How do institutions change? This question is central to institutional theorists across disciplines. Guided by teleological interest, economists and political scientists, for instance, aim to understand the national differences in institutions and their role in hindering or facilitating innovation and development in order to turn “bad” institutions into more beneficial ones (Ménard & Shirley, 2005; Peters, 2012). By contrast, scholars in organizational institutionalism have focused on understanding how institutions evolve and work and on analyzing the mechanisms of how institutional change proceeds (Greenwood, Oliver, Sahlin, & Suddaby, 2008). In this respect incremental institutional changes can be distinguished from more radical ones. The latter kind is usually associated with external shocks that disrupt the established institutional structure, such as environmental and demographic changes, or the introduction of new technologies (Acemoğlu & Robinson, 2012; Rodríguez-Pose & Storper, 2006). But change can also be triggered endogenously by contradictions and tensions within an institutional structure, which then has to be reinterpreted and renegotiated (Seo & Creed, 2002; Zilber, 2002). It is this endogenous institutional change that needs further study (Powell & Colyvas, 2008; Suddaby, 2010). In an appraisal of the diversity of empirical studies on institutional change, Streeck and Thelen (2005) identified several mechanisms of gradual institutional transformation. Each of these mechanisms characterizes a particular process, which either transforms existing institutions in response to a new context (eg, layering, conversion) or leads to their gradual erosion (eg, drift, exhaustion) and ultimate breakdown (displacement). It is important in that regard to distinguish between different understandings of the term institution. In economics and political science, studies focus especially on formal institutions, which are “formalized rules that are in principle obligatory and subject to third-party enforcement”(Hacker, Thelen, & Pierson, 2013, p. 5). Such a concept includes codified formal rules, public policies,
