Institutional Strategies in Emerging Markets (2015, background): “As Boxenbaum and Battilana (2005) note, transporting managerial practices from one social context to another requires adaptation and, at times, the combination with local practices.”
Isomorphism, diffusion and decoupling: Concept evolution and theoretical challenges. (2008, result): “Similar findings are also reported in a number of empirical studies that investigate how initial practice variations developed into isomorphic patterns within bounded communities in the same heterogeneous field (Boxenbaum and Battilana 2005; Marquis et al. 2007; Schneiberg 2002).”
Agency and Institutions: A Review on Institutional Entrepreneurship (2009, background): “Because they can seldom change institutions alone, institutional entrepreneurs must typically mobilize allies (e.g. Boxenbaum and Battilana, 2005; Fligstein, 1997; Greenwood, Suddaby and Hinings, 2002), develop alliances and cooperation (Fligstein, 2001; Lawrence, Hardy and Phillips, 2002; Rao,…”

The government of self-regulation: on the comparative dynamics of corporate social responsibility (2011, background): “In fact, the isomophic pressures have been exerted, and the changes carried out by the so-called „CSR entrepreneurs‟ aiming either at reforming local institutions (Boxenbaum and Battilana, 2005; Boxenbaum, 2006) or”
Funding Financial Inclusion: Institutional Logics and the Contextual Contingency of Funding for Microfinance Organizations (2016, background): “Yet, we know that firms often operate in multiple environments (Vasudeva, Zaheer, & Hernandez, 2013) and that practices can shift in response to local contingencies (Boxenbaum & Battilana, 2005).”
Entrepreneurship in Emerging Markets (2011, methodology): “In the context of entrepreneurship in emerging markets, we conceptualize bridging institutional distance as the practice of translating (Sahlin-Anderson 1996) or transposing ( Boxenbaum and Battilana 2005 ) an institution between countries characterized by significant institutional differences in or”
