Abstract
The past 20 years has seen the rapid rise of hybrid organizations that blend traditional organizational
elements with market-like elements. Over the same time period, there has also been a global
explosion in innovation. In this paper we examine the relationship between elements of hybrid
organization forms and innovation outcomes. We use meta-analysis to summarize data on 16,605
firms across industries and geographies. Our results show that robust relationships exist between
innovation and three key elements of hybrid organizations – autonomy, rewards and ownership.
Further analyses reveal that organizational support provides a critical link between innovation
and the hybrid organizational levers.
