“…The institutional realm consists of three structural dimensions: signification, domination, and legitimation. Signification processes are rules that help people understand how to do things in a particular organization and communicate those rules to others (Staber and Sydow, 2002). The structures of signification are institutionalized interpretive schemes, such as identities, beliefs, and values, that lend meaning to people's actions.…”

“…Structures of legitimation instead are institutionalized norms and rules. Drawing on Giddens, we define legitimation as the norms and rules that help people know what they should do and how in a particular organization (Staber and Sydow, 2002). Finally, the structures of domination are institutionalized mobilizations of power (Giddens, 1984) that determine different actors' access to and deployment of resources.…”

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to conceptualize service innovation through a service‐dominant logic (S‐D logic) lens and a service system foundation.Design/methodology/approachThis conceptual paper offers a service‐dominant logic lens and a structuration theory approach emphasizing an actor perspective on service innovation. Since the value of innovation unfolds in practice, this paper will use customer to denote the key actor in co‐creating value in context.FindingsThe paper shows how a resource constellation in a service system is reconfigured and thus explains service innovation from the lens of S‐D logic, emphasizing customers' value co‐creation of value in practices. The focus is on the interdependencies between the configuration of resources in a service system and schemas that shape customers and other actors when integrating resources and co‐creating value.Research limitations/implicationsThere is a need to discuss service innovation in a social constructivist view to better understand the guiding principles or schemas that enable actors to co‐create value.Originality/valueService innovation is understood as sourced by changes in either resources or schemas (norms and rules) or a combination, resulting in structural changes in a service system. The conceptualization provides: a new definition of service innovation; a new framework describing the interdependency between changes in resources and schemas as a basis for an innovative configuration or reconfiguration of a service system; and three propositions illustrating the relevance of this new framework.

“…Measures of adaptive capacity from various fields include livelihood diversification and mobility (Ellis 2000, Adger et al 2002), levels of social, cultural, economic, human, and natural capital (Berkes and Folke 1998, Carney 1998, Lemos et al 2013, institutional and governance processes and arrangements (Ostrom 1999, Armitage and Plummer 2011, Berman et al 2012), a culture of learning (Hagmann and Chuma 2002), redundancy of function in organizations (Staber and Sydow 2002), access to resources (Scoones 1998), diversity of resource dependence (Bailey and Pomeroy 1996), supportive public policies and institutions (Kalikoski et al 2010), leadership and resources (Hill 2013), and levels of income and social stability (O'Garra 2007). Adger (2003) argued that adaptive capacity is directly linked to social capital, which can be defined as relationships built on trust, networks, and reciprocity, and the resultant willingness and ability of groups to act collectively.…”

ABSTRACT. The health and productivity of marine ecosystems, habitats, and fisheries are deteriorating on the Andaman coast of Thailand. Because of their high dependence on natural resources and proximity to the ocean, coastal communities are particularly vulnerable to climate-induced changes in the marine environment. These communities must also adapt to the impacts of management interventions and conservation initiatives, including marine protected areas, which have livelihood implications. Further, communities on the Andaman coast are also experiencing a range of new economic opportunities associated in particular with tourism and agriculture. These complex and ongoing changes require integrated assessment of, and deliberate planning to increase, the adaptive capacity of communities so that they may respond to: (1) environmental degradation and fisheries declines through effective management interventions or conservation initiatives, (2) new economic opportunities to reduce dependence on fisheries, and (3) the increasing impacts of climate change. Our results are from a mixed methods study, which used surveys and interviews to examine multiple dimensions of the adaptive capacity of seven island communities near marine protected areas on the Andaman coast of Thailand. Results show that communities had low adaptive capacity with respect to environmental degradation and fisheries declines, and to management and conservation interventions, as well as uneven levels of adaptive capacity to economic opportunities. Though communities and households were experiencing the impacts of climate change, especially storm events, changing seasons and weather patterns, and erosion, they were reacting to these changes with limited knowledge of climate change per se. We recommend interventions, in the form of policies, programs, and actions, at multiple scales for increasing the adaptive capacity of Thailand's coastal communities to change. The analytical and methodological approach used for examining adaptive capacity could be easily modified and applied to other contexts and locales.

“…Some consider network and organizational survival a function of adaptive capacity which is highly associated with the initial design of the structure of the organizations as well as the networks (Aldrich, 1999;Boin, Kuipers and Steenberger, 2010). Staber and Sydow (2002) clearly differentiate between organizational adaptation and adaptive capacity. They argue that an adaptationist approach does not tolerate any unproven structures or changes within the organization that conflict with…”
