本文认为，当动态地看待组织变革时，组织变革既可以是适应性的，也可以是破坏性的。类似地，随着时间的推移，使组织变得惰性的相同力量也使它们更具可塑性。这些观点得到了组织失败和变革的动态模型的支持，这些模型估计在193年内芬兰有1,011家报纸组织。组织变革被发现有两种后果：第一种是立即增加组织失败的风险，第二种是立即增加发生其他同类变革的可能性。然而，在这两种情况下，立竿见影的效果随着时间的推移而下降。最后，变更的效果还取决于组织生命周期内的时间安排。
This paper suggests that, when viewed dynamically, organizational change can be both adaptive and disruptive. Similarly, when viewed over time, the same forces that make organizations inert also make them more malleable. These ideas are supported by dynamic models of organizational failure and change estimated on a population of 1,011 Finnish newspaper organizations over 193 years. Organizational changes are found to have two consequences: The first is an immediate increase in the hazard of organizational failure, and the second is an immediate increase in the likelihood of additional changes of the same type. In both cases, however, the immediate effect declines over time. Finally, the effects of change also depend on timing within the organization's life cycle.
