Abstract

This chapter explores how coercive, mimetic, and normative institutional pressures influence organizational learning and memory. It presents a comprehensive framework that elucidates the impact of these pressures on organizational behavior, mainly focusing on how they drive compliance, adaptation, and the adoption of best practices. Coercive pressures enforce legal and ethical standards, mimetic pressures encourage the emulation of successful peers, and normative pressures embed industry norms and values into organizational culture. The chapter integrates key theories and empirical studies to highlight the synergistic effects of these pressures, offering practical insights and research propositions to enhance organizational adaptability and resilience in dynamic environments.
