A Study On The Process Of Organizational Change In The Perspective Of Path Dependence

Organizational change is the norm of the daily management of the organization in the new era,and it is the basic unit of action that the organization managers can practice to give full play to their superiority.This study focuses on the process of organizational change from the perspective of path dependence,highlighting the difference between path creation and path dependence and integrating it into a short-term process-Organization Change.This study combines the method of case study with process research to study the single change process of individual organization,adding time and space factors to the model,in order to open the black box of the process of change,which consisting of internal logics and mechanisms of a series of behavior choices.At a word,what we want to make is to provide behavior guidance for practical enterprises,and provide a new perspective for the existing organizational change research as well.The process of organizational change in the path dependence perspective can be divided into two basic stages:the early focuses on the path creation-the change agent plays the subjective initiative to stimulate the responses,making the organization filled with a lot of feasible behavioral tendencies for the subsequent program to determine the direction;the latter part focuses on the path dependence-the feedback to particular events and behavioral choices of the recipients play the decisive role,so that the follow-up effects of multiple above-mentioned events shape the specific form of the process of change.This study also emphasizes the impact of resistance in the whole process of change,but this study is different from the previous studies,which focus on the negative effects of resistance so as to refer to its resolution,but to internalize resistance into the logic of organizational change,identifying its positive impact on the direction and progress of the path-the positive impact of the resistance is closely related to the particular stage of focuses,helping to adjust and identify the direction of change in the path creation phase;while helping the shaping and locking of new behaviors,so that shaping the basic form of the change process.
