Abstract (De)
Smart City Managers (SCMs) need to perform institutional work to drive change in their cities. Institutional work emphasizes the role of human behavior to change the institutional environment (DiMaggio, 1998). Smart city officials performing institutional work try to unite people around a shared vision, motivate them to participate and cooperate to address common challenges. They have the responsibility to initiate and implement work practices and act like institutional entrepreneurs, innovators or change agents. Which specific types of institutional work practices are necessary to change institutions towards smart city transformation is topic of this article.
