How do sharing organisations create and disrupt institutions? Towards a framework for institutional work in the sharing economy
(2019) In Journal of Cleaner Production 219. p.667-676- Abstract

This study aims to fill this gap by 1) applying a framework for institutional work by Lawrence and Suddaby (2006) to help understand, map out and classify a variety of mechanisms for urban sharing organisations to engage in institutional creation and disruption, and by 2) testing and adjusting the framework to the context...

The analysis builds on empirical data from case studies, field observations and almost 70 interviews with representatives of urban sharing organisations and actors in their organisational field.
