Describe the theoretical process of institutional isomorphism according to DiMaggio and Powell. How does this process potentially affect individual workers in the economy? Be sure to include examples to support your position.
Paul DiMaggio and Walter Powell developed the concept of institutional isomorphism. They proposed three
mechanisms for organizational change: 1) coercive isomorphism that
stems from political influence and the problem of legitimacy; 2) mimetic
isomorphism resulting from standard responses to uncertainty; and 3)
normative isomorphism, associated with professionalization.
