How the basis of norms differs between the seven institutional logics

Logic
The professional logic	..entails autonomous judgment based on specialist knowledge. Norms are professionally developed and controlled by others in the profession [25, 27].
The corporate logic	..allows actors to achieve organizational goals through reproduction and efficiency by gaining authority over others [28]. Routines and administrative control of managers determine norms and procedures [27, 29].
The market logic	..lets consumer preferences, satisfaction and choice determine norms within the context of a broader market [25, 27, 30].
The community logic	..means that group membership gives a sense of belonging, maintained through reciprocities, trust and commitment to shared values. This supplies local norms for organizational practices [25, 31].
The state logic	..involves securing social and political order [32]. The government takes direct responsibility for health care and determines appropriate quality standards for care [27]. The basis of norms is citizenship in a nation [25].
The family logic	..involves fellowship and unconditional loyalty to family members and their needs [24]. Norms are related to membership in household [25].
The religious logic	..emphasizes the importance of faith and sacredness. The basis of norms is membership in a congregation [25].
