Identity construction through interorganizational relations.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Alberta (Canada), 2007.

This dissertation is a conceptual exploration of process in interorganizational relations (IORs). My exploration of field material at three historic sites in Southern Alberta suggested that the three facility managers were struggling with issues of how to identify potential IO partners. The three historic sites presented unique organizational identities that I understood as The Pretender, The Trickster, and The Deceiver. Through my exploration of the IO literature, I developed a conceptual model in which the site's identity was pivotal for understanding how IORs were formed and maintained. Identity was the lens through which the organization, or more specifically its managers, interpreted the motives or interests held by other actors in the environment. My analysis suggested that the managers (and occasionally other employees) used narratives to construct each site's identity and that: site identity became the lens through which the managers of the site interpreted the motives of the other actors; IO interactions served to either reconstruct or contest the site's identity; successful IO interactions were unable to be formed with actors that contested the organization's identity. Based on this analysis, I argued that we can understand IORs as contestations or constructions around identity.
