This paper presents an analytical model for studying “encounters” that take place when ideas for innovation meet institutions (The IIE-model). Our model aims to expand the dichotomous barriers/driver approach in innovation research. Building on the theoretical contributions of studies on institutional logics and change, this model presents a dynamic, institution-based understanding of what happens when innovative ideas meet institutions. Four ideal types of encounters describe the mutual impact of institutions and innovative ideas. This paper aims to contribute to a wider and more nuanced understanding of the dynamics of innovation processes.
