| Abstract | This chapter explores the implementation of the smart city idea in Stavanger Municipality. While smart city ideas are internationally varyingly defined, Stavanger co-developed and adopted a local and national roadmap for smart city implementation in the municipality. This qualitative case study explores how the office, established for the smart city implementation in Stavanger, coped with the implementation process in practice, considering respectively rational, natural, new institutional, and translation theory perspectives of organizational change. Data were collected from spring 2019 to spring 2020, employing qualitative interviews and document analyses of semi-annual reports (2018–2019), to explore the research question: What happened with smart city ideas under their implementation in the Stavanger Municipality, in view of selected organizational change theory? The data were analyzed by applying pre-elaborated theory-derived checkpoints. Findings indicate that the Stavanger Municipality seems to have implemented the smart city idea during processes strongly related to established organizational culture. During various stages of the process, each of the considered organizational change theories were reflected, dependent on the time of evaluation, culminating in the establishment of translation competence in the organization. The study’s findings and view of understanding may inspire and critically prepare other medium-sized urban municipalities on their way to becoming smart cities. © 2025 selection and editorial matter, Barbara Maria Sageidet, Daniela Müller-Eie, and Kristiane M.F.
