We seek to answer the questions: “What ma kes a configuration a configuration?” and “Why does the configuration exist?” Classic control theory discusses the technical and environmental requirements for control based on various contingencies. However\, our co nfigurations were not predicted by contingency theory: the control configu rations did not change based on dominant theory. Instead our results suppo rt three different theories (institutional theory\, upper echelon theory\, and life cycle theory) for the three of the four control configuration ch anges. Our findings lead to questions about how much of control theory app lies to organizational founding\, early organization evolution\, and to st able situations where other factors might predict control configuration sh ifts.Bio\nDr. Laura B.
