ABSTRACT
For approaching organizational issues, is there any mode of explanation that provides a middle way between methodological individualism (MI) and methodological holism (MH) in their several varieties? To provide an answer for this question is the basic purpose of the present article. Because many contributions have been published on the comparative virtues of these two modes, my aim here is not to deal with these debates but to focus on Institutional Individualism (II), a different hard core methodological principle that allows for building explanatory analyses of such a middle way.
