Is the end in sight? A study of how and why services are decommissioned in the English National Health Service
The decommissioning of a health-care service is invariably a highly complex and contentious process which faces many implementation challenges. There has been little specific theorisation of this phenomena, although insights can be transferred from wider literatures on policy implementation and change processes. In this paper, we present findings from empirical case studies of three decommissioning processes initiated in the English National Heal…
Disruption on Steroids
Over the past three decades, several industries including newspapers, broadcasting, book publishing and selling, music, movie, travel, financial services, and now the automobile industry have been disrupted by entrepreneurs using innovative business models based on lean and customizable technologies. Business schools have celebrated and promoted these developments, producing books, articles, and case studies documenting the profound changes that …
The sustainability of new programs and innovations
Cambridge Handbook of Culture, Organizations, and Work
It is now widely recognized that countries around the world are becoming increasingly interconnected, and that both public and private organizations are of necessity becoming increasingly global. As political, legal, and economic barriers recede in this environment, cultural barriers emerge as a principal challenge to organizational survival and success. It is not yet clear whether these global realities will cause cultures to converge, harmonize…

Le besoin d'innovation, et la difficulte de la stimuler et de l'entretenir alimentent le marche de multiples entreprises specialisees dans la recherche en organisations. L'A. montre comment la recherche en organisations est elle-meme menacee par la routine et par l'institutionnalisation

Patterns of Technological Innovation.Devendra Sahal
Organizational Innovation
Individual, organizational, and contextual variables were found to be much better predictors of hospital adoption of technological innovations than of administrative innovations. The two different ...
Organization Design
Issues in Family Practice
The elevation of Family Medicine to the status of a recognized specialty is designed, at least in part, to enhance the attractiveness of family practice as a career alternative for physicians. This paper examines the attitudinal orientations of group of medical students and physicians toward family practice in an attempt to highlight some of the issues that might be anticipated as this new specialty develops. Based on the results, it is concluded…
Hospital Adoption of Innovation
In this paper it is hypothesized that observed variability in hospital adoption of innovation can be accounted for, at least in part, by variability in the development of structural mechanisms which provide access to information about change in the environment. The hypothesis is tested using data from a national sample of hospitals, and on an aggregate basis the results support the theoretical perspective, although certain integration-enhancing m…

Issues in the Design of Longitudinal Organizational Research
While there is a growing awareness in the field of organizational sociology of the need for longitudinal research, there are few exemplars to serve as guides for those interested in the design of such research. Written to provide an overview of issues in this increasingly important area, this paper begins by developing a working definition of longitudinal organizational research by examining the kinds of advantages that are generally held to deri…

An Empirical Approach to Work Behavior, Interaction and Rehabilitation
Shortly after beginning a study of the organization and administration of sheltered workshops, we became aware of a dilemma peculiar to these workshops as a class of organizations; namely that their work has two distinct sets of consequence. In one sense, work is an economic activity which involves the workshops in many of the operations of typical business organizations; these economic aspects of the production activities have been reported else…
