Scott, W. R. (2001). Institutions and organizations. Thousand Oaks, Calif.: Sage Publications.

Scott nicely sums up the main research streams of the institutional school, making this book a keeper.

Scott, W. R. (2002). Organizations: Rational, natural, and open systems. Upper Saddle River, N.J.: Prentice Hall.

This book showed me the world of institutional dynamics in and outside organizations. I highly recommend it for everyone with at least little background knowledge on the social aspects of organizations.
