This study examines the process by which a change in institutional logic of a organizational field is initiated. More specifically, we are concerned with how the IBM Thinkpad University concept affects various business schools in the province of Quebec. The theoretical framework departs from new-institutional theories. We propose a multi-level analysis: institutional, organizational and operational. The finding examines the process by which organizations retain, adopt and discard practices and illustrates the influence of institutional prestige, organizational mission, autonomy and pedagogical expertise. We show that the source of the institutional logic of appropriation is a quest for reputation.

SYNOPSIS In this study, we investigate the relation between accounting failure and innovation at multiple levels in an organization by developing and testing a model for how top executives and functional managers might change their risk preferences and their innovation investments in response to public disclosures of financial misconduct. At the firm level, we find that accounting failures reduce subsequent investments in R&D, as predicted by a threat rigidity (“play it safe”) psychological response among top executives. At the project level, accounting failures have the opposite effect, resulting in an increase in the number of exploratory projects, as predicted by a failure trap (“swing for the fences”) psychological response among functional managers. Unpacking this relation at multiple levels of analysis helps us to understand the complex ways in which financial misconduct shapes a firm's innovation activities and appreciate the far-reaching consequences of accounting failure.
