The Dynamics of Organizational Routines in a Startup: The Ereda Model
基于对一家初创网络开源技术企业的三年扎根理论研究,提出了组织惯例动态的EREDA模型,描述了五种对新建惯例的响应模式,并指出学习与遗忘的循环(知识塑造)可解释惯例随时间的变化。
We propose a model of the dynamics of organizational routines developed from a three‐year qualitative grounded theory study in a startup web‐based open source technology organization. At the micro level, the model describes five primary responses to newly formed routines: extension, replacement, elucidation, distortion, and avoidance (EREDA). Each mode is determined by both the degree of comprehension and the perceived value, and we propose that interrelated cycles of learning and forgetting processes – what we label as knowledge shaping – may help explain the variation of routines over time. We draw implications from these findings for theory and practice and offer suggestions for future research on the dynamics of organizational routines.
