“…Topic modeling returns a solution in the form of a pre-specified set of ‘topics’, that is, groups of words that tend to co-occur more frequently across documents (DiMaggio et al, 2013; Mohr and Bogdanov, 2013). Running the algorithm is only the first step in the exploration of meaning structures underlying any large data corpus, and researchers need to interpret the outputs of the algorithm (Bail, 2014; Jha and Beckman, 2017; Mohr et al, 2013).…”

Feminism in women’s business networks: A freedom-centred perspective

How do women’s business networks (WBNs) help to advance women’s freedom? Drawing on Zerilli’s freedom-centred feminism, our study sets out to answer this question at the intersection of freedom, feminism and work. Critics argue that WBNs promote a postfeminist view of freedom focusing on individual self-realisation and thus participate in rolling back collective, feminist efforts to dismantle structural inequalities. We reconceptualize WBNs as political arenas and argue that making claims about shared interests and concerns in such an arena constitutes a feminist practice of freedom. With an original, inductive and qualitative research design combining topic modeling and dialectical analysis, we examine the claims made in 1,529 posts across four WBN blogs. We identify postfeminist claims and new forms of change and transformation that can help to advance women’s freedom across three ‘dialectics of freedom’: conformity and imagination; performative care and relational care; sameness and openness. Our findings show that uncertain and contradictory ways of defining and engaging with women’s freedom can emerge through claim-making in such arenas. The fragility of the process and its outcomes are, then, what can move feminism forward at work and beyond.

Jha and Beckman (2017) examined the role of institutional logics and the identities of founding actors in the emergence and legitimation of charter schools in California.

“…Population ecology studies have focused on density dependence in explaining the emergence of the form (Amburgey & Rao, 1996;Divarcı Çakmaklı, Boone & Van Wittelosstujin, 2020;McKendrick & Caroll, 2001) have accumulated an impressive set of quantitative evidence on the establishment of forms (Bogaert et al, 2016). Institutional theory studies, on the other hand, have explained the emergence of a form how it spreads over time and gains legitimacy by associating it with institutional change and institutional logics (Jha & Beckman, 2017;Mutch, 2021;Riaz & Quereshi, 2017) But these theories do not clearly explain the process of emergence, although they indicate the emergence of an organizational form. We argue that the perspective of coevolution is more appropriate to explain the process leading up to the appearance of a new form, the interactions of actors in this process, the dynamics and mechanisms.…”

This study aims to reveal the emergence of technoparks as a new organizational form, the conditions, and actors effective in this process from the perspective of coevolution. Following the exploratory nature of the research, we preferred a qualitative method and collected the data through document analysis and semi-structured interviews. The findings showed that the technopark form emerged in a coevolutionary process. Moreover, the transition to a free-market economy on January 24 in 1980 is the event that initiated the coevolution process. Then, conditions such as ensuring university-industry collaboration triggered the interaction between the actors in the emergence process of technoparks. Also, we revealed that Technology Development Center was the catalyst that accelerated the process, and METU Technopark, which was established before the law, was a proto form. Furthermore, the government shaped the functioning of the form with the law it enacted. Our study contributes to the literature explaining that in an institutional environment how environmental changes and conditions trigger interactions between actors and how the outcomes of the actors' interaction reveal technoparks as a new organizational form.
