coercive isomorphism correct answers Neo-institutionalism: An organization changes through

shortened product life cycles and rapid responses by competitors - produces pressure for change

Why Do Organizations Not Change in Response to Environmental Pressures? correct answers -
Organizational learning vs threat rigidity
-Environment as an objective entity vs environment as a cognitive construction
-Forces for change vs. forces for stability
-Bridging (adapting) vs buffering (shielding)
Organizational learning vs threat rigidity correct answers whether external pressures facilitate or
inhibit the process of change.
Environment as an objective entity vs environment as a cognitive construction correct answers
The former treats the environment as an objective entity to which managers must respond. The
latter emphasizes the centrality of managers' interpretations of environmental conditions as the
key determinant of behavior.
Forces for change vs. forces for stability correct answers External forces can vary; they either
promote change or promote stability
Bridging (adapting) vs buffering (shielding) correct answers These represent either strategies that
can maintain effectiveness by adapting parts of the organization to changes happening in the
outside environment (bridging) or focusing on efficiency by avoiding change through shielding
parts of it from the effects of the environment (buffering).
Why Do Organizations Not Change After Crises? correct answers Organizational learning
difficulties
Second-order and third-order causal factors are not understood
Lack of a 'psychologically safe environment'

appealing/rewarding than 'innovative' agendas focused on the development of something new
(e.g., products, markets, systems)
