Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In the context of economic transition, deliberate institutional engineering rarely achieves the intended �market equilibrium,� but more often than not begets new sources of instability. It is precisely in the management of these instabilities that nations head toward different trajectories of capitalism. This essay illustrates this process of dynamic institutional disequilibrium through examining a �reorganization episode� � the introduction of Western corporate governance structures in Chinese oilfields and refineries in 1998-2000. I suggest that institutional failures at the firm level stem not from static inefficiency, but from dynamic factors relating to the formal-informal interplay hypothesized by Douglass North. I provide an overview of the formal corporate form and governance structure imposed by Beijing on the state-owned enterprises, then show the failures of these formal institutions due to informal behavioral adaptation by managers and workers who struggle to cope with the dismantling of the socialist moral economy.
