Dynamics of Organizational Change

چکیده
This paper discusses a model of organizational change as described in the punctuated equilibrium model. The model builds on two previous models in this area, i.e. the one by Frechette and Spital and the one by Sastry. After discussing shortcomings in both these models a new model is presented which is believed to be (a) a more valid representation of Tushman and Romanelli’s theory of punctuated organizational change, and (b) an extension of both existing models incorporating new structure not represented so far. The paper discusses the structure of the new model and tests its validity by comparing dynamics from the model with those stated in the theory. Sensitivity analyses are conducted in order to further explore model behavior and find potential inconsistencies and areas for improvement. In a concluding section the limitations of our model are discussed and improvements for the future are proposed.
