Housing Policy in Malaysia: Strategic actions of actors from network and institutional perspectives
thesis
posted on 2019-01-18, 10:05 authored by CHEE WEI CHEAHThis thesis examines the institutional setting and decision-making processes among business, social and political actors at a collective level within a highly institutionalized Malaysian Housing Industry, using the Industrial Marketing Purchasing (IMP) network approach and Institutional Theory as theoretical lenses. This research employed the case study research approach, using in-depth interviews with purposefully selected economic, political and social actors. Online observations and documents are also used to understand and explain the actors’ strategic and operational responses to housing policies with significant regulatory overtones in a country where housing affordability has become a major political and social issue.
