The Dynamics of Influence in Corporate Co‐Evolution
从政治视角研究组织与外部关系中的权力如何转化为影响力并驱动共同演化，以中国最大集装箱码头为例，分析其与政府机构的关系如何影响自身及行业演化。
abstract This paper aims to offer new theoretical and empirical insights into co‐evolutionary development. Theoretically, it advances a political perspective which focuses on the role of power and how this can be translated into influence as an evolutionary driver through the relational framework between an organization and external parties. Empirically, the paper elaborates this perspective by reference to how China's largest container terminal evolved within a changing environment, and how its evolution in turn impacted on the evolution of its sector. In this case, the key relational framework was that between the organization and government institutions. Application of a political perspective to the case study suggests a theoretical model that can inform future research and practice.
