组织科学家还没有对组织衰退进行充分的研究，因为他们全神贯注于组织成长及其后果。对增长的强调反映了我们社会的实际组织条件和主流意识形态。然而，对即将到来的紧缩时代的预测意味着有必要研究组织衰退的管理。在本文中，我提出了一个研究、教学和咨询活动的议程，以纠正我们对这一主题的忽视。
Organizational decline has not been adequately examined by organizational scientists, because they are preoccupied with organizational growth and its consequences. The emphasis on growth reflects actual organizational conditions and the prevailing ideology in our society. However, predictions of an emerging era of retrenchment imply a need to study the management of organizational decline. In this paper, I propose an agenda of research, teaching, and consulting activities to rectify our neglect of this topic.
