ABSTRACT

Thirdly, as pointed out by Sinding et al., the organization was very flexible:

This made possible the introduction of AWGs (autonomous work groups) in the first place, but also increased the ability and desire to handle organizational changes afterwards. Hence, the O.D.[organizational development] change in 1983 in itself improved the ability of the organization to make another (later) O.D. change, neutralizing the first one! (Sinding et al., 1994: 83).
