Abstract: Institutional reform is a wide-ranging, complex, sensitive, and far-reaching activity, and its essence lies in institutional innovation, i.e. deep integration in structure, responsibilities, leadership, personnel, culture etc. Institutional reform, under different perspectives of organizational theory, gets involved in different implementation strategies and action logics. In terms of theory tool, institution, and culture, it mainly covers six key issues: refinement and negotiation of the reform plans, cross-level reform coordination, organizational structure integration, departmental power coordination, administrative system innovation, and organizational culture integration. It should be noted that institutional reform is one of the key issues for the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. The modernization of national governance, though it needs to be promoted and supported through institutional reform, cannot be achieved through it as institutional reform is not entirely equivalent to political and administrative system reform.

Key words: institutional reform, organization theory, key issues, modernization of state governance
