To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If environments are coercive and change is unambiguous, organizations will attempt to change and adapt to the environment. But organizational change is often costly, and the organization's ability to change will depend on the existence of organizational slack. 5. The existence of an inverse relationship between age and organizational mortality rates found by population ecologists may reflect the increasing accumulation of organizational slack with age, and the higher survival prospects for orga...nizations with higher levels of slack. This alternative explanation of the liability of newness found in the population ecology literature holds when envirorunents are coercive and change is unambiguous. 6. The existence of ambiguity greatly complicates the analysis of organizational inertia and adaptation. If environments are coercive, change at the population level will reflect organizational demands. Functionalist theories, however will not explain change at the organizational level and political, cultural and economic forces all have an autonomous influence on organizational stability and change.
