Funded Activity Summary

Patterns of change in organizational structures in hyper-competitive environments. Aim: Longitudinal study of organizational structures in a highly competitive industry, focusing on change from traditional to new organizational structures. Our conceptual framework of retention, coexistence, replacement and integration enables assessment of patterns of structural change over time and tests of resource based and institutional theories about why organizational structures change. Significance: Our conceptual framework is innovative and provides a template for assessing current arguments about structural change and performance. Outcomes: Theoretical: greater understanding of relevance of organizational change theories. Practical: provision to managers of knowledge about new patterns of structuring organizations and which ones are associated with superior performance.
