“…Meanwhile, environmental uncertainty negatively influences AfCFTA adoption, and weakens the relationships between the adoption and sustainability performance. Institutionalization involves the adoption of systems, core values and goals into the culture and structure of an organization (Lehmann et al , 2019; Aaltonen and Turkulainen, 2022). It is not surprising that institutionalization has predicted adoption in this paper.…”

“…INST is an organizational activity that aims to embed core values and goals into the culture and structure of an organization (Aaltonen and Turkulainen, 2022). According to the World Bank (2005), cited in Lehmann et al (2019), INST involves the adoption of systems that incorporate them. The main questions to be answered are: first, how useful is the information provided by key actors to other actors and what are the barriers; second, what types of instruments are used, i.e.…”

Purpose Despite the enormous expectant opportunities from the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), including creating a single continental market for goods and services, trade and investment, one key deterrent has remained fiercely unresolved due to failed trajectories with similar regional markets initiatives in the continent, and that is environmental uncertainty. To address this concern, this paper aims to develop a sustainability enabled-model to facilitate the adoption of AfCFTA under uncertain environment conditions to guide prospective investors and facilitators. Design/methodology/approach This study is anchored on quantitative research approach and positivists’ paradigm. Survey strategy has been used to collect data from 520 medium-sized firms across Ghana. Data analyses have been conducted with the using smart partial least squares version 3.3.3 analytical tool and structural equation modeling modality. Findings The findings have showed that institutionalization, supply chain integration, supply chain resilience and innovativeness have positive effects on AfCFTA adoption under uncertainty. Moreover, AfCFTA adoption provides mechanisms through which to attain sustainable supply chain performance. Meanwhile, environmental uncertainty negatively influences AfCFTA adoption, and weakens the relationships between the adoption and sustainability performance. Originality/value This paper has developed an integrated investment decision model to facilitate AfCFTA adoption under environmental uncertainty. It provides new insights into the African free market to guide policymakers, practitioners, academics and promoters of AfCFTA on sustainability initiatives that influence its adoption under uncertainty. Moreover, the new model, which serves as a strategic tool for decision-making, could be used to stimulate the ratification and the trade facilitation measures to build strong confidence in current and prospective investors.

“…Institutionalization of new constructs typically progresses in phases including problematization, theorization and legitimation (Greenwood and Suddaby, 2006;Lawrence and Suddaby, 2006). For example, development of interorganizational connections through which practices may become normatively sanctioned and associating new practices with existing institutionalized practices, illustrate institutional work that aims at shaping normative and cultural-cognitive institutions (Lehmann et al, 2019). Currently, however, we have limited understanding of the progress and diverse forms of institutional work needed to institutionalize a collaborative project governance model, where both the contractual and relational governance elements differ significantly from the conventional project delivery forms.…”

PurposeIn this study, we develop further understanding of how institutional change is created within a mature and local industry. In this pursuit, we examine how a collaborative large project governance model was institutionalized at an industrial sector-level through both industry-level activities and “institutional projects”.Design/methodology/approachThis study builds on the foundations of institutional fields and institutional change, suggesting that projects are not only shaped by their contexts but also produce institutional change themselves. We conducted extensive fieldwork on the institutionalization of a collaborative project governance model in Finland.FindingsThe findings illustrate how institutional change in governance of large and complex inter-organizational projects is created at the institutional field level. The institutionalized collaborative project governance model includes aspects of both relational and contractual governance. The change was facilitated by temporal links between the institutional projects as well as vertical links between the institutional projects and the field-level development programs.Originality/valueThis is one of the first studies to address how a collaborative large project governance model becomes the norm at the institutional field level beyond the boundaries of an individual project or organization.
