“…In the narrative review that follows, each mode is discussed in detail, with particular attention paid to the underlying causal mechanisms contributing to each mode and the relevant literature from our review in which those mechanisms appear. These findings are summarized in In the literature reviewed here, this mode is most closely associated with concepts of reflexive normalization, framing, expectations, established narratives, and patterns of communication (Blanc & Huault, 2019;Capoccia, 2016;Clemens & Cook, 1999;Cornelissen et al, 2015;Nilsson, 2015). By establishing what is right, desirable, or acceptable, stability is achieved through convergent behavior (Ayson, 2007;Bitektine & Haack, 2015;Kulkarni, 2020;Standifird, 2003) and motivated through emotional cues (i.e., shame, pride) (Creed et al, 2014).…”

“…They may also arise endogenously through interactions with other affected actors in times of potential destabilization (Arnold & Fleischman, 2013). Patterns of interaction and exposure are therefore important to consider (Clemens & Cook, 1999;Nilsson, 2015), as is the role of language, particularly established narratives and patterns of communication, that serve to frame the terms of discussion and understanding of an institution (Blanc & Huault, 2019;Cornelissen et al, 2015).…”

Revisiting institutional stability: A systematic review and distillations of dominant modes

The concept of institutional stability has been explored from multiple disciplinary lenses and is associated with a variety of theories and frameworks, masking important variation in the mechanisms and modes of institutional stability, and complicating our understanding of how and why institutions are maintained over time. This is particularly salient to questions of environmental governance, where the recent pace and magnitude of both political and environmental change necessitates more careful attention to the capacity of existing institutions to persist or adapt. Here, we conduct a systematic review to examine the treatment of institutional stability in the literature to determine whether dominant or consistent conceptualizations of institutional stability are present. Beginning with a list of 21 synonyms for stability as used in the literature, we assembled a raw dataset of 23,379 manuscripts in print or published between 1976 and August 2019. Papers were then screened to ensure a theoretical or empirical analysis of institutional stability, resulting in a final dataset of 165 unique manuscripts. From our review, we propose two separate axes-directionality and intentionality-upon which four separate modes of stability may be arrayed. Termed passive stability, active stability, intended inaction, and failed action, we find that each is characterized by distinct mechanisms and captures specific concepts detailed in the extant literature. Though we believe our typology to have the potential to provide for a more precise analysis of institutional stability and associated policy and resource outcomes, further research is necessary to demonstrate its applicability.

“…This brings to the fore the role of words and vocabularies in this hybridization. This role is well known in the establishment of new institutional logics (e.g., Loewenstein et al, 2012;Reay & Jones, 2016) or in institutional maintenance (e.g., Blanc & Huault, 2018). However, to the best of my knowledge, no other work has previously identified the capacity of words to be door openers for the hybridization of practice.…”

Toward a Discursive Approach to the Hybridization of Practice: Insights from the Case of Servitization in France

Hybrid practices incorporate conflicting institutional logics and are recognized for their capacity to cope with societal problems. Previous literature has concentrated on the hybridization mechanisms inherent in organizations. This focus on an entity has diverted attention away from equivalent mechanisms that operate in wider social systems – specifically, in organizational fields. In this article, I show how discourses can enable such mechanisms. To that end, descending hierarchical classifications were performed on media outlets to study the discourse on the emergence of servitization in France. The results reveal two original mechanisms enabled by discourses and supporting the hybridization of the practice under study: (1) practice renaming and (2) the pivotal role played by the institutional logic of environmental protection. Based on these results, I propose a model detailing how institutional logics and discourses interact to bring about a hybrid practice. This model offers original insights to develop knowledge on hybrid organizing and promote practices that realign business goals with those associated with social welfare and preservation of the natural environment.

“…Some of the analysis was assisted by the Prospero lexicometry software, originally developed for longitudinal textual analysis of controversial issues (Chateauraynaud, 2003). The Prospero software has been used in many past research studies (Cointet & Parasie, 2018), notably in sociology (Boltanski & Thévenot, 2006;Chateauraynaud, 2014), political science (Parasie & Cointet, 2012), and management (Blanc & Huault, 2019). Like the IRAMUTEQ software, PROSPERO can track the trajectory of words and their network in a large corpus (in this research, the words concerned were nouns and adjectives related to the term 'asbestos').…”

Through the controversial history of asbestos use in France, we study a long deinstitutionalization process marked by alternating phases of acceleration and deceleration. To understand these changes of pace, we reveal interactions over the long term between action profiles that differ in terms of the type of agency (strategic or pragmatic) and the resource mobilization process (leveraging, accumulation, or convening) involved. Analyzing a rich corpus of documentary data triangulated with interviews, we draw up a schema of the complex deinstitutionalization process concerning asbestos in France. We then set out four theoretical propositions about the temporal dynamics of deinstitutionalization: (1) defensive action essentially involves leveraging efforts that promote long phases and help to slow down the pace of deinstitutionalization; (2) disruptive action produces slow, incremental effects through marginal integration of changes into existing institutional schemas. The acceleration phase of deinstitutionalization is temporally bounded by the disruptive actors’ resources; (3) the acceleration and deceleration phases of deinstitutionalization hinge on the perception of urgency, which is a factor of instrumentalization for strategic actors; and (4) convening is a form of mobilization that significantly slows down the pace of deinstitutionalization.
