A Popperian View of Change in Innovative Organizations
指出库恩的范式理论不足以描述创新组织的快速变革，转而用波普尔的“永久革命”概念来解释，帮助利益相关者理解并促进这类变革。
The cognitive model used by theorists and practitioners to understand organization change is most likely based on Kuhn's paradigm scheme of normal (i.e., the routine verification of the dominant theory in any historical period) vs. revolutionary (i.e., the abrupt development of a rival paradigm that can only be accepted gradually by the scientific community) science. This perspective suggests that scientific revolutions are rare. However, this article contends that changes are occurring so rapidly in innovative organizations that Kuhnian notions of "scientific revolutions" do not adequately describe this phenomena. Rather, these changes are more congruent with Sir Karl Popper's concept of "revolution in permanence." The conclusions of this research should allow organization stakeholders to better understand (1) the process of change in innovative organizations, and (2) how to facilitate these changes.
