A diametric forces model of strategic change: Assessing the antecedents and consequences of restructuring in the higher education industry
研究提出对立力量模型，分析高等教育机构面临的环境与组织压力如何驱动战略重组，并利用二十年纵向数据证明重组是提升绩效的适应性反应。
This study examines the environmental and organizational forces, counter-forces, and performance consequences of strategic restructuring in the higher education industry. The study proposes a diametric forces model to address the conflicting pressures for strategic change faced by these organizations, and uses extensive longitudinal data spanning the last two decades to examine the ways in which restructuring has been used as a successful adaptive response. The results suggest that, contrary to ecological predictions, restructuring is a predictable, common, and performance-enhancing response to changing environmental conditions. The study concludes by discussing the applicability of its findings for research on corporate restructuring and strategic change.
