| Abstract: | Th punctuated equilibrium model of organizational transformation has emerged as a prominent theoretical framework for explaining fundamental changes in patterns of organizational activity. To date, however, few aspects of the model have been tested formally. The authors tested three basic arguments of the model using data on U.S. minicomputer producers. Supportive results show that (1) a large majority of organizational transformations were accomplished via rapid and discontinuous change over most or all domains of organizational activity, (2) small changes in structures, strategies, and power distributions did not accumulate to produce fundamental transformations. |
