The Effect of Core Change on Performance: Inertia and Regression toward the Mean
研究了组织市场地位变化对市场份额的影响，检验惯性与均值回归理论，发现变革通常导致绩效下降，但对低绩效组织有利，对大型成功组织有害。
This paper examines the consequences of changes in the organization's market position on its market share, testing arguments of inertia and regression toward the mean and taking into account recent methodological critiques of studies on the consequences of organizational change. A study of format change in the U.S. radio industry, 1984—1992, shows that changes cause performance to decline, as inertia theory predicts, but this is moderated by organizational size and performance before the change, so change can be beneficial for low-performing organizations but may be harmful for large and successful organizations.
