Digital transformation involves radical change—change in material technologies, certainly, but also a departure from the institutional referents that have guided organizational practice in the past. Still, even during transformation, some elements of the organizational system remain stable, and even new practices are not created out of wholecloth. Therefore, organizations must reconcile stability and change when they undergo digital transformation. We develop a “repertoire” model of institutionally embedded affordances that offers an institutional explanation for both stability and change of technology enactments in the context of digital transformations. The model explicitly attends to the way organizational actors construct, maintain, and alter repertoires of potential technology enactments in contemporary institutionally pluralistic contexts. Our model allows us to identify four key mechanisms of stability and change that characterize digital transformations: affordance reproduction; technology transposition; logic transposition; and affordance transposition. We highlight the central role of the repertoire for navigating the pluralism of institutions and technologies in contemporary organizing.

数字化转型的稳定性和变化：机构嵌入式技术可供性的库模型


数字化转型涉及根本性的变化——当然是材料技术的变化，但也背离了过去指导组织实践的制度参照物。尽管如此，即使在转型期间，组织系统的某些元素仍然保持稳定，甚至新的实践也不是凭空创造的。因此，组织在进行数字化转型时必须协调稳定性和变化。我们开发了一个机构嵌入可供性的“库”模型，为数字化转型背景下技术制定的稳定性和变化提供了制度解释。该模型明确关注组织行为者在当代机构多元化背景下构建、维护和改变潜在技术制定的方式。我们的模型使我们能够确定表征数字化转型的四个关键稳定性和变化机制：可供性复制;技术换位;逻辑移调;和可供性换位。我们强调了曲目在当代组织中驾驭机构和技术多元化的核心作用。
