Context and Action in the Transformation of the Firm: A Reprise
回顾了Pettigrew 1985和1987年研究的优缺点,指出其未能将情境、过程与结果联系起来,并对比了五位过程学者的方法,为未来过程研究提供指导。
abstract This article returns to address the strengths and limitations of Pettigrew 1985 and 1987. It then responds to two of the main deficiencies of those publications. These are the failure to link context to process to outcome in those studies and in process scholarship more generally and the limited treatment of the method of process analysis offered by Pettigrew in 1985 and 1987. The article then compares and contrasts the methods of five additional process scholars – Mintzberg, Burgelman, Langley, Van de Ven, and Eisenhardt – to highlight developments in the conduct of process research since the mid and late 1980s, and to identify a set of pointers for the conduct of future process research.
