Despite the growing literature on professional associations (private, planned institutions intended to further the interests of business communities), we know little about how they form associational systems at the level of professional communities. Adopting a complementary theories congruence analysis approach, the author compares and combines the descriptive power of the central theories of the logics of membership and influence, and the recently proposed theory of the institutionalization of professional debates. Using document analysis and semi-structured interviews, he studies the associational system of Hungarian logistics, a densely institutionalized professional community which faced substantial regulatory and market challenges. The results highlight that the three theories explain different elements of the professional community’s complex institutionalization. The intellectual orders of professional debates and the transaction-based institutional logics of associations co-evolve, with the shifting regulatory context driving most institutional dynamics.</p></div></div></div></div> ER -
