摘要：The Institutional Theory in organizational studies is an approach of strong influence in studies of the field. On the other hand, the studies considering the formalism as an integrant of the institutional process are rare. Aiming to fulfill this gap, this essay demonstrates that the institutionalization and the formalism are widely linked, especially in Brazil, with its cultural endemicity. Following as guidelines works of Guerreiro-Ramos[1], Riggs[2][3], Meyer and Rowan[4] and DiMaggio and Powell[5], we intend along the essay to adapt the aforementioned studies to organizational reality, insofar the formalism is commonly seen as a characteristic of heterogeneous and developing societies, and the institutionalization is seen like a generator process of homogenization of organizations. As result of this study, we can point the role of the institutional formalism in form of "make-believe" in the core of the institutionalization process, acting like a shortcut for social legitimatization of organizations.
