Under what conditions does organizational ingenuity emerge? How do social actors innovate within the constraints of their institutional processes?
How do they use institutional processes to alter the institutions in which they operate?
This Subtheme is organized in conjunction with an Organization Studies special issue on the same topic. It is dedicated to bringing together scholars interested in the more contextual and practice oriented aspects of organizational ingenuity and creativity. We welcome submissions from a variety of disciplines and point of views.
