| Tiivistelmä: | There are a growing body of theoretical work, wide anecdotal evidence, and a few large-scale empirical studies supporting the view that business firms quite rarely change their organizational structure, a phenomenon usually referred to in the literature as structural inertia. The present paper aims to analyze empirically the determinants of structural inertia and organizational change. As far as we know, this work constitutes the first attempt to directly address such issue through econometric estimates based on a large, longitudinal dataset at plant level. For this purpose, the authors consider changes of the organizational structure within a sample composed of 438 Italian manufacturing plants observed from 1975 to 1996. |
