Greenwood et al. (2011) introduced the idea of institutional infrastructure. It is a recog-nition that fields are more than logics and directs attentions to the structural elements underpinning field activity. For example, the positions of actors, their networks and relations, how they are governed, are key components of organizational fields ...

These arguments provided a foundation for a large stream of organizational studies that illuminate the existence of multiple logics within different communities, and examine tensions stemming from the coexistence of competing logics within a given organization (Greenwood et al., 2011; Kraatz & Block, 2008). Early research in this area focused ...

The existence and functioning of hybrid organi-zations poses interesting conceptual questions for institutional theory because hybrids challenge the conceptualization of organizations as entities re-producing a single coherent institutional template in order to gain legitimacy and secure support from
