Path Dependence and Creation.
Garud, Raghu, and Peter Karnøe. "Path Dependence and Creation." Research Policy 30, no. 1 (2001): 1–21.

Garud and Karnøe analyze how paths emerge, persist, and can be actively created rather than merely inherited. The chapter cites their institutional account where a useful structure becomes an ordinary practice, keeping it separate from Illich's normative critique of tools.
