Process Studies of Change in Organization and Management: Unveiling Temporality, Activity, and Flow
探讨了过程研究如何关注事物随时间涌现、发展或终止，分析了其本体论假设、方法挑战，并展示了在组织与管理变革中揭示时间性、矛盾驱动和跨层次互动的贡献。
Process studies focus attention on how and why things emerge, develop, grow, or terminate over time. We identify various ontological assumptions underlying process research, explore its methods and challenges, and draw out some of its substantive contributions revealed in this Special Research Forum on Process Studies of Change in Organization and Management. Process studies take time seriously, illuminate the role of tensions and contradictions in driving patterns of change, and show how interactions across levels contribute to change. They may also reveal the dynamic activity underlying the maintenance and reproduction of stability.
