• Regulative
- Focus on constraining and regulating behaviour
- Regulations, laws, standards
• Cognitive
- Stress the shared conceptions that constitute the nature of social reality and the
frames through which meaning is made
- Beliefs, search heuristics, goals, guiding principles, problem definitions, mental
maps
• Normative Regulative Normative Cognitive
Examples Formal rules, laws, Values, norms, role Prorities, problem
- Emphasise the normative aspects sanctions, incentive expectations, authority agendas, beliefs, bodies
that prescribe rights/privileges & structures, reward and systems, duty, codes of of knowledge
cost structures, conduct (paradigms), models of
responsibilities/duties governance systems, reality, categories,
power systems, typifications,
- Values, behaviour, norms protocols, standards, jargon/language, search
procedures heuristics
Basis of Expedience Social obligation Taken for granted
compliance
Mechanisms Coercive (force, Normative pressure Mimetic, learning,
Scott, 2014; Geels, 2011 punishments) (social sanctions such as imitation
‘shaming’)
Logic Instrumentality Appropriateness, Orthodoxy (shared
(creating stability, becoming part of the ideas, concepts)
‘rules of the game’) group (‘how we do
things’)
Basis of Legally sanctioned Morally governed Culturally supported,
legitimacy conceptually correct
Rules
What do they do?
• Institution
- Socially embedded systems of rules
- Socially accepted rules of the game (Kanger & Schot)
• Institutionalisation
- Homogenisation & increasing compatibility with external environment (Dimaggio &
Powell, 1983)
- Process of embedding & expressing the rules & the way they are widely diffused &
adopted by broad section of society
• Forms
- Coercive isomorphism - formal & informal pressures exerted on organisations due to
expectations by society brought by government mandates & regulations
- Normative pressure’s - professional expectations, methods of work
- Mimicry - where organisations imitate or copy others who are successful to eliminate
uncertainty and minimise complexity
• Implications:
- Actors are rewarded for their resemblance to other due to benefits: legitimacy,
respectability, political power
- Incumbents do not have motivation to change
- Entrants face high barriers
Regimes

Stability and change thus
• Depends on:
- Actors who are capable of strategic deliberation and interpretation of rules
- Internal dynamics of interests, values, power dependencies and capacity for action
(Greenwood and Hinings, 1996)
- Uncertainties - the greater, the higher the level of deinstitutionalisation & the more scope
for agency towards institutional change (Fuenfschilling, 2014)

STRETCH strategies to deal with barriers
Regulative barrier:
Net metering not allowed for PV systems
on apartment roofs
.
Strategy:
Development of new technological device
for splitting of electricity to individual
apartments
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9rdbJ43G7Q
Regulative barrier:
Maximum cap in PV tax deduction per year in
Belgium
Strategy:
Spreading invoice over two years
Huijben, 2015
FIT & STRECH - SPV in NL
Strategy:
• Foundation ‘We want sun’ –
Initiative of Urgenda and
Beter Wereld
• Public purchase of A grade panels & accessories
produced sustainably
• Network of small & large installers
• Energy companies finance, repayment per kWh
used or fixed amount per month
FIT & STRETCH - SPV in NL
Cognitive barrier:
Strategy?
• Caring for customer:
Collective buying initiatives with
external party selecting supplier
and assisting in buying process
Fit & Stretch: Cycle rickshaws New Delhi
Regulatory barrier
• Motor (<250 W)+ manual power=> non motorised
• No insurance, no licence, reduced costs
• Negotiated universality, larger service area
• FIT AND CONFORM
Normative barrier
• Clean pedicab, sustainable, low cost
• Income benefits (speed, more
passenger km)
• 2010 replacement of cycle rickshaws
• STRECH AND TRANSFORM

Institutional entrepreneurship
Summary
• A paradox:
- Institutional analysis focuses on continuity and stability
- Entrepreneurship is about bringing about change
• About changing institutionalised rules while being restrained by them
• Structure vs agency / stability vs change debate
- Emphasis on structure: deterministic models
- Emphasis on agency: heroic, de-contextualised, a-historic models
• Focus on actors that have capacity & interest in specific institutional
arrangements & leverage resources
- Strategic (distributed) vs embedded agency: exploring how actors shape &
change institutions vs how actors maintain them (institutional work)
• Major topic in Transition Studies
- Understanding inertia, promoting change
