Time: April 20th, 2017 (Thursday) 10:00am -11:30am

Location: Zhifuxuan Conference Room, National School of Development, Peking U.

Speaker: Yanlong Zhang, Assistant Professor of Organization Management, Guanghua School of Management, Peking University.

Abstract

We build upon and extend the institutional logics and identity literature by highlighting that the identity of those individuals who are powerful in organizations is important to understanding organizational responses to multiple institutional logics. Specifically, we argue that institutional pluralism may produce a portfolio of identities for top executives within organizations, and the relative salience of their identities is likely to influence their actions toward these different institutional logics. We situate our empirical research in the field of China’s state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and focus on the organizational practices of R&D investment. The SOEs are constantly confronting state and market logics in China and the top executives of these SOEs, thus, have a dual identity—CEOs in the market sector and officials in the political sector. We reveal that SOEs’ R&D investments are prescribed by both state and market logics and the impacts of these two logics on SOEs’ R&D are contingent on the dual identity of the top executives in SOEs. The institutional logics penetrate into organizations through activating the identity of executives and eventually affect organizational practices.
