Abstract

Public innovation labs are multiplying, yet their long‐term sustainability remains uncertain. This article examines the appropriation mechanisms that underpin their sustainability, drawing on a longitudinal case study conducted in a French regional government. Findings suggest that, over time, cycles of reappropriation emerge in response to new actors, competing dispositives and strategic or organizational changes. In these situations, actors engage in symbolic adjustments to preserve coherence between the identity of the dispositive and a shifting environment. Such adjustments determine the lab's legitimacy and longevity, whereas their absence or weakening lead to its marginalization or disappearance. This study advances the appropriation literature by emphasizing the pivotal role of symbolic mechanisms in the trajectory of public innovation labs and offers practical insights for management.
