Using blockmodel analysis, we explore both perspectives in the context of interorganizational networks among private development organizations in Africa and examine underlying motivations of participation. In an effort to understand contextual effects, we add qualitative observations of both networks. Although overall our results support Michels's oligarchy thesis, we find that contextual factors and path dependencies can override interorganizational dynamics that would otherwise lead to either success or failure. Thus our results support key aspects of neoinstitutionalism in organizational studies.}, language = {en} } @article{AnheierGerhardsRomo, author = {Anheier, Helmut K. and Gerhards, J{\"u}rgen and Romo, Frank P.}, title = {Forms of Capital and Social Structure in Cultural Fields: Examining Bourdieu's Social Topography}, series = {American Journal of Sociology}, volume = {100}, journal = {American Journal of Sociology}, number = {4}, publisher = {University of Chicago Press}, address = {Chicago}, issn = {0002-9602}, pages = {859 -- 903}, abstract = {This article tests one key assumption of Bourdieu's theory of culture fields: that actors are positioned in a "topography" of social relations according to their endowments of economic, social, and cultural capital. Blockmodeling procedures are used to analyze data on German writers and to indentify a social structure in which positions vary according to the types and amounts of capital accumulated. A strong split between elite and marginal writers dominates the social structure, and even the fundamental distinction between high and low culture is embedded in this bipartition. Significant differences in both cultural and social capital distinguish elite from nonelite positions; within this bipartition, pronounced differences in cultural capital separate high and low culture. Relative to cultural and social capital, economic capital plays a lesser role in understanding the social structure of cultural fields.}, language = {en} } @techreport{RomoAnheier, type = {Working Paper}, author = {Romo, Frank P. and Anheier, Helmut K.}, title = {The Omega Phenomenon: The Social Infrastructure, Interpersonal Choice and the Social Periphery}, series = {(The Russell Sage Foundation Working Papers; 16)}, journal = {(The Russell Sage Foundation Working Papers; 16)}, publisher = {Russell Sage Foundation}, address = {New York}, language = {en} } @incollection{RomoAnheier, author = {Romo, Frank P. and Anheier, Helmut K.}, title = {Success and Failure in Institutional Development}, series = {When Things Go Wrong: Failures, Bankruptcies, and Breakdowns in Organizations}, booktitle = {When Things Go Wrong: Failures, Bankruptcies, and Breakdowns in Organizations}, publisher = {Sage}, address = {Los Angeles [u.a.]}, isbn = {9780761910480}, pages = {215 -- 240}, language = {en} } @incollection{AnheierRomo, author = {Anheier, Helmut K. and Romo, Frank P.}, title = {Stalemate: A Study of Structural Failure}, series = {When Things Go Wrong: Failures, Bankruptcies, and Breakdowns in Organizations}, booktitle = {When Things Go Wrong: Failures, Bankruptcies, and Breakdowns in Organizations}, publisher = {Sage}, address = {Los Angeles [u.a.]}, isbn = {9780761910480}, pages = {241 -- 272}, language = {en} } @incollection{AnheierRomo, author = {Anheier, Helmut K. and Romo, Frank P.}, title = {Foundations in Germany and the United States: A Comparative Analysis}, series = {Private Funds, Public Purpose: Philanthropic Foundations in International Perspectives}, booktitle = {Private Funds, Public Purpose: Philanthropic Foundations in International Perspectives}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin [u.a.]}, isbn = {978-0306459474}, pages = {79 -- 118}, language = {en} } @incollection{AnheierRomo, author = {Anheier, Helmut K. and Romo, Frank P.}, title = {Democratic Organizational Development: Elite Control, Free Riders and the Social Infrastructure}, series = {Politics, Society and Democracy: Comparative Studies; Essays in Honor of Juan Linz}, booktitle = {Politics, Society and Democracy: Comparative Studies; Essays in Honor of Juan Linz}, publisher = {Westview Press}, address = {Boulder, CO}, isbn = {978-0813385495}, pages = {89 -- 110}, language = {en} }
