Abstract
LOPEZ FIGUEROA, José Carlos; OCHOA JIMENEZ, Sergio and FLORES LOPEZ, José Guadalupe. The Organizational Field of Agriculture in the Yaqui Valley in Sonora. Región y sociedad [online]. 2022, vol.34, e1519. Epub Apr 08, 2022. ISSN 2448-4849. https://doi.org/10.22198/rys2022/34/1519.
Objective:
to explain the Yaqui Valley’s process of structuring as an organizational field.
Methodology:
13 interviews were conducted, complemented with observation. These instruments collected the testimony of seven organizations and a legal adviser, which allowed constructing four maps of the physical-territorial assets, the actors, the conflicts, and the actors’ networks. Results: the valley is visualized as an organizational field focused on the actors, which are grouped in six levels to respond the four parts proposed by DiMaggio and Powell for the structuring: 1) interaction, 2) inter-organizational structures, 3) increase in information load, and 4) development of mutual awareness.
Results:

Limitations:
due to the actors’ and their possible relationships diversity within the territory, it has been not feasible to include the whole universe, but the majority was incorporated.
Value:
the study of the territory is proposed as an organizational field under the perspective of organizational studies.
Conclusions:
organizational studies and their lines of research are an alternative to enhance the understanding and analysis of territory.
