Johansen et al: An insider view of the hybrid organization: How managers respond to challenges of efficiency, legitimacy and meaning

Question 1

What is this paper about?

Answer 1

In this paper they look at how managers perceive and manage meetings between different institutional logics in three types of hybrid organisations; a savings bank, a municipality and a hospital.

Question 2

What did they find?

Answer 2

Managers use different strategies to cope:
- Ranking (prioritizing one logic over another).
- Compartmentalization (handling different logics in separate situations).
- Aggregation (blending multiple logics into a new system).
