarterly, v33 n4 p562-87 Dec 1988

Focusing on the University of Wisconsin budgeting system, this paper studies the interrelationship between political and institutional forces of conformity. Institutionalization processes as expressed through the budget seem to be infused with power and self-interest within the organization and in extraorganizational relations. Includes 64 references.
