Social housing has long been delivered through mixed economy
mechanisms, but there has been little focus in housing studies on
what this means for housing organisations themselves. This book
presents recent international research applying concepts of social
enterprise and hybridity to illuminate organisational behaviour in
the housing sector. It addresses critiques of the explanatory value
of these concepts by exploring their underlying meanings and their
application to diverse case studies worldwide. The concepts are
found to be most useful where they inform dynamic analysis of
hybridisation and identify underlying change mechanisms, rather
than simply providing static descriptions of hybridity. Various
chapters in the book show how analysis can be enriched by drawing
on institutional theory to develop concepts such as competing
organisational logics, trade-offs between social and commercial
goals and resource transfers. The Book also looks at policy as a
driver for hybridisation and to the regulatory challenges for
policy systems that have come to rely on hybrid forms of delivery.
A research agenda is proposed building on these conceptual
frameworks to develop systematic approaches to data collection and
analysis to enable clearer and more consistent meanings to emerge.
This book was published as a special issue of Housing Studies.
