The Pace, Sequence, and Linearity of Radical Change
基于12年实时数据，研究发现大规模快速变革并非决定因素，但早期改变特定“高影响”要素对完成激进转型至关重要，且变革在子组织层面以非线性方式展开。
The purpose of this research was to explore how the pace, sequence, and linearity of change can affect the outcome of radical transformations. Real-time data collected over 12 years showed that, contrary to popular belief, wide-scale rapid change was not a determining factor. However, early change to specific “high-impact” elements was found to be necessary for completing radical transitions. Further, analysis conducted at the suborganization level provided insight into the ways in which change unfurls in a nonlinear manner.
