| Abstract: | The article introduces an economic model of the relationship between influence activity and resistance to change in organizations. The author shows that influence activity can create harmful barriers to change and that there is a positive relation between the influence costs of change and firms prospects. Whether the employees engage in influence activity or not depends on how strongly they expect a change in the firms organizational form. The model confirms that firms often must experience a survival-threatening crisis before meaningful change can take place. |
