"The paper finds that organizational changes drift away, either by slipping into the everyday practices of the organization, or by drifting away in time when history is reinterpreted. The paper concludes that organizational change failures suffer the same fate as organizational changes more generally and drift away in space and time."
"The purpose of this paper is to explore the fluidity of the fieldwork roles “insider” and “outsider.” The paper aims to move the discussion of insiders from an a priori categorized status and contribute to the literary insider–outsider debate by unfolding the micro process of how the role of an insider is shaped in situ. Grounded in empirical examples, the paper illustrates how the researcher’s role is shaped through interactions with organizational members and by context."
"The purpose of this paper is to explore whether there is a link between retrospective and prospective sensemaking by analyzing metaphors of past and potential future changes."

"...when it comes to micro changes, all employees become change agents. It's not only a few who can influence the change, as we often see when it comes to strategic changes, but instead, micro changes affect all organizational members, and everybody can initiate micro changes. HR has a vital role in ensuring and facilitating that employees feel they are empowered to work proactively with micro changes.
