Acknowledgments

We would like to express our gratitude to all the participants at the 2018 Alberta Institutions Conference; without the presentations and conversations that arose during that event, this volume would never have happened. On that basis, we would also like to express our gratitude to the Alberta School of Business, The European Group for Organizational Studies, and Organization Studies for the financial support they provided for that conference. In addition to the above, we thank Mike Lounsbury for his support throughout the development of the volume, and the team at Emerald for their work during the publication process. We are especially grateful to all the contributors for the time and work they invested in their submissions and revisions; we believe their efforts have made for an enjoyable and intriguing read!
