自19世纪世纪中期以来，正式组织本身就被建构为一个合法的集体行动者。它是如何崛起，与民族国家并列，成为现代社会集体行动的主要形式之一的？作者认为，启蒙运动的科学认识论提供了一个模型，在这个模型中，社会世界和自然世界一样，通过形式的分类和特定实例的列举来理解。个人通过同构的符号化主张一种普遍的形式，通过文化身份的符号化列举个人身份，有意识地创造了现代组织。新制度理论记录了第一个过程，而组织理论记录了第二个过程。作者认为，这两种理论强调了一个单一过程的不同方面：组织作为集体行动者的社会发明。
Since the middle of the 19th century, the formal organization has been constructed as a legitimate collective actor in and of itself. How did it rise to sit alongside the nation-state as one of the principal forms of collective action in modern society? The authors argue that the scientific epistemology of the Enlightenment provided a model in which the social world, like the natural world, was to be understood through the classification of forms and the enumeration of particular instantiations. Individuals deliberately created the modern organization by asserting a universal form through the symbolization of isomorphism and by enumerating individual identities through the symbolization of cultural identity. Neoinstitutional theory documents the first process, whereas organizational theory documents the second. The authors argue that these two theories highlight different aspects of a single process: the social invention of the organization as collective actor.
