“…Organizational differences result from multiple coexisting institutional logics in a pluralistic institutional environment, emphasizing organizational reconstruction [25]. Previous research has established the foundations of institutional logic and debated the multiple requirements and complexity of the internal interactions of pluralistic institutional logics [26]. For example, Zhu et al analyzed the convoluted relations between companies' social and business logics and constructed a theoretical model compatible with both set of logics [27].…”

The characteristics of collaborative innovation and interactions among core enterprises, users, and partners are critical. Research is lacking on how to construct open innovation ecology through institutional design. This study explores how core enterprises effectively motivate users and partners to participate in innovation activities on the Internet and successfully constructing open innovation ecology, using the institutional logic theory and an exploratory case study of Xiaomi, a famous Chinese Internet enterprise. The findings are as follows: (1) three main characteristics of innovation carried out by core enterprises, users, and partners in the open innovation ecology—iterative innovation, social innovation, and joint innovation; (2) three new institutional practices—following, leading, and symbiotic mechanisms—which provide an effective institutional guarantee for interaction and innovation; (3) two kinds of institutional logic—administrative logic and social logic, which core enterprises follow to construct open innovation ecology on the Internet, and its change in innovation characteristics. Therefore, a full understanding of the changing rules of the institutional logic is fundamental for successfully building open innovation ecology. This study enriches both the open innovation ecology theory as well as the institutional logic theory. In addition, Xiaomi’s open innovation ecological development model proves that core enterprises can take the approach of building open innovation ecology. It provides a strong example to other enterprises on innovations on the Internet.

“…In this sense, the article adds some institutional nuance on account of sustaining organizational hybridity by re-conceptualizing "uncertainty" with "institutional competition" and "institutional change." This research enriches the discussions on organizations' managerial strategic choices influenced by the evolution of the institutional logics from the legitimation-as-process perspective (Thelisson et al, 2018;Thelisson and Meier, 2020).…”

“…In this respect, they defined legitimation as a non-linear process inherently contested and negotiated in everyday activities in relation to organizational actions and decisions ( Gnes and Vermeulen, 2019 ; Thelisson and Meier, 2020 ). For example, Thelisson et al (2018) have explained the evolution of intertwined institutional logics in the merger integration and the relative balance between the logics in play from a managerial perspective. However, this research major concerns the way certain institutional logics coexist and how their relationship evolves in organizational or inter-organizational change.…”

Confronting the uncertain environment, this article adopts a case research approach to resonate with the studies of hybridity. It aims to explain how the perception of uncertainty in the institutional environment affects the adaptation of organizational structure in pursuing legitimacy for hybrid organizations. Based on the empirical data collected from a two-staged fieldwork and in-depth interviews, the case analysis concentrates on the correlation between the evolution of institutional logics and organizational structure change from a diachronic perspective. The findings indicate that in the face of competing and changing institutional logics, Chinese mass media organizations have gradually shifted from a dominated blending strategy in the exploration stage to a deeply compartmentalizing strategy in the stable stage. The hybrids can deal with the uncertainty of the institutional environment by enhancing the uncertainty of the organizational structure. Consequently, the case evolves an organizational integration through internal legitimacy. It manifests a possibility for hybrids of combining the two major response mechanisms in one process.

“…The second is co-existence (McPherson & Sauder, 2013;Reay & Hinings, 2009), and the third is the dominance of one logic over the other two (Randall & Procter, 2013;Thornton, 2002). If the result in terms of configuration is well documented (Thelisson, Géraudel, & Missonier, 2018), the process is little accounted for. As we consider institutional change as the skillful use of logics, we need to investigate further how this agency operates.…”

When entrepreneurs instigate institutional change through coopetition: The case of winemakers in south of France

2019

Winemakers in South France combine contingently institutional logics to achieve economic performance. Entrepreneurs who decide to cooperate with their competitors must manage four phases of “coopetition”: launch, formalization, protection, and reinforcement. They engage in the coopetition process by referring to a professional logic that becomes dominant, and they complete the process by fostering a community logic that is combined with the professional logic. Identity and legitimacy are the key elements that entrepreneurs segregate and blend, which entails new combinations in the respective influential power of state logic, professional logic and community logic.
