Politics and Strategic Change Across Organizational Life Cycles
结合组织政治与生命周期理论，提出政治伴随战略变革，但在不同生命周期阶段表现不同，并构建了政治生命周期模型，对管理者和研究者有参考价值。
This paper links research on political processes in organizations with research on organizational life cycles and strategic change. It is proposed that politics accompany strategic changes but are manifested differently at each stage of an organization's life cycle. A political life cycle model is developed in which contextual factors and strategic choices work together to evoke different political tactics during each period of the life cycle. The implications of this model for practicing managers and for research are addressed.
