Strategizing in the multi-business firm: Strategy teams at multiple levels and over time
Strategy teams have received little attention in the strategic management literature. The goal of this article is to fill this theoretical and empirical gap by studying the practices of strategy teams. Drawing upon an in-depth longitudinal case study of a FTSE-100 multi-business firm and evidence from 36 interviews, this study points to the importance of both actions and interactions of corporate centre and business unit strategy teams during the…

This is a systematic, empirical study of the change in firms from traditional multi-divisional hierarchies to flatter, less rigid networks. Eight very recent international case studies generate a rich array of data

What is a processual analysis?
The New Public Management in Action
This book analyses changes which have occurred in the organization and management of the UK public services over the last 15 years, particularly drawing on rich primary data from restructured NHS settings. The book argues that real change has occurred at the top of these organizations and that novel organizational 'hybrids' may be emerging.
Longitudinal Field Research on Change: Theory and Practice
This paper reveals the author's theory of method for conducting longitudinal field research on change. The paper also discusses a range of practical problems in carrying out time-series research in organisational settings. The practical problems include dealing with time in longitudinal research; issues of site selection, choices about data collection and degrees of involvement the importance of clarifying research outputs, audience, and presenta…
Coping With Change in the NHS: A Frontline District's Response to Aids
The core of this paper is a case study of how a District Health Authority (Paddington and North Kensington, now Parkside DHA following a recent merger with Brent DHA) in Inner London responded to a major new health care issue of the 1980s—Aids, but the paper also seeks to locate this case study material within wider debates. What theories are there of organisational change which could be used to illuminate policy and service change in the health …
Strategic human resource management in the UK computer supplier industry
Technological, economic and market forces are causing organizations to make radical changes in both their strategy and human resource management (HRM). This study examines the impact of change on computer supplier firms using interviews with 11 personnel directors and executives and three industry experts, supported by secondary evidence. In response to strategic change firms are pursuing four streams of HRM activity: the management of culture; t…
Understanding Change in the NHS
This paper presents a novel and distinctive approach to the study of change within the NHS. Central to the paper's approach is the view that research on change in health care systems should be processual, comparative, pluralist, and historically based. Guiding such a view is a meta‐analytical framework which contends that theoretically sound and practically useful research on change should involve the continuous interplay between ideas about the …
The Politics of Organizational Decision-Making
Towards a Political Theory of Organizational Intervention
This paper discusses the neglected theme of the political context of the interventionist's work in terms of the client-consultant relationship and the consultant-consultant relationship. It is suggested that the internal consultant's ability to influence clients will be a function of his possession and tactical use of five power resources: expertise, control over information, political access and sensitivity, assessed stature and group support. O…
Occupational Specialization as an Emergent Process
Information Control as a Power Resource
This study uses a variety of methods-reactive and unobtrusive-to operationalize the filtering of information during an innovative decision process by a gatekeeper. Specific data are presented on gatekeeping within the focal organization and also between the focal organization and other organizations in its organization set. Theoretically, the paper explores the increased possibilities for filtering information under the uncertain conditions of an…
