Stine Grodal is an Assistant Professor of Strategy and Innovation at Boston University. Her main stream of research
examines institutional change. In particular she investigates the emergence of new organizational fields and organizations’
responses to changes in their institutional environment by asking how institutional logics, symbols and localized meaning
structures facilitate and constrain change processes and firms’ strategic actions. She is interested in the use of labels and
categories, and the role labels and categories play as carries of meaning and agents of change. She investigates how labels
assume multiple meanings across institutional contexts, and how organizations use labels in order to redefine boundaries and
meaning structure, attract resources, and improve their competitive advantage. Her research has focused on nanotechnology,
tobacco, and the legal service sector.
