PurposeThe adoption of social procurement, the emerging practice of using a firm's spending power to generate social value, requires buying firms to navigate conflicts of institutional logics. Adopting an institutional work perspective, this study aims to investigate how buying firms change their existing procurement institutions to adopt and advance social procurement.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted an in-depth case study of a social procurement initiative in the UK. This case study comprised of 16 buying firms that were actively participating in the social procurement initiative at the time of data collection (2020–2021). The data were largely captured through a set of 41 semi-structured interviews.FindingsFour types of institutional work were observed: reducing institutional conflicts, crossing institutional boundaries, legitimising institutional change and spreading the new institutional logic. These different types of institutional work appeared in a sequential way.Originality/valueThis study contributes to various strands of literature investigating the role of procurement in generating value and benefits within societies, adopting an institutional lens to investigate the buying firms' purposeful actions to change procurement institutions. Secondly, this study complements the existing literature investigating the conflicts of institutional logics by illustrating the ways firms address such institutional conflicts when adopting and advancing social procurement. Finally, this work contributes to the recently emerging research on institutional work that examines the creation and establishment of new institutions by considering the existing procurement institutions in the examination of institutional work.

This study brings together scholarship in economics, sociology, and anthropology to explore the connections between dietary preferences, socio-economic class, cultural beliefs, and social ethics. We analyze household-level panel data to identify the socio-economic covariates of households that are vegetarian, meat-eaters, or that have shifted from vegetarianism to meat-eating, or vice versa. We also consider the role of social movements, political discourse, and state regulations that affect dietary preferences. We argue that vegetarianism in modern India is radically different from vegetarianism in the West. In India, vegetarianism is associated with social conservatism and is used as a mechanism to perpetuate patriarchy, caste-based discrimination, as well as religious intolerance. We support this argument by demonstrating linkages between vegetarian dietary preferences and conservative social beliefs and practices at the household level.
