Abstract: This study investigates the theorization of information technology within institutionalised fields, where technology threatens the very foundation of the institution. Drawing on a case study, this study demonstrates a process of successful IT theorisation, and contributes to the literature on IT institutionalization by enriching our knowledge of various theorisation activities. This research also offers a nuanced understanding of how organising visions are crafted to ensure the coexistence of disruptive innovation and traditional institutions.
