Organizational routines: between change and stability—Introduction to the special section
本文是特刊引言，梳理了组织惯例在行为与演化理论中的核心地位及争议，旨在为不同定义和方法的未来研究建立共同基础。
Abstract The notion of organizational routine has been at the core of behavioral and evolutionary theories in economics, management and organization studies, but has also been a source of debate and controversy. The discussion has concerned the very definition of what organizational routines are (and are not), their nature, consequences, and units of observation and analysis. In this short introductory article, we try to establish some useful common grounds which, notwithstanding the diversity of definitions and approaches, could promote future useful lines of research. We see the contributions to this special section as moving forward the research on routines in that direction.
