Question

Your university recently completed a new state-of-the-art student center, complete with bowling alleys, fast-food outlets, group study space, and the latest green technology. Shortly after it was finished, almost every other university in your state began clamoring for a new student center, too. How would the theory of institutional isomorphism explain this?

Answer 1

Answer:

The theory of institutional isomorphism explains the situation described in the problem as a form of homogenization among institutions.

Explanation:

Isomorphism applied to similar structures or processes. Institutional isomorphism, therefore means that there are similarities between organizations or institutions that resulted from the imitation of development under same conditions. Competition can also be involved in which one institution does not want to be at a disadvantage from another.
