Strategic Change: The Effects Of Founding And History
研究考察了组织战略随时间的演变以及战略变革的条件，发现创始特征通过形成内部共识来塑造初始战略，而后续条件则影响初始战略的延续程度。
The research reported here examined the evolution of strategy over time and the conditions under which change in strategy is likely. Findings show that characteristics of an organization's founding imprint its initial strategy by contributing to an internal consensus around a given strategic approach. Conditions subsequent to founding also influence the degree to which an initial strategy is perpetuated. The study examined perspectives on organizational change and inertia and further developed them to explain the role of history and precedence in shaping strategic action.
