Abstract

Institutional logics are interrelated sets of cultural elements (norms, values, beliefs, and symbols) that help people and organizations make sense of their everyday activities and order those activities in time and space. In this paper, we describe the rise of a robust literature on institutional logics, which mostly focuses on Western societies. We then describe changes in Chinese society and economy over the past four decades, as it shifted from state-controlled planning and redistribution to market-mediated exchange. We detail how the institutional logics that guide Chinese firms have been transformed in the wake of the economic transition. The state logic, which developed in the Maoist era, valorizes equality, national community, and political stability. Although it is still in evidence, it has been partly supplanted by a market logic that encourages efficiency, competition, and property rights. But this market logic differs from the one that prevails in Western capitalist economies. The Chinese version of the market logic valorizes the central role that the state and the Communist Party continue to play in economic life. Therefore, in the Chinese version of the market logic, efficiency, competition, and property rights are tempered by a continued concern for political stability. We review and summarize the existing literature on institutional logics and Chinese firms, and then identify fruitful lines that future research could take.
制度逻辑:激励行动,克服变革阻力
制度逻辑是一组相互关联的文化元素(规范、价值观、信仰和符号),它们帮助人们和组织理解他们的日常活动,并在时间和空间上安排这些活动。在本文中,我们描述了关于制度逻辑的大量文献的兴起,这些文献主要集中在西方社会。然后,我们描述了中国社会和经济在过去四十年中的变化,因为它从国家控制的计划和再分配转变为市场调节的交换。我们详细介绍了引导中国企业的制度逻辑是如何随着经济转型而转变的。毛时代发展起来的国家逻辑强调平等、民族共同体和政治稳定。尽管它仍然存在,但它已部分被鼓励效率、竞争和产权的市场逻辑所取代。但这种市场逻辑不同于西方资本主义经济中盛行的逻辑。中国版的市场逻辑强调了国家和共产党在经济生活中继续发挥的核心作用。因此,在中国版本的市场逻辑中,效率、竞争和产权受到对政治稳定的持续关注的制约。我们回顾和总结了制度逻辑和中国企业的现有文献,然后确定了未来研究可以采取的富有成效的路线。
