Individual strategies as interaction modes for handling institutional logic diversity over time: A case study on a public-private collaboration project
通过巴西智慧城市项目的案例，研究个体如何运用不同策略作为互动模式，促进公私合作中制度逻辑的融合，并发现目标平衡和个体中心位置有助于逻辑收敛。
A diversity of institutional logics can impede public–private collaboration. In this paper, we explore how individuals use different strategies as interaction modes to foster institutional logic convergence in a public–private collaboration project. To do this, we rely on research on public–private collaboration and institutional logics and a single case study of a public–private smart city development project in the city of Aguas, Brazil. This paper contributes to the research on institutional logic diversity in three ways. First, we find that individuals use different strategies as interaction modes to achieve institutional logic convergence, but these strategies serve diverse purposes over time in a project. Second, when the organizational and individual goals in a project are balanced, this eases institutional logic convergence. Third, individuals can be facilitators of institutional logic convergence if they can unite diverse institutional logics and are perceived to have a central position in a project.
