Primero, se sugiere que, a partir de 1970 y hasta principios de 1980, la industria enfrentó la amenaza existencial de una serie de condiciones de vulnerabilidad, incluidas la movilización de sus trabajadores y el colapso de sus principales mercados. Segundo, de acuerdo con el esquema de &#8220;lógicas institucionales&#8221; se arguye que en esta búsqueda un pequeño grupo de profesionales o &#8220;apóstoles del desarrollo&#8221;, inspirado en la lógica institucional religiosa, desarrolló un conjunto de novedosas prácticas y estrategias en un ingenio de la industria. Seguidamente, estos mismos apóstoles del desarrollo divulgaron las prácticas y estrategias, promoviendo su adopción en otros ingenios y transformando la industria. El artículo concluye con una discusión de las implicaciones teóricas y prácticas del caso.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[Abstract This study proposes a theoretical framework that combines two complementary approaches. First, building on the vulnerability scheme (Fuentes and Pipkin 2016), it suggests that during the 1970s and early 1980s, the industry faced the existential threat of a series of conditions of vulnerability, including widespread worker mobilization and the collapse of its main markets. This crisis fostered the search for new practices and business strategies. Second, following the &#8220;institutional logics&#8221; approach (Thornton et al 2012, Friedland and Alford 1991), the proposed argument posits that in this search, a small group of professionals, or &#8220;Apostles of Development,&#8221; inspired by the religious institutional logic, devised a series of novel practices and strategies in one of the industry&#8217;s mills. These same Apostles then diffused their new practices and strategies to other mills in the industry, thereby spawning the transformation. The article concludes with a discussion of the theoretical and practical implications of the case.]]></p></abstract>
