Due to the high cost, high complexity, and long contract duration of large BOT cases, the success or failure of the cases depends on the interaction between the two parties and the contract management. However, there are inherent differences in the institutional logic between the public and private sectors, resulting in conflicts between their actions, and the resolution of disputes depends on the use of the residual control rights. We would like to explore how the two parties utilize the residual control under the conflicting institutional logics, as well as its results and problems. This study provides a systematic analytical framework for institutional logic, namely ''institutional environment - organizational logic - goal behavior.'' This framework offers a comprehensive institutional analysis and explanation that connects the internal and external environments, addressing the challenges of long-term BOT contracts. This study adopts a case study approach and selects a BOT case as the target. The case has been constructed and operated for more than ten years, which can be used as a practical case to understand the operation of BOT model in a longitudinal way. The critical incident technique is adopted in the research strategy. Through semi-structured interviews and with reference to secondary data such as contracts, performance evaluation reports, and organizational regulations, the impact of institutional logic on the management of interactions and contracts is revealed in the controversial events identified by senior executives from both the public and private sectors. The study finds that the causes and solutions of disputes are related to the differences in institutional logic between the two parties. Decision makers need to select strategies that fit the organization's specific context and goals, and establish a mechanism similar to the joint steering committee to facilitate regular communication and mutual benefit. In addition, examining contract discretion with institutional logic, this study finds that under the emerging organizational logic of enterprises (ESG strategy in this case), the private sector may be positively relaxing contract discretion and accepting demands outside the contract. |
