Logic Plasticity and Bounded Custodial Work in Inter-Institutional Projects
研究了航空航天跨机构项目中竞争性制度逻辑的冲突，发现逻辑可塑性限制了伙伴间的监护工作，且刚性逻辑在临时组织中胜出。
I studied competing institutional logics in inter-institutional projects in aerospace to understand which logic would prevail when several logics compete in temporary organizing. While competing logic tensions between academia and the industry were expected, I additionally found competing logic tensions between multinationals and suppliers. I argue that the competing logic tensions originated from the informal roles that emerged from the interactions among the partners in the projects, which were predetermined by the complementary knowledge that initially justified the collaborations. These informal roles activated custodial work among the partners, which was bounded by logic plasticity. Contrary to what was expected, the more rigid logics prevailed over the most plastic logics in temporary organizing.
