Where do hybrids come from? Entrepreneurial team heterogeneity as an avenue for the emergence of hybrid organizations
这篇概念性文章提出一个模型和一组命题,认为创业团队的异质性可能推动混合组织(即融合多种制度逻辑的组织)在创业过程中涌现,对研究集体创业、印记效应和混合组织的学者有参考价值。
This conceptual article aims to respond to the poorly addressed question of the emergence of hybrid organizations; that is, organizations that embrace several institutional logics. It does so by developing a model and a set of propositions focusing on the heterogeneity of the entrepreneurial team as a possible driver for hybridity throughout the entrepreneurial process and up to the emergence of a hybrid organization. Contributing to the literatures on (collective) entrepreneurship, imprinting and hybrid organizations, we advance several avenues and conditions under which the heterogeneity of the entrepreneurial team may imprint the entrepreneurial process and lead to the creation of hybrid organizations. Our propositions connect the individual, team and organizational levels and thus, advance our understanding of how institutional logics can be combined across different levels of analysis and throughout the stages of an entrepreneurial process.
