TY  - CHAP
AB - In this chapter, we have two aims: to review the first decade of research on institutional work,and to explore how the institutional work perspective can have a greater impact on institutions“that matter”. We structure our review around the “what”, “who” and “how” of institutionalwork to highlight key developments and identify problematic gaps. We find that scholarship inthis tradition has focused primarily on middle-range institutions with limited scope, relativelyhomogenous actor networks, and the use of symbolic work. This has come at the expense ofresearch on large-scale institutions with cross-field impacts, heterogeneous actor networks, andthe use of material as well relational work. We argue it will be crucial to address theseshortcomings if we are to enable the institutional work perspective to become a practical andimpactful tool for addressing major social problems. This chapter encourages scholars to developresearch on institutional work to tackle the challenges surrounding the institutions that matter.
