“…In network terms, populations are in structurally equivalent positions within fields; they have the same type of relations with similar others. Industry populations include organizations that produce the same products and services, such as information technology (Murray & O'Mahony, 2007), often with geographic bounds such as Israeli high technology (Zilber, 2006) or Boston or New York mutual funds (Lounsbury, 2007), as clear national and regional differences in populations have been found (Faulconbridge & Muzio, 2016;Marano & Kostova, 2016). Social movement populations include the set of organizations that are focused on activism on the same or a broadly similar issue, such as environmentalism , slow food (van Bommel & Spicer, 2011), gender equality (Clemens, 1993), or LGBTQ rights or identities (Armstrong, 2002;Briscoe & Safford, 2008).…”
