IGRI Research Seminar | October 2025 | Rules-In-Use Working Group

Описание: Title: Expanding the Comprehension of Governance in Entrepreneurial Ecosystems: An analysis of the Heilbronn ecosystem using institutional grammar

Presenter(s): Ute Brady, Ismael Lare David, Daniel Detzi, Irene Pérez Ibarra, and Alicia Tenza-Peral

Abstract: This IGRI Working Group focuses on discussing the design of efficient tools for collecting rules-in-use from non-policy documents, including in-depth interviews, focus groups, or participant observation. The goal is to create a protocol for collecting and later using the grammar to codify rules-in-use. The specific objectives are:

1) Share experiences in collecting rules-in-use.

2) Design the elements of an interview/focus group guide to correctly collect institutional statements, maximizing the number of grammar elements and minimizing the need to use “by default” conditions.

3) Discuss rewards and sanctions in rules, norms, and strategies (direct, emotional, and tangible consequences).

4) Design an open access protocol for collecting and analyzing institutional statements from qualitative ethnographic research.

Activities include participating in the online meetings, sharing experiences, and collaboratively creating the protocol for the study of rules-in-use. The protocol will be open access and co-authored by all members of this working group who actively participated in the meetings and writing of the protocol.
