In this study, Hybrid Organizations (HOs) are conceptualized as agents of positive change for regional development. By drawing on Structuration Theory, four cases of HOs located in Central Italy are analyzed to understand their role in transforming social structures of signification, domination and legitimation. Three different change strategies are identified by triangulating qualitative evidence on 38 change actions that generated sustainable value for local communities and rural areas. By (1) guiding, (2) realizing or (3) orchestrating positive change for regional development, HOs can respectively inspire other agents, directly implement or administrate resources to answer social/environmental needs of regional systems.
