Abstract

This paper introduces the notion of inter-organisational time, a dominant temporal institution at the organisational field level, and an environmental dimension absent from the extant literature. I argue that concepts such as temporal institutions and entrainment can help explain persistent dynamics in an organisational field that pace innovative activities. I use Quebec's biopharmaceutical field to illustrate a shift in inter-organisational time since the technology bubble burst. I suggest that including inter-organisational time in future analyses of organisational fields may improve understanding of the strategic context of innovation.
