Resumen

Esta investigación es un intento de avanzar en la comprensión de por qué las organizaciones son sensibles a la institucionalización. Para ello, describimos los elementos clave que ayudan a explicar el origen del proceso corporativo de institucionalización. Además, se ha seguido una metodología de investigación cualitativa, utilizando la técnica del 'concept mapping', para agrupar en constructos los diferentes ítems que actúan como factores motivadores de la transformación de las organizaciones en instituciones. Metodológicamente hemos tratado de obviar la separación entre viejo y nuevo institucionalismo siguiendo a los autores que cuestionan la conveniencia de trazar una línea divisoria entre la "vieja" y la "nueva" teoría. Consideramos que el papel del CEO es esencial en el impulso del proceso de institucionalización, aunque en muchas ocasiones sus decisiones estén apoyadas o hayan pasado por el filtro de los equipos de gobierno de la organización o de los consejos de administración. Cualquier impulso que realice la organización dependerá fundamentalmente de las capacidades, las sensaciones, la formación y el modo de pensar del CEO.
Los resultados refuerzan varios de los temas claves sugeridos en la literatura sobre Teoría Institucional. En particular, se establece una clasificación con los motivos que dan origen a las iniciativas institucionales, a saber: autoridad institucional; ventaja en gestión; e, implicación social. Esta clasificación es coincidente, en una gran medida, con los pilares de la institucionalización que han sido definidos en la literatura de la teoría institucional, ayudando a comprender,
