Organizational adaptation and inverse trajectories: two cities and their film festivals

Carmelo Mazza and Jesper Strandgaard Pedersen

Chapter 11 in New Themes in Institutional Analysis, 2017, pp 282-304 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Carmelo Mazza and Jesper Strandgaard Pedersen explore the role of timing for field-configuring events. In particular, they explore how big cities lately adopting the practice of international film festivals differ in the way they enact the vision of an international film festival with contents and practices primarily stemming from institutionalized standards. In their study of two festivals in two geographically and socially distinct contexts, Italy and its capital city, Rome, and Denmark and its capital city, Copenhagen, they show that time seems to be a factor that increases the variety of practices within a field. Contrary to conventional wisdom in institutional theory, late adopters may bring ideas of innovation and different practices, rather than producing homogeneity in field-configuration processes.
