Abstract
In terms of conceptual background, this study is based on the new institutional theory and strategic management theories, which have been increasingly studied in the field of organization and management in general. According to the new institutional theory, the institutional environment is an environment which includes the structures, rules and norms formed on and outside the organizations. In this context, the basic thesis of the new institutional theory is the assumption that the organizations operate under institutional influences and that the structures and processes of organizations become uniform by their adaptation to the corporate environment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine whether there is a similarity or differentiation between the strategic intentions of the organizations in the same institutional environment. For this purpose, the basic assumptions of new institutional theory and strategic management approaches were tested by examining the strategic plans of foundation universities using content analysis method in March 2012 and in November 2018.Creating of themes on the concept of strategic intent, expressions of strategic intent were identified by the authors. Findings of the study suggest that there are different levels of isomorphism between the strategic plans of foundation universities.
Özet
Bu çalışmanın amacı aynı kurumsal çevredeki örgütlerin stratejik niyetleri arasında benzerlik olup olmadığını incelemektir. Bu amaçla, vakıf üniversitelerinin stratejik planları içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılarak 2012 yılı Mart ayında ve 2018 yılı Kasım ayında incelenmiş ve yeni kurumsal kuram ve stratejik yönetim yaklaşımlarının temel varsayımları test edilmiştir. Çalışmada “stratejik niyet” kavramına ilişkin temalar oluşturulmuş ve temalara ilişkin “stratejik niyet” belirten ifadeler yazarlar tarafından ilgili yazın dikkate alınarak tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular vakıf üniversitelerinin stratejik planları arasında farklı düzeylerde eşbiçimlilik olduğunu göstermektedir.
