Résumé
Le MT Lab est le premier incubateur en Amérique du Nord ayant pour mission de propulser l’entrepreneuriat et innovation dans les secteurs du tourisme, de la culture et du divertissement. Cette organisation biface dessert ces secteurs dans leurs besoins évolutifs et soutient les organisations incubées qui pourront éventuellement répondre aux besoins de ces secteurs. Or, cette structure peut créer des tensions identitaires provenant de ses nombreuses parties prenantes. Cette étude de cas explore les tensions et le rôle paradoxal des parties prenantes dans le développement stratégique de l’organisation établie à Montréal. À l’issue de cette étude de cas comportant une décomposition temporelle de trois périodes, des paradoxes émergent : l’identité organisationnelle est à la fois un construit structurant et évolutif et, en mobilisant l’ambiguïté stratégique pour transiger avec les sources d’ambiguïté identitaire, les acteurs organisationnels peuvent également ralentir leur développement.

Abstract
MT Lab is North America’s first incubator to drive entrepreneurship and innovation in the tourism, cultural, and entertainment industries. This two-sided organization serves the evolving needs of these sectors and supports the incubated organizations that will eventually meet these sectors’ needs. However, this structure creates identity tensions among its many stakeholders. This case study explores the tensions and the paradoxical role of stakeholders in the strategic development of the Montreal-based organization. At the end of this case study, involving a temporal decomposition of three periods, paradoxes emerge: organizational identity is both a structuring and an evolving construct, and by mobilizing strategic ambiguity to compromise with sources of identity ambiguity, organizational actors can also slow down their development.
