- It can often integrate Emerging Technology through institutional adoption processes.
- It can often balance Competing Interest through institutional negotiation frameworks.
- It can often distribute Adaptation Resource through institutional allocation systems.

- It can range from being a Reactive Institutional Adaptation Mechanism to being a Proactive Institutional Adaptation Mechanism, depending on its temporal orientation.
- It can range from being a Formal Institutional Adaptation Mechanism to being an Informal Institutional Adaptation Mechanism, depending on its codification degree.
- It can range from being a Simple Institutional Adaptation Mechanism to being a Complex Institutional Adaptation Mechanism, depending on its structural complexity.
- It can range from being a Conservative Institutional Adaptation Mechanism to being a Transformative Institutional Adaptation Mechanism, depending on its change magnitude.
