Punctuated equilibrium or ambidexterity: dynamics of incremental and radical organizational change over time
通过模拟研究，考察环境动荡性和复杂性如何影响组织渐进与激进变革的时间模式，发现动荡性和复杂性高时出现动态双元性，对管理组织变革有启示。
Using formal simulation, I examine how environmental turbulence and complexity influence the temporal patterns of incremental and radical organizational change. In stable and simple environments, incremental change is found to be sufficient to keep pace with the task environment. Both turbulence and complexity are found to generate a punctuated equilibrium pattern but with different underlying mechanisms. When both turbulence and complexity are high, the punctuated equilibrium pattern is replaced by a dynamic type of ambidexterity. Implications for managing organizational change are discussed. \n
