  • Institutional logics provide a lens to understand the diverse rationalities embedded within different organizational fields.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the contributions of MacIntyre's concepts to neoinstitutional theory, particularly institutional logics.
  • To develop a typology of goods based on MacIntyre's concept of eudaimonia and its relation to internal and external goods.
