“…Their studies are related to organisational ecology [11], innovation [53], supply chain management [12,54], and social entrepreneurship [9]. Several PBS have been done on sustainability, especially on the transition to sustainability, which is an emerging area of research [3,55,56]; there are also those that examine sustainability within the field of strategy studies [2,38].…”

Abstract:Debates over social and organisational sustainability are constant because sustainability must stem from beliefs and goals that social and economic actors share. However, there is still a gap in the knowledge about how sustainability is practiced. In this theoretical paper, we use institutional logic (IL) to assume that the logic of sustainability can contribute to sustainability studies by explaining how practices are socially constructed and shared among actors. We consider sustainability as a practice by articulating IL through an understanding of practice-based studies (PBS). Sustainability as a practice facilitates the emergence of new organisational values and contributes to changes that support a new institutional logic. Hence, we define the institutional logic of sustainability (ILS) as a theoretical approach enabling comprehension of how sustainability can be observed and practiced through socially constructed actions and intentions. We highlight its relevance to deep sustainability studies and argue that by using different roles and meanings surrounding its performance, sustainability as a practice can facilitate studies about organisations.

“…These logics work interdependently to shape firms’ innovation performance. Similarly, results regarding the independent and interdependent roles (most suggest a negative role) of multiple institutional logics on innovation can also be found in various research contexts including animal testing (Kooijman, Hekkert, van Meer, Moors, & Schellekens, 2017), social entrepreneurship (Zhao & Lounsbury, 2016), and industrial and academic science (Sauermann & Stephan, 2013), among others. In sum, previous studies have suggested that multiple logics can coexist to shape firms’ innovation.…”

This study investigated how firms respond to conflicting demands within the state.Using Chinese listed firms data, we found that firms linked with central government relate positively to environmental innovation, while firms located in provinces with gross domestic product (GDP) priority exhibited a negative influence on environmental innovation. Beyond the independent roles of central and local government expectations, we found that central and local government demands work interdependently to negatively affect firms' environmental innovation, such that firms located in GDP priority regions lower the positive impact of the central government on environmental innovation. The present study added to the existing literature by unpacking government roles into two competing sets of expectations, independently and interdependently.

“…There is a growing literature that integrates these perspectives to shed light on the innovation process of industrial sectors or business organizations. For instance, in their study, Kooijman et al (2017) combine technological innovation systems with institutional logics perspective and reveal that the existing institutional logics might hamper the innovation process, which requires a socio-technical transition, by reinforcing the established practices and routines. In a similar vein, while the study of Turner et al (2016) shows how the prevalent institutional logics can be linked with the core blocking mechanism in an innovation system and how it can hinder the coinnovation process, the study of Cai (2015) reveals the impact of diverse institutional logics on the development of the Triple Helix innovation systems, which refer to the relationship between university, industry and government, at different national contexts.…”

Purpose The present study attempts to analyze how social entrepreneurs (SEs) develop technological innovation in the face of diverse institutional logics, which are embedded in the National Systems of Innovation (NSI). Design/methodology/approach Based on the content analysis of Ashoka Fellows, the study compares SEs in developed and developing countries, which represent strong versus weak NSIs. Findings SEs selectively couple the elements of diverse institutional logics to ensure the resource inflow and legitimacy of their operations. However, SEs particularly at weak NSIs are also decoupling their profit and non-for-profit branches to address conflict among diverse logics. Moreover, the study finds that 12 out of 20 entrepreneurs who identify themselves as technologically innovative did not develop any new technological innovation. Practical implications The study shows that being technologically innovative depends on the acquisition of resources and the management of legitimacy challenges, SEs can diversify their innovations by creating more incremental, architectural and modular innovations to address competing demands among logics. Social implications The study reveals that SEs in weak NSIs interact with multiple institutional logics more frequently than their counterparts in strong NSIs. Although this context leads them to diversify their technological innovation, there is a need for improving the NSIs of SEs in developing countries to facilitate the continuity of resource inflow and ensure the legitimacy of their operations. Originality/value Integrating two complementary theoretical lenses, the study contributes to the literature by exploring the impact of the interaction between logics nested within a supra system and SEs’ ability to develop technological innovation.
