Multiple Institutional Logics in Organizations: Explaining Their Varied Nature and Implications

Abstract: Multiple institutional logics present a theoretical puzzle. While scholars recognize their increasing prevalence within organizations, research offers conflicting perspectives on their implications, causing confusion and inhibiting deeper understanding. In response, we propose a framework that delineates types of logic multiplicity within organizations, and we link these types with different outcomes. Our framework categorizes organizations in terms of logic compatibility and logic centrality and explains how … Show more

“…One explanation for that lies in the logic multiplicity being nearly exclusively demonstrated at the level of the means by which organisational goals are achieved. As indicated in the literature, at this level, the compatibility between multiple logics tends to be higher, compared to that at the level of the goals (Besharov and Smith 2014;Pache and Santos 2010).…”

“…The presence of this single and underlying logic of platform scale and growth appears to distinguish platform-centric ventures from other multilogic-based ventures (e.g. social enterprises), where different logics present at the level of organisational goals may not have such a 'common denominator', creating hybrid organisational responses (Besharov and Smith 2014;Purdy and Gray 2009).…”

“…WISE organizations manage multiple goals, including the commercial imperatives of the product and service markets in which their businesses (cafes, bike shops, laundries, recycling centers, restaurants, and others) compete, and the pro-social goals of employment and integration for the disadvantaged communities they hire and train (Borzaga and Loss 2006, Gardin 2006, Nyssens 2006, Nyssens and Platteau 2006, Cooney 2010. The multiple goal structure presents challenges for WISEs due to the fact that these goals reflect different, at times opposing, logics: a commercial logic that emphasizes efficiency, profitability and competitive rivalry versus a service or social welfare logic that aims to maximize a program of supportive intervention to produce results for the beneficiary (Battilana and Dorado 2010, Cooney and Garrow 2010, Besharov and Smith 2014. Further, in contrast to their European counterparts, as new WISEs in the United States have emerged with a broadened focus beyond the sheltered workshop model, the policy supports such as set aside procurements have not been extended to these newer WISEs.…”
