Abstract: Management control systems (MCS) are at the heart of New Public Management reforms, leading to the diffusion of a new managerial logic in universities where strong competing institutional logics pre-exist. Driven by a perspective centered on professional groups, this research contributes to a better understanding of the micro-foundations of the institutionalization process in organizations. The characterization of several dimensions of the logics (values, missions, source of legitimacy, governance and control) allows us to specify their compatibility and the sources of potential conflicts. Our results also show how the new formal MCS and interactions of individuals and groups around these MCS alter the representations associated with the managerial logic, and contribute consequently to its institutionalization.
