Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a theory of organizational inertia and adaptation, examining two distinct yet interacting processes that determine stability, change, and adaptation in organizations. The author challenges the prevalent views in organization theory and critically analyzes the relative merits of inertia versus adaptation, providing a set of boundary conditions for explaining both phenomena. The book also examines the effects of coercive environments, discusses the role of slack resources, and explores the influence of ambiguity, politics, and institutional factors on organizational structuring and change processes. By examining both long-run environmental selection and short-run environmental shocks, the book offers a more nuanced understanding of the complex interplay between organizations and their environments. It highlights the importance of studying both organizational stability and change, and the adaptive and nonadaptive consequences of organizational behavior. This book is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in organizational theory, strategic management, and organizational behavior. It offers a comprehensive framework for understanding the dynamics of organizational adaptation and change, providing insights into how organizations navigate the challenges of an ever-changing business landscape.
