| Tiivistelmä: | It is necessary for further development of the institutional entrepreneurship approach to investigate the activities of institutional entrepreneurs at the intersection of local institutions and global influences in the context of science-based fields. This paper draws on complementary insights from the literatures on institutional entrepreneurship, Scandinavian Institutionalism, social / intellectual movements and spatial scales to examine the activities of scientists in the local institution of global scientific ideas. A qualitative case study is made of a globally pioneering heart health initiative in Finland. The results show that the scientific profession regulates agency in science-based fields, the holistic view of scientists is necessary to understand mobilization activities in this context, and the capacity of scientists to operate across spatial scales defines their capability for institutional entrepreneurship. |
