Innovation through institutionalization: A service ecosystems perspective
TL;DR: In this article, the role of institutions in innovation from a service-ecosystems perspective is explored, which helps to unify diverging views on innovation and extend the research regarding innovation systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
The making and remaking of organization context
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a social theory based framework for grounding and expanding institutional theory to more fully articulate institutionalization processes, incorporating institutional theory and structuration theory and drawing on the work of Max Weber in developing a framework of the context and the processes associated with creating, adopting and discarding institutional practices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Materiality and change: Challenges to building better theory about technology and organizing
TL;DR: The authors argue that scholars have had difficulty grappling with materiality because they often conflate the distinction between the material and social with the distinctions between determinism and voluntarism, and outline four challenges that researchers must address before they can reconcile the reality of materiality with the notion that outcomes of technological change are socially constructed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Rhetorical Theory of Diffusion
TL;DR: The authors use rhetorical theory to reconceptualize the diffusion of managerial practices, arguing that the diffusion depends on the discursive justifications used to rationalize it, and that when such justifications are accepted and taken for granted, a practice reaches a state of institutionalization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inter-organizational collaboration and the dynamics of institutional fields
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that institutionalization and collaboration are interdependent; institutional fields provide the rules and resources upon which collaboration is constructed, while collaboration provides a context for the ongoing processes of structuration that sustain the institutional fields of the participants.
