Pathways of Change: Organizations in Transition
This article discusses and illustrates organizational changes as initiated by ownership transition. It develops and elaborates three different pathways that organizations might follow through the process of transformation from government departments to state‐owned enterprises, and then to privately‐owned companies: the incremental, radical and reductive pathways.

La nouvelle presse juridique et les métiers du droit
The New Legal Press and the Redefinition of the Legal Professions This article describes the emergence in the late 1970s of three new American law journals and studies their influence on legal journalism, the law and the legal profession.

By analyzing the movers and stayers in a population …

Minimalist Organizations: Vital Events in State Bar Associations, 1870-1930
This paper uses national data on the growth of state bar associations to develop organizational theory in three respects. First it refines the theory of organizational vital events through a distinction between minimalist and nonminimalist organizations. Second, it develops conceptually and empirically the interplay of time (age, cohort, and period) and size in explanations of the founding and failure of associations. Third, it tests various popu…
