| Abstract: | This study examines eight organizations utilizing a grounded-theory approach, and it finds that social networks make a difference in the capability of organizations to implement fundamental organizational change. In specific, it is examined whether networks enable the learning required for local units to develop the new schemata - understandings, behaviour and interaction patterns - required to adopt and appropriate planned organization-wide change. A mixture of organization-wide and local learning networks in organizations successfully implemented change, whereas the unsuccessful organizations relied primarily on hierarchical change implementation networks. |
