Abstract
Organizational renewal requires that
a
firm’s
top
managers make timely adjustments
in
their
mental models following significant changes in the environment. Our initial propositions
about the difference between renewal and decline focused
on
whether similar organizations
in similar contexts differ in their ability to
recognize
signi&ant changes in their environments.
Analysis
of
longitudinal
data
from a matched pair of
U.S.
railroads suggested, however,
that renewal hinges not
so
much
on
noticing new conditions, but
on
being able to
link
environmental change
to
corporate strategy and to modify that linkage over time.
In
the
successful company we studied organizational renewal
is
a
continuous process
of
first
and
second order changes in cognitive maps
