| Abstract: | By considering flexibility as a valuable strategic option in turbulent environments, this article distinguishes 4 types of effective response to strategic change. On the basis of this typology, the article describes a method for diagnosing organizational flexibility and guiding the transition process: the Flexibility Audit and Redesign (FAR) method. This method was applied successfully within the Dutch Postbank NV, Philips Semiconductors and the Dutch National Gas Corporation. The findings suggest that a viable corporation has to oscillate between 'planned' and 'flexible' forms. |
