Explaining Development and Change in Organizations
TLDR
In this article, the authors introduce four basic theories that may serve as building blocks for explaining processes of change in organizations: life cycle, teleology, dialectics, and evolution, which represent different sequences of change events that are driven by different conceptual motors and operate at different organizational levels.Abstract:
This article introduces four basic theories that may serve as building blocks for explaining processes of change in organizations: life cycle, teleology, dialectics, and evolution. These four theories represent different sequences of change events that are driven by different conceptual motors and operate at different organizational levels. This article identifies the circumstances when each theory applies and proposes how interplay among the theories produces a wide variety of more complex theories of change and development in organizational life.read more

Ozgur Dedehayir,Martin Steinert +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a critical review of the hype cycle model by seeking evidence from Gartner's own technology databases for the manifestation of hype cycles and show that the results of their empirical work show incongruences connected with the reports of Gartners, which motivates them to consider possible future directions, whereby the notion of hype or hyped dynamics can be captured in existing life cycle models through the identification of peak, disappointment and recovery patterns.
