The role and contributions of sociological institutional theory to the socio-technical approach to innovation theory
Open accessAbstract
This study seeks to broaden the analytical scope of the socio-technical approach to innovation theory through the incorporation of a few theoretical constructs from sociological institutional theory. This work is relevant due to its linking of these two theories which have points in common in the explanation of the variables and phenomena that they study, such as the possibility that innovation is diffused through the institutional bases and legitimacy of Institutional Theory, as well as the fact that the relationships between system actors can influence these results. This study uses a narrative literature review to compare these two theories and presents a significant result in applying contributions from institutional theory to the theory of innovation.

“Within the framework of sociological institutional theory (Carvalho et al., 2017), algorithms are perceived as elements of social order processes and considered on four levels. 1) The regulative level serves the implementation and execution of formal rules, while the 2) normative level evaluates alternatives for action regarding their legitimacy. An interpretation and perception of the action”

“This legitimacy constitutes a mechanism that links organizational behavior with belief systems and public opinion in which change occurs as a response to institutional pressure (Geels, 2010).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
