The dynamics of rules change in written organizational codes James G. March, Martin Schulz, Xueguang Zhou. Stanford, California Stanford University Press ©2000. xi, 228 pages 23 cm Includes bibliographical references (pages 209-219) and index. Rules in organizations -- Rules at Stanford -- Speculating about rule dynamics -- An event history approach -- Explaining patterns of rule birth -- Explaining patterns of rule change -- Regularities in rule dynamics -- Toward an understanding of rules. "This study uses qualitative and quantitative data from the history of a specific organization, Stanford University, to develop speculations about the ways in which written rules change. It contributes both to a theory of rules and to theories of organizational decision-making change, and learning. Organizations respond to problems and react to internal or external pressures by focusing attention on existing and potential rules. The creation, modification, or elimination of a rule, then, is a response to events in the outside environment (such as new government regulations) or to events within the organization (such as alterations in internal government structures)."--Jacket.
