Summary
Stanford University hosted a renaissance in organizational theory in the years between 1970 and 2000, when four of today's five leading macro organizational paradigms were being fleshed out there - institutional theory, population ecology, organizational culture theory, and resource dependence. Important breakthroughs occurred in theory development, and several generations of doctoral and post-doctoral students received enhanced training and an extraordinary opportunity to build collegial networks. Students of organizations have long asked, What was it about that place and era that spawned this proliferation of new ideas?
