... Based on new institutional theory (NIT), Clementino and Perkins (2020) proposed that corporations adopt different ESG disclosure strategies in response to the institutional pressure from ESG rating agencies. However, corporations often face multiple institutional demands (Pache and Santos, 2010;Durand and Thornton, 2018;Pache and Santos, 2021). Therefore, we believe that different ESG disclosure strategies of corporations are responding to not only to ESG rating agencies but also to actions taken by corporations in response to multiple stakeholders in the process of institutionalization. ...

... Ignorance is a form of non-response where actors are unaware of the elements of a logic, and compliance entails actors fully identifying with a logic. When actors are familiar with two different logics, and where hybridity is high (where the logics are equally dominant) Pache and Santos (2013) mean that a compartmentalization of logics is most likely, i.e., to keep them separated and comply with them to various extent in different contexts (see also Gautier & Santos, 2019). Where they have stronger connections to one of the competing logics, actors are more likely to combine them, accepting the less familiar logic but working hard to preserve the logic with which they identify most (see also Minbaeva, Muratbekova-Touron, & Nayir, 2015). ...

... Conflict pattern prescribes that the variety of institutional logics tend to be heterogeneous, creating competition between these different logics. Institutional logic conflict arises as a result of differences between the means and goals associated with divergent logics and the ensuing unique principles (Pache & Santos, 2010). The existence of institutional logic conflict implies that it is difficult to reach agreements on an organization's operation in terms of objectives, plans, and strategies. ...

... The analysis of social innovations may focus on the evolution of subjective visions about the aims and means of the innovation, or on the modalities of actors' practical activities. The key analytical concept for dealing with the dynamics of these interactions is the concept of process in the social innovation (Santos et al., 2013). This is the conceptual background of the research questions typically raised and answered during studies on organized social change: What are the objectively real and subjectively perceived needs and interests of the innovator and other participants in the social innovation? ...

... There are few different approaches to the process of adaptation (Chowdhury & Santos, 2010): ...

... In addition, Kraatz and Block (2008) proposed that contemporary organisational contexts are facing increasing institutional pluralism due to, for example, an increased number of policy interventions. This means that organisational contexts, such as schools, are becoming increasingly embedded in competing institutional pressures, placing conflicting demands on their members (Pache & Santos, 2013). Such conflicting demands need to be managed by organisational members who are situated in organisations with rooted characteristics and inner lives of their own. ...

... For example, social entrepreneurs use micro-franchise business models (i.e. micro-stores as retailers) to reach customers in remote villages who were previously not served via traditional distribution methods (Santos et al., 2015). ...

... These findings contribute to recent work on tensions arising from multiple goals in organizations, including in hybrid organizations (e.g., Battilana & Lee, 2014;Battilana, Sengul, Pache, & Model, 2015;Battilana et al., 2020;Doherty, Haugh, & Lyon, 2014;Ethiraj & Levinthal, 2009;Gaba & Greve, 2019;Hu & Bettis, 2018;Pache & Santos, 2013;Kim, 2022). Specifically, our paper highlights the unique challenges that arise when goals are not easily separable temporally or spatially in tasks, and when management cannot set clear policies to specify tradeoffs between goals. ...

... In fact, in the 90s, the authors of some studies pointed out that structures can impede knowledge flow (Dougherty, 1992). Nowadays, the approach taken by Eisenhardt and Santos (2000), which posits that organizations and groups of organizations become complex adaptive systems and are therefore organized into loosely linked systems of unique knowledge specialists. Despite this, they are collectively more innovative, adaptive and ultimately successful on dynamic markets. ...

... Kostovska et al. (2021) identify three levels of the media ecosystem: the first level is the "ecosystem orchestrators" (direct suppliers and distributors), the second is composed of the immediate environment of the firm and the third consists of actors at distance from the firm. In this regard, the relationship with stakeholders is decisive in building a sustainable business (Demil et al., 2018) and the lack of cooperation between stakeholders can provoke business failure (Ozcan & Santos, 2015). The winner's curse theory and the business model approach can be complementary, with a microanalysis about the consequences of the auction outcome and a mesoanalysis through the business model framework (Warnier et al., 2004). ...
