企业组织变革的动态演化过程--基于海尔和IBM纵向案例的生克化制机理的探讨

Dynamic Evolutionary Process of Organizational Changes——Exploring Enabling & Constraining and Metaplasia & Inhibitive Generation Mechanisms Based on a Longitudinal Comparative Case Study of Haier and IBM

组织变革作为企业应对复杂多变环境的必要举措,不仅是外力干预的结果 ,更是系统内力驱动的产物。本文将组织变革情境、过程与内容相关联,基于组织变革内容间的同一性与对立性,探究组织变革的内在动力源和系统螺旋式变化的过程机制。基于海尔和IBM双案例跨时期的比较分析,抽象出组织变革过程中由情境、观念、模式、制度和人性五阶段要素构成的闭合螺旋式动态演化系统,并将变革进程规律归纳为生与克关系交织并组合而成的化与制循环效应。本研究促进了"五行说"哲学思想在现代管理中的应用,并在悖论管理与系统动力学的融合中发展了内源性组织变革理论,同时为企业在转型变革中寻找当期突破性要素并区分变革质料与催化剂提供有价值的指导。

Organizational change is a necessity for enterprises to cope with complex,turbulent environments and it is the result of managerial intervention and inherent dynamics.This article connects the context,process and content of organizational change and explores the endogenous dynamics brought about by the similar and/or contradicting elements of change contents and evolutionary mechanisms in the spiraling processes.Based on a longitudinal comparative case study of Haier and IBM,a close-looped process of organizational change is identified,which is composed of such five elements as contextualization,mindset,mode,system and humanity subjecting to the duel effects of enabling and constraining,and thus constitute two sub-cycles from their different combined effects,named as metaplasia and inhibitive generation.This research contributes to the Chinese“Five-phase”philosophy in the application of modern management and advances the dynamic perspectives on endogenous organizational change in the meld of paradoxical management and system dynamics,in the meanwhile provides delineated guidance for enterprises to seek the breakthrough point and distinguish the materials and catalysts in the organizational change.
