Emerald Insight commended the research behind a recent paper, Continuous Reconfiguration in the Transient Advantage Economy. In a nutshell, what I found was that firms that were capable of delivering consistent performance over a relatively long period of time did not tend to have dramatic downsizings, firings or major restructuring. What you see instead is that they change in small ways, but with a quick pace. In fact, you don’t see very much in the way of ‘change management’ at these places because they are continuously shifting their resources.
