Hybrid organisations and regional development: implementing change agency through place-based leadership
研究将混合型组织视为变革推动者,通过地方领导力促进区域发展,基于38个变革行动的证据,提出了引导、实现和协调三种变革策略。
This study theorises hybrid organisations as change agents employing place-based leadership to promote regional development. By integrating the concepts of the trinity of change agency and agency–structure duality, we triangulate qualitative evidence on 38 change actions implemented by four hybrid organisations. We conceptualise three distinct transformative strategies contributing to regional development: guiding, realising and orchestrating change. This research bridges the literature on agency and hybrid organisations, offering a deeper understanding of how emerging organisational forms can drive place-based initiatives that transform social structures and address contemporary challenges.
