This article conducts a comparative case study concerning institutional logic multiplicity in university-industry collaboration projects. The purpose of the study is to examine how organizations are able to response logic multiplicity formed by a pair of institutional logics, such as professional logic and managerial logic, and enjoy institutional rationality. We offer findings based on qualitative analysis of interviews; Organizations try to decrease conflict by using another new institutional logic as a toolkit, and the consequence is effected by the relationship between logic multiplicity. For example, uncertainty of knowledge application may effect the degree and quality of conflict and obstruct the organizations' strategy such as a toolkit.
