Accounting in and for hybrids. Observations of the power of disentanglements

Abstract: PurposeThe authors argue that the mainstream scholarly discourse on hybridity and accounting is thus far primarily interested in the use and effects of accounting “in” hybrid organizations. Consequently, the literature has to a lesser extent explored how accounting mediates hybrid settings (while also being mediated), and the role of disentanglements in such processes. In hybrid settings, objects are difficult to define, and measures and tools difficult to agree upon. However, the literature on hybrid accounti… Show more

“…By doing so, this study contributes to a recent stream of research on how controls (e.g. Busco et al, 2017;Maran and Lowe, 2021) and accounting more generally (Clune et al, 2019;Ferry and Slack, 2021) mediate in hybrid settings, an area in need of further research (Weichselberger and Lagstr€ om, 2021). Second, by delving into the role of the leader in a for-profit organization, this study responds to calls from Kraus et al (2017) and Smith and Besharov (2019) to enhance our understanding of how leaders of hybrid organizations contribute to the persistence of their organization's hybrid mission.…”

“…Some AAAJ special issue articles relate to “public benefit” objectives and private benefits in the case of benefit corporations (Baudot et al , 2022), market and social objectives in a federal power administration (Convery and Kaufman, 2022), financial, social and environmental objectives in social housing companies (Maine et al , 2022), short- and long-term humanitarian activities (Sargiacomo and Walker, 2022), the goals of cost-efficiency and the needs of individual childcare (Schrøder et al , 2022), and the mission of “care” and the value of “public service” with “efficiency” (Moriniére and Georgescu, 2022). Other articles demonstrated the existence of and tensions between the multiplicity of institutional logics, such as economic and social logics (Ferry and Slack, 2022); the logics of calculating the long-term social and economic impacts of preventive social investments (Kastberg Weichselberger and Lagström, 2022); regulatory/bureaucratic, market and service logics in the case of information and communication technology (ICT) service providers (Maran and Lowe, 2022); community, public and market logics in the case of public and private partnership (PPP) policies (Stafford and Stapleton, 2022) and healthcare (medical), administrative and political-institutional logics (Rautiainen et al , 2022). Other studies provided evidence of a variegated mix of different institutions, such as alliances between public, private and third-sector actors (Rajala and Kokko, 2022); a network of public and private companies (Sargiacomo and Walker, 2022) and networks of multiple organisations (purchaser and providers) with different motivations (Zawawi and Hoque, 2022).…”

“…Compromising on values is an instrument for reconciling competing value-creation logics and interests may be organised in several ways. Some studies related to hybridity on health and social care organisations recognise the role of performance measurement as a mediating and compromising one (Begkos and Antonopoulou, 2022; Maran and Lowe, 2022; Zawawi and Hoque, 2022; Kastberg Weichselberger and Lagström, 2022; Sargiacomo and Walker, 2022). Other studies show that performance measures may play an ambivalent role in mitigating the tensions, by enabling compromises between actors with divergent values, and enhancing tensions between actors with convergent values (Moriniére and Georgescu, 2022).…”
