PhD Thesis
Effekte von Institutionen auf die Diffusion von wissenschaftlichen Innovationen wurden in mehreren Studien belegt, ohne auf die Schaffung von Institutionen einzugehen. Die Theorie von institutionellen Entrepreneuren thematisiert diese Lücke und erklärt, wie Schlüsselfiguren eine institutionelle Logik verbreiten und auf dieser aufbauende Institutionen schaffen, um die Diffusion von Innovationen zu beeinflussen. In meiner Dissertation validiere ich den vollständigen Prozess ausgehend vom Entrepreneur, der eine Logik verbreitet, bis hin zu Effekten von frei verfügbaren Forschungsmethoden. Basierend auf Analysen von Patenten und Publikationen in der Synthetischen Biologie können wir die Theorie validieren und eine positive Wirkung von frei verfügbaren Forschungsmethoden messen.

Conference Paper
This paper extends the emerging body of literature on institutional entrepreneurship by introducing the heterogeneous diffusion model to measure the diffusion of institutional logics in an emerging field. Results validate that during field emergence, institutional entrepreneurs use their resources to convince their social context of an institutional logic to shape an emerging field. Such pioneers of new fields draw logics from different organizational fields and influence the emerging field level institutions. By drawing from a quantitative study using the research field of synthetic biology, this paper elaborates rich insights into the characteristics and strategies of such actors. In addition, this research provides implications for further development of institutional theory, in particular, for the analysis of communities, as well as for practitioners working in emerging fields.
