New Article Published in the "Kölner Zeitschrift für Soziologie und Sozialpsychologie"

[Translate to Englisch:] KZfSS

Prof. Elke Schüßler (Institute of Organization Science) and Prof. Susanne Pernicka (Institute of Sociology/Department of Economic and Organizational Sociology) have co-published a new article titled "Between Disruption and Integration: Governance of Digital Platforms in the Passenger Transport Sector from a Field-Theoretical Perspective, opens an external URL in a new window". The article focuses on reconfiguring passenger transportation markets through digital platforms to understand to what extent new market players can impose their interests regarding governance of these markets. Inspired by Pierre Bourdieu’s social theory, they developed a field-theoretical approach that takes the interaction of endogenous and exogenous forces in struggles about field governance into account. They empirically compare passenger transportation sectors in Vienna (Austria) and in Berlin (Germany).
