Institutional work are the situated actions of individuals and groups, that respond to a everyday life demand. It's about purposive actions aimed at creating, maintaining or disrupting institutions. Institutional work regards formal and informal actions, coordinated and uncoordinated efforts.

Institutional entrepreneurship are the activities of actors who have an interest in a particular institutional arrangement and who leverage resources to create new institutions or to transform existing ones.

The process reveals the tension associated with competing demands: environment vs doing business. Over time, continuous critique and reassessment result in compromise in favor of a narrow profit motive.
