Dynamics of Organizational Routines: A Generative Model
提出一个生成模型，解释组织惯例如何随时间变化，说明行动模式的变异和选择性保留足以解释惯例的形成、惯性、内生变化和学习，对研究动态能力的学者有用。
abstract This paper introduces a generative model of organizational routines and their change over time. The model demonstrates that variation and selective retention of patterns of action are necessary and sufficient to explain the features of organizational routines that are most relevant in relation to dynamic capabilities, such as formation, inertia, endogenous change, and learning. The model directly links micro‐level actions to the macro‐level dynamics of routines. The results suggest that focusing on action provides a useful and parsimonious foundation for a theory of organizational routines and capabilities.
