Abstract
Institutional literature focuses on institutional stability and inertia (DiMaggio & Powell, 1983) contend that institutionalization brings about a homogenization of organizations. This process - called “isomorphism”- arises from the need for organizations to respond to environmental expectations, guarantee their survival and increase their success possibilities in a particular environment. Isomorphism emerges through three different mechanisms: coercive, normative and mimetic (DiMaggio and Powell, 1983) and Scott (1995) argued that legitimacy is based on three pillars: regulative, normative and cognitive. The chapter has the objective to analyze Sustainability reporting in SGR group-Italy and Bulgaria using neo-institutional theoryI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
