CAMARGO MAYORGA, David Andrés; CARDONA GARCIA, Octavio  e  RONCANCIO GARCIA, Ángel David. ISOMORFISM OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES: A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS. Tend. [online]. 2018, vol.19, n.1, pp.68-87. ISSN 0124-8693.  https://doi.org/10.22267/rtend.181901.88.

The mimetic isomorphism proposed by DiMaggio & Powell (1983) occurs in organizational fields where the rational effort of each company to reduce the uncertainty and produces homogeneity between organizations; which the literature would be supposed to happen in the telecommunications sector on worldwide. This article demonstrates the hypothesis and uses an unbalanced data panel model to determine the differences in the provision of telecommunications services for 69 countries. This study was made for the years 2010-2015. The findings show the differences in the provision of services between countries by technology and the incidence of informal institutions. We concluded there is no isomorphism at the level of the countries studied.
