- This paper addresses the governance of trust repair in strategic alliances. Based on a longitudinal case study of three consecutive R&D alliances between two firms, we conduct an in-depth analysis of trust dynamics with particular focus on the trust repair process and its anatomy. Our study offers important implications both for the relational view of alliance governance and for the literature on organizational trust. Whereas relational governance scholars have pointed to the shadow of the future and top management involvement as stimulating positive trust dynamics, we find strong evidence that these strategies might actually hamper the mitigation of negative trust dynamics. Instead, our study points to temporal isolation, spatial separation and temporal demarcation as important strategies to cool-down and reboot inter-firm relationships after a trust breakdown has occurred. Our multi-level data also provide unique insights into the specific stages of trust repair in inter-firm relationships. Furthermore, we find competence trust to be more fragile than goodwill trust and therefore easier to break, but also easier to repair. Thus, trust repair in alliances is likely to originate from the gradual restoration of competence trust on the operational level and evolve to encompass goodwill trust as well and diffuse across levels.

- This paper aims to deepen our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the mutual constitution of competing institutional logics and sociomaterial entanglements by combining a sociomaterial lens with the institutional logics perspective. We present findings from an interpretive, longitudinal case study at the emergency general surgery ward of a Nordic university hospital. By focusing our analysis on how sociomaterial affordances emerge through the implementation, use and continued development of digital and physical visualization boards, we show how these artifacts constitute an integral part of the operational staff's sensemaking and enactment of a new institutional logic. We make two contributions. First, we show how the perceived affordances of a technology are created from the experience of using several different technologies and how the rejection of one technology can simultaneously constitute another. Second, we show how visualization artifacts, entangled in sociomaterial practices, can shape individual focus of attention and thus facilitate the integration of a new institutional logic in operational practice. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

Is Your Project Turning into a Black Hole?

- Any seasoned executive knows that information technology (IT) projects have a high failure rate. Large IT projects can become the business equivalent of what astrophysicists know as black holes, absorbing large quantities of matter and energy. Resources get sucked in, but little or nothing ever emerges. Of course, projects do not become black holes overnight. They get there one day at a time through a process known as escalating commitment to a failing course of action. Without executive intervention, these projects almost inevitably turn into black holes. This article sheds light on the insidious process through which projects that devour resources, yet fail to produce business value, are created and gradually evolve into black holes. It presents a framework that explains the creation of black hole projects as a sequence of three phases: drifting, treating symptoms, and rationalizing continuation. The framework is illustrated through two cases: EuroBank and California DMV. The article then presents recommendations to prevent escalating projects from becoming black holes and provides a means for detecting problems at an early stage.

Sociomaterial Negotiation of Conflicting Institutional Logics at the Swedish Migration Board

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This study combines the institutional logics perspective with a sociomaterial lens to explore how a new element of an institutional logic is negotiated and manifested in sociomaterial practic-es at the micro-level of organizing. Building on recent research emphasizing the role of agency in the micro-level dynamics and use of logics, we show how the interpretive flexibility of a new and contested element of a logic (Lean Practices) is used to negotiate the influence of competing institutional logics. Moreover, by showing how the development and implementation of a new information system intensifies the negotiation between conflicting institutional logics and manifests meanings in daily work routines, our study sheds light on the constitutive role of information technologies in the negotiation and transformation of institutional logics. While previous research has concentrated on processes of translation between global ideas and local context, this study recognizes how local negotiations and adaptations of new elements such as management concepts can be understood as socio-material enactments.
