Abstract
In this paper we examine the proliferation of a new mobile technology in a structured setting of home care in Denmark, focusing on how actions at multiple levels interact to enable technology diffusion and institutionalization. The case study shows how a dominating field level logic of the efficient mobile technology system becomes transformed and institutionalized through translation mechanisms as organizations reformulate and interpret the organizational practices of mobile technology use during the process of adoption. Our study offers a multilevel view on these processes and suggests that combining an institutional logic perspective with a translation perspective furthers our understanding of the malleability of institutional logics.
