This study explores endogenous social and institutional processes through which new technology emerges and follows differential developmental trajectories. Building upon the institutional logic and social movement perspectives, I argue that an institutional logic is a product of actors’ collective social processes and that established logics play a central role in shaping the differential development of new technology. To test my arguments, I explore the social and institutional processes associated with development and contestation of conflicting logics (industrialism vs. environmentalism) and their effects on the evolution of electric and hybrid drive in the electric automotive community from 1969-2009. Empirical findings suggest that environmental protests and economic recessions systematically influence an actor’s incorporation of logics and that the strength of environmental and industrial logics shapes differential developmental trajectories of electric and hybrid drive. This study opens up the “black box ” of technological evolution by addressing where institutional logics come from, how actors respond to new logics and how institutional logics are related to technology development. Moreover, it fills a gap in the literatures between institutional and social movement arguments, which together helps us better understand the complexity of technology development. Key words: social movements; institutional logic; emergence of new technology; automotive technology; electric and hybrid drive

In this paper we explore how the implementation of an Enterprise System (ES) is related to organizational change, using an institutional theory lens. Our paper responds to recent calls by institutional theorists to first, better understand the ways in which macro, field-level logics of action are framed and applied in micro practices within an organization and second, to understand how material objects contribute to institutional stability and change. Our findings show the interplay between macro logics and the process of local framing through which these logics become locally interpreted, leading eventually to new institutionalized practices. Our study suggests the possibility of co-mingling contrasting and competing logics in the local context. We do this through the interpretive exploration of a rich case study of an ES implementation in India. This is an ideal case to examine because the institutional logic inscribed in the ES is developed within one organizational field, but is applied in a very different organizational field, thus allowing us to explore the macro-micro dynamics as well as the role of technology as a carrier and stabilizer of institutional structures and practices. 1.

Amongst the research of institutional logics, field-level logics have continuously gained interest among scholars. A cultural emergence model of field-level logics was proposed in the latest development of the institutional logics perspective (Thornton et al. 2012). This study aims to validate a section of the model: the relationship between resource environment and emergence and evolution of field-level logics, and do so in the context of Apple’s independent Mac OS X developers – Mac indies. Through a qualitative interpretive study, and a combination of narrative and content analysis, we identify the resource environment of Mac indies: platform governance and developers ’ own economy, and examine a critical platform governance change from Apple – its role shift from being primarily a technological platform to one that includes a market exchange, and show that a software ecosystem logic prevailed for Mac developers prior to the change, and a platform ecosystem logic emerged after that.

This research investigates the effect of multinational company (MNC) entry rates on domestic firm entry rates in emerging markets. Although research on competitive exclusion suggests that MNC entrants present entry barriers to potential smaller domestic entrants, it is suggest instead that MNC entry signals industry munificence, drawing rather than repelling new domestic entrants. This places boundary conditions on the accepted conventional industrial organization wisdom. MNC entry barriers indeed inhibit entry of potential small domestic players. However, when small, potential domestic firms have access to idiosyncratic resources that are less available to MNCs, these potential domestic emerging market entrants may overcome strong MNC entry barriers thus viewing MNC market entry as market munificence rather than market entry barriers. The net result is aggressive challenge by small domestic firms as large MNCs enter emerging markets. Still, this is circumscribed by the height of entry barriers, but not to the extent alluded to in previous industry organization analysis research. The results indicate less predictable competitive dynamics than previous research would suggest, especially in the context of emerging economies. This research examines the literature related to MNCs and domestic entry patterns in emerging markets. Data from the Thai banking industry is then examined in order to explore the theoretical relationships proposed.

We study the process by which a professional service firm reshaped its activities and beliefs over nearly two decades as it adapted to shifts in the social discourse regarding gender and work. Analyzing archival data from the firm over eighteen years and representations of gender and work from the business press over the corresponding two decades, we find that the firm internalized the broader social discourse through iterated cycles of analysis and action, punctuated by evolving beliefs about gender and work. Outside experts and shifting social understandings played pivotal roles in changing beliefs and activities inside the firm. We conclude with an internalization model depicting organizational adaptation to evolving social institutions.
