Hybridisation of diverging institutional logics through common-note practices – an analogy with music and the case of social enterprises
借鉴音乐理论中通过共同音符调和冲突和声的技术，提出混合组织可通过共同实践调和商业与社会福利逻辑，并以社会企业为例说明如何通过“解锁”边缘个体价值创造能力的实践实现可持续融合。
Hybrid organisations exhibit high degree of innovativeness, but also instability due to the conflicting institutional logics underpinning their activities. We enrich the discussion on how to reconcile conflicting logics in hybrid organisations using the analogy with music theory. In particular, we get inspiration from a technique used to modulate conflicting harmonies by means of the notes they have in common (common-notes) to derive ideas on how to compose conflicting logics by means of the practices they have in common. We illustrate these ideas in the specific case of social enterprises, showing that practices able to ‘unblock’ a marginalised individual’s value creation capabilities can be considered common-note practices allowing the social enterprise to fruitfully and sustainably combine commercial and social welfare logics.
