Abstract: In this paper, we intend to answer the following question: What role can a portfolio of management tools play in organizations that experience institutional complexity, i.e. multiple and potentially antagonistic logics that shape the organizational process? More specifically, we study the case of artistic creative organizations, which face multiple logics. To that end, we have used the theoretical framework proposed by Boltanski and Thévenot (1991, 2006). We have also conducted a qualitative case study which provides a textbook example of an organization which is confronted with institutional complexity characterized by artistic, managerial and political logics: A French Scène Nationale theater. We have carried out semi-structured interviews of key stakeholders within this organization and analyzed internal and external documents. We show that the portfolio of management tools enables a compromise to be reached between the various logics and the worlds they are associated with.
